We’re going big and bold again, so let’s not waste any more time. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our free picks on the side and total for every NBA game today.
Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+375)
Memphis Grizzlies ML (+110)
Los Angeles Clippers ML (+110)
Parlay odds: +1995
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+375) over Washington Wizards
That’s right, I’m picking the Thunder to start off this mega parlay. In my opinion it’s a bit ridiculous for Washington to be this large of a favorite over anyone. I can’t imagine laying nearly double digits with the Wizards right now. Washington is just 6-12 in their last 18 games, and most of those six wins came against depleted or terrible teams.
They just lost at home to the Rockets less than a week ago, so they clearly are vulnerable to an upset like this. Say what you will about the Thunder, but they haven’t been the complete doormat that many expected before the year. The Wizards had to scrap and claw to beat the 7-34 Magic their last time out, they aren’t too intimidating of an opponent.

Memphis Grizzlies ML (+110) over Golden State Warriors
Now is the time to fade the Warriors. Golden State is coming off an emotional game at home where Klay Thompson made his highly anticipated return to lots of fanfare. It was a draining experience, and I think they could come out a bit flat here on the road. And either way, the Grizzlies are just playing really well right now. Memphis isn’t getting nearly enough credit for being 28-14 despite being without Ja Morant for a significant stretch.
Incredibly, they’ve gone 19-4 over their last 23 games. They’ve put up at least 118 points in five of their last six, and the Warriors aren’t quite the same team away from home. Golden State is also going to be without Draymond Green, which is a huge blow. The Warriors haven’t been playing their best ball lately, and have failed to top 96 points in three straight games.
Los Angeles Clippers ML (+110) over Denver Nuggets
To wrap this mega parlay up and hopefully bring us home, we’ve got the Clippers. Los Angeles is shorthanded, but they’re so well-coached that they can still hang with anybody. They’re coming off a 13-point win over the Hawks, and recently pulled off a huge road upset over the Nets. Marcus Morris Sr has really been impressive.
The Nuggets just don’t have much around Nikola Jokic with Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr both out, so their offense sometimes has a really low floor. Twice in their past six games they’ve failed to even get to 90 points. Don’t give Denver much credit for beating the Thunder and the Kings in their two most recent games. Even in that win over OKC they couldn’t get to 100.
