We have a 10-game slate in the NBA on Saturday, headlined by double-header on TNT. It begins with the Nets hosting the Celtics before the Bucks pay a visit to the Lakers. The Suns, Clippers, Grizzlies, and Nuggets are also in action.
Let’s take a look at today’s three-team mega parlay.
Grizzlies -9.5 alternate spread (+105)
Kings ML (+170)
Bucks vs Lakers Under 230.5 (-110)
Parlay odds: +957
For this parlay we are going with one favorite against the spread, one underdog on the money line, and an under bet.
Grizzlies -9.5 alternate spread over Clippers (+105)
For Los Angeles, game one with Norman Powell and Robert Covington did not work out as planned. At home against Milwaukee, L.A. lost by 24 and gave up 137 points. Things are not going to get much easier with a trip to Memphis. Powell came off the bench to score 28 points and Covington scored 13. Both of those guys probably deserve to start moving forward and they will need them to play well until Paul George gets back in the lineup. The Grizzlies are back home off of a 2-1 road trip. It could have been a perfect 3-0, but they lost to Philadelphia in overtime. Even though they are playing without starter Dillon Brooks, they are not missing a beat. Lately, they have been going with super skinny rookie Ziaire Williams in the starting lineup and he has been producing — 5 games in the last 8 with 10+ points. Count on Ja Morant and company maintaining their fine form.

Kings ML over Timberwolves (+170)
The Timberwolves are currently in the midst of some bizarre scheduling. This is the start of a home-and-home with the Kings, whom they will also face in Minnesota on Wednesday. Minnesota just had a home-and-home, too, as its last two games both game against the Pistons. The Kings swept that sequence, but that’s hardly a surprise given how bad Detroit is. Sacramento is nothing special, but it is a lot better than Detroit. The Kings have won two of three to end a seven-game skid in style. Tyrese Haliburton and Maurice Harkless delivered double-doubles in this past Saturday’s 113-103 win over Oklahoma City and Davion Mitchell has scored at least 15 points in six consecutive contests. The Baylor product is averaging 19.0 ppg during this stretch. Pulling off an upset at home is by no means out of the question.

Bucks vs Lakers Under 230.5 (-110)
Despite both teams being involved in some high-scoring games lately, 230.5 is a sizable total. That number hasn’t been surpassed in the last 6 meetings between these teams, plus the average amount of points scored over the last 10 games has been 218.1 per game with the under landed 8 times — including the last 6 in a row. This Lakers defense has looked a lot better with Anthony Davis back in the mix, so he should be the one to slow down Antetokounmpo. Both teams are also in the top 15 when it comes to defensive efficiency, with the Bucks ranking 10th and the Lakers being 4 spots below. Back the under with confidence.
