We have a big slate in the NBA today, with a bunch of interesting games. And what better way to celebrate than by going for a big payday on Wednesday? That’s right; we’re back with another mega parlay, NBA edition.
I’ve hit a few of these recently, so hopefully we can keep it going. 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.
Charlotte Hornets ML (+162)
Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+530)
Parlay odds: +1550
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Charlotte Hornets ML (+162) over Boston Celtics
To start this mega parlay off I’ve got the Hornets. I don’t think people are giving Charlotte enough credit. They’ve managed to exceed all expectations and start 28-23 despite playing 29 of their 51 first games on the road. No other team in the league has played more games away from home. These teams just played in Boston a couple of weeks ago, and the Hornets won by nine.
Miles Bridges is playing at a really high level, and he’s scored at least 17 points in 14 straight games. On the flip side, Boston isn’t anything to be afraid of. The Celtics just beat up on the Heat, but they were missing both Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry in that game. Right before that, the Celtics had been really shaky.
Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+530) over Dallas Mavericks
I’m taking the Thunder to wrap up this mega parlay. Call me crazy if you want, but getting better than 5/1 with OKC is too good to pass up. As the Mavericks have demonstrated time and time again, they have a very low floor at times. I mean in their most recent game, the Mavs managed to lose to an 11-40 Magic team despite Luka Doncic dropping 34 points on 13/22 shooting.
In the 10 minutes that Doncic was on the bench, Dallas lost to Orlando by 13. With the recent injury to Tim Hardaway Jr and Kristaps Porzingis not yet cleared to return from his knee injury, there just isn’t enough around Doncic right now. The Thunder have some injuries of their own, but they just beat Portland by 17 in their most recent game. OKC’s last two losses have come by a combined four points and they’ve shown a lot of fight this year.
