Sacramento Kings
Indiana Pacers
SAC Kings @ IND Pacers · Point Spread
IND Pacers -5.5
Our Analysis

With 8 games remaining the play-in tournament hopes of the Sacramento Kings are hanging by a thread, but only because the Phoenix Suns aren’t able to take advantage of their struggles. Sacramento has lost 7 of 10 games, including 5 in a row on the road and unless they can turn things around they could very well end up outside the 10th spot. Chemistry issues have plagued this team ever since they acquired Zach LaVine, his pairing with DeMar DeRozan has just not worked out similarly to when they were teammates in Chicago. Sacramento has the 29th ranked defense over the past 10 games, with the return of Domantas Sabonis some of their issues will get fixed, but it will take a total team effort to turn things around.

The Pacers don’t have issues like that. They rank 11th on defense in the past 10 games, which is a major reason why they’ve gone 7-3 SU during that stretch. They just lost by double-digits to OKC on the road, most teams do so there’s really no shame in that. Pascal Siakam and Tyrese Haliburton have put up really solid numbers, this team looks destined to finish 4th in the East unless a major collapse happens. Indiana is 8-1 SU in 9 home games, they’ve covered the spread in 10 of 11 games vs Pacific Division opponents. Bennedict Mathurin is their only injury concern right now, but even if he isn’t able to go they have a deep bench which can compensate for his absence. Indiana won the first meeting fairly comfortably 122-95 back in late December. Sacramento has a lot of issues right now, plus I’m expecting to see a highly motivated Tyrese Haliburton as he faces his old team. Give me the Pacers to cover.

Kings vs Pacers prediction: Indiana -5.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Los Angeles Clippers
Orlando Magic
LA Clippers @ ORL Magic · Point Spread
ORL Magic +3
Our Analysis

The Los Angeles Clippers will be playing the second game of a back-to-back situation when they visit the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Kawhi Leonard sat out Sunday’s loss at Cleveland, but tired legs could be a factor for everyone else. This will also be the Clippers’ third game in the span of 4 nights. That is part of the reason why my Clippers vs Magic pick is for the home team to cover a +3 spread. Even under normal circumstances with full rest, Los Angeles stinks on the road. It is 17-21 away from home compared to 25-11 inside Crypto.com Arena.

Now the Clippers have to face an Orlando squad that has won 4 of its last 5 games. Just like his former Duke Blue Devils, Paolo Banchero is balling right now. The former #1 overall pick (2022) has led his team in scoring 12 times in the last 13 outings, with 8 performances of at least 30 points during this stretch — including 2 with more than 40 points. Orlando last played on Saturday, when it humiliated the visiting Kings by 30 points. Playing at home on more rest, the Magic definitely have the value today as +3 underdogs. They have a good chance to win this one outright.

Clippers vs Magic prediction: Orlando +3 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to +1.5.

Chicago Bulls
Oklahoma City Thunder
CHI Bulls @ OKC Thunder · Game Totals
Over 238.5
Our Analysis

The Chicago Bulls have been involved in high-scoring games of late. Out of their last 6 games, 5 have reached at least 239 points with the other game reaching a combined 236. A major reason for that is over the last 10 games they are third in the league in pace and just 24th in defensive rating. They will be visiting a Oklahoma City Thunder team that has pushed the tempo themselves, ranking 8th in pace during that stretch. Considering that they are 4th in offensive rating, too, they will be well positioned to take full advantage of the increased number of possessions.

The visiting Bulls could see plenty of success from the perimeter in this one. Over the last 10 games they have ranked second in the league in 3-point attempts per game while the Thunder have been 23rd in opponent 3-point percentage. The hosts are 5th in 3-point makes per game during that stretch which should turn this into a shootout. The visitors also lead the league in fast break points per game over the last 10, which should further help rack up the points tonight. With the hosts 5th in second chance points per game and the Bulls ranking 21st in points given up in that category through the last 10 games, the home side should have their own way of helping inflate tonight’s scoring numbers. I’m backing the over as a result.

Bulls vs Thunder prediction: Over 238.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 239.5.

What Is An NBA Parlay Bet

An NBA parlay bet is a single NBA wager with multiple selections, each selection must-win for the bet to cash, but the odds of each selection are multiplied to offer much bigger odds.

You can combine a variety of NBA Picks from different markets if you choose to form an NBA parlay, from Moneyline picks to spreads and totals.

Parlays are a great way to wager on big favorites, with their odds likely small for straight wagers, you would have to stake a lot to win a little. By combining the selections into a parlay your stake rolls onto each selection, the only catch being they all must-win for the ticket to cash, one loser, the entire bet is lost.

On fixed NBA Odds markets such as spreads and totals where each selection will be priced around -110, a three-team parlay will pay around +600, so your $100 stake will see you profit $600 plus your $100 stake, $700 in total, with a four-team parlay paying around +1200, returning a total $1300 for your $100 stake.

How To Win An NBA Parlay Bet

NBA Parlay bets, despite their popularity, can be tricky to land with upsets commonplace in the NBA and just one wrong selection losing your parlay. So checking our NBA Predictions and NBA Best Bets when considering your selections is always a good idea.

With that in mind, you must be selective with your NBA picks and parlays, and here are a few tips to consider when trying to win an NBA parlay bet.

  1. Keep to 2,3 or 4 team parlays The difficulty of winning a parlay increases with each selection you add, and while the odds increase too, sticking to 2,3 or 4 team parlays gives you the best chance to see profit over time.
  2. Use parlays to combine multiple strong favorites – If you like the Celtics to beat the Hornets but their Moneyline odds are -250, you may not want to risk $250 to win a profit of $100. Instead, you can add a couple of other strong favorites, say for example the Nuggets and Mavericks are also -250, a 3-team parlay on these would pay around +175 and $175 profit from a $100 wager.
  3. Shop around for odds – Not all online sportsbooks have the same odds, and while there is often only a marginal difference, if you can wager three picks at -200 each instead of -250, your payout would be $337.50 instead of $274.40 to a $100 stake.
  4. Manage your bankroll  Being disciplined with your bankroll is key to making a profit across an NBA season. If you keep your stake consistent on NBA parlay bets, with 3-team parlays at odds of around +600, you only need to win 1 in 7 parlays to break even, any better than that is profit.

How To Bet On NBA Picks And Parlays

Betting on NBA parlay picks is a simple process with any of the top online sportsbooks. To place a wager on an NBA parlay, simply click basketball and then NBA where you’ll find the upcoming matches, add all of the parlay selections to the bet slip and then click the parlay option on the bet slip, enter your stake and click place bet and you’re on.

The Betslip will automatically calculate your parlay odds and potential payout so you don’t need to calculate those yourself.

Expert NBA Teaser Predictions

NBA teasers are one of the few sports where these types of bets are utilized besides pro and college football. The most common points available in NBA teasers are 4, 4.5, and 5 with some books offering 7 points. You can apply these points on anywhere from 2 to 14 games, with each bet you add the payout odds increase. Of course, for an NBA teaser to be graded a win, each team on the ticket must be graded a win.

What Is An NBA Same Game Parlay

An NBA Same Game Parlay is the same as a regular NBA parlay, a multi-selection single bet, the difference being, the NBA Same Game Parlay sees all of the selections come from one specific game rather than a selection from various different games.

The obvious positive of an NBA Same Game Parlay is that by combining multiple picks you can shoot for a bigger win on the game your team is playing in, the game you feel most confident predicting, or the game you’re watching. Whatever the reason, an NBA same game parlay adds to the excitement, the odds and the winnings.

One of the most popular NBA Same Game Parlay strategies among NBA bettors is to add correlated NBA Prop Bets. Correlated prop bets are when the outcome of one prop will directly affect the outcome of another. For example, you may spot that over the last 10 games no team in the NBA has shot more three-pointers than the Celtics, who now face the Sacramento Kings who allow 40% of their opponent’s 3-pointers to drop. In this instance, you might look to parlay the Celtics to win, as well as Jason Taytum and Jaylen Brown to hit 3+ threes. By identifying a team you like to win and why you like them to win, you can correlate plays with that betting angle and get great NBA Same Game Parlay Odds.

You can also keep it even more simple and back the Lakers to win because LeBron James has a great matchup, a parlay of Lakers to win, LeBron James Triple Double, and Total Points over 220 for example. If the Lakers win there is a good chance LeBron has had a great game, and if he does, the points will be racking up. With all of these picks linked to one another, you’re correlating your NBA parlay picks to better your chances of cashing your ticket.

As with any type of Parlay wager, the more selections you add to your NBA Same Game Parlay, the more difficult it is to win, but the more the odds will increase. It’s a fine line between shooting for the stars and trying to seek out value in an NBA Parlay so adding 3 or 4 picks is usually a more realistic option than 7 or 8 picks in one parlay.

How Do I Bet On An NBA Same Game Parlay

FanDuel was the first to champion the Same Game Parlay in the US market, offering them on every NFL game each week and since expanding into other sports such as NBA. The NBA Same Game Parlay has become an increasingly popular bet type as you can have a bet solely based on the game you’re watching or the team you support, and with a chance of hitting a big win for smaller stakes. With the growing popularity, NBA same game parlays are now available at other sportsbooks such as BetMGM and Bet365 under the names One Game Parlay. Different name, same concept.

To bet on an NBA Same Game Parlay, simply head to FanDuel Sportsbook or BetMGM.

Each selection you click will be added to your bet slip on the right side of the page, with the Same Game Parlay odds updated every time you add a pick. Once you have added all of your selections, enter the amount you wish to wager and hit ‘place bet’. And that’s it, you’re on!

NBA Parlay FAQs

A basketball parlay is a combination of multiple NBA bets on one ticket. You could have multiple selections for winning teams, team or player prop bets or a combination of these.
