CHI Bulls @ MIA Heat · Point Spread
MIA Heat -4.0
Our Analysis

This match-up between the Bulls and the Heat is starting to look like a playoff series. These two teams have seen each other twice in the past 3 days, they go at it one more time tonight less than 24 hours after their clash at the Kaseya Center. The venue doesn’t change for Sunday’s game, oddly enough the road team has triumphed in all 3 meetings so far this season. Chicago escaped with a win last night thanks to 3 players scoring 20+ points, led by Ayo Dosunmu who had an efficient 29 and 9 assists. The win stopped the bleeding for Chicago who had lost 3 straight going into that game, the question is can they beat the Heat in back-to-back games?

Miami is hoping to get Norman Powell back from injury, he missed Saturday’s game due to personal reasons and the Heat offense just isn’t the same without him. With him coming back things should look substantially better, Miami is 5 games over the .500 mark in games in which Powell plays, while without him they’ve been able to win just twice in 7 games total. With 15 wins in 24 home games you could say Miami has been a reliable bet at home, they also have a 13-11 ATS record in those 24 games. This team has nurtured a run and gun style of play all year long, when the long ball starts going in early they are hard to beat.

These two play a very similar style, they’ve split the two meetings in Chicago and Miami over the past few days. Miami leads the regular season series 2-1, I think it’s time a home team finally came out on top in this match-up. As favorites the Heat are 15-9 SU this season, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and back them to cover at home.

 Chicago Bulls vs Miami Heat Predictions: Heat -4 is available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Los Angeles Clippers
Phoenix Suns
LA Clippers @ PHX Suns · Point Spread
LA Clippers -1.0
Our Analysis

The Phoenix Suns have picked up 3 straight wins, which is a great achievement since Devin Booker is still unavailable and Jalen Green has been limited while returning from injury. They will now face a Los Angeles Clippers team that has picked up 8 wins over the last 10 games. The Suns have won 2 games against them so far this season but both of those games came in November. The visitors are a completely different team now in terms of their level of play. Over the last 10 games they have ranked seventh in net offensive and defensive rating. As a result, they will feel confident they can take down a Suns team that is missing so much of its firepower.

One of the reasons that the Clippers have been so successful is that they have been incredibly efficient, ranking sixth over the last 10 games in true shooting percentage. During that stretch the Suns are just 26th in opponent second-chance points per game, so even if they can force stops the Clippers will have a great chance to clean up their misses. Ivica Zubac is among the top 10 players in the league this season in offensive rebounds per game and will be well equipped to exploit that weakness. Look for the Clippers to continue their climb up the standings here and cover the spread in the process.

Clippers vs Suns prediction: Los Angeles -1 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -2.5.

Cleveland Cavaliers
Portland Trail Blazers
CLE Cavaliers @ POR Trail Blazers · Point Spread
CLE Cavaliers -2.5
Our Analysis

The Cleveland Cavaliers kicked off a 5-game road trip in Phoenix with a 126-113 loss as -2 favorites in Phoenix on Friday. While that was a bummer, they are still 4-1 SU across the past 5 games, including a 129-99 annihilation of the visiting Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. The Cavs are also 3-1 against the spread in the past 4 games while going 4-1 ATS in the past 5 outings on the road. The Cavs won 122-111 in Portland last season, cashing as a -6.5 favorite. In fact, Cleveland is 4-0 SU/ATS in the past 4 visits to PDX since January of 2022.

The Trail Blazers are coming off a 0-3 SU/1-2 ATS road trip through the Eastern Conference, wrapping up the trip Friday with a 127-97 beatdown by the New York Knicks. The Blazers have lost 4 in a row and they’re 1-3 ATS in that span. The bad news for the Blazers is that leading scorer Deni Avdija remains questionable due to a strained lower back. With Avdija shelved, this team has looked much different — and certainly not for the better. If he plays, the Cavs are still worth a look — but if he is ruled out, go a little more aggressively on Cleveland.

Cavaliers vs Trail Blazers prediction: Cleveland -2.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -3.5.

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.

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.

The important thing to know is by putting the bets together you multiple your odds, but all bets must win for the ticket to win, lose one and you lose it all.

Yes. You can parlay certain NBA futures before and during the season, but what you can bet on and the odds available will depend on the Sportsbook. Most will accept a parlay of NBA Champion, MVP and defensive player of the year, but there are many more potential combinations you can bet on.
