We successfully cashed our NBA mega parlay last night at +595 odds, our 3rd parlay winner on the NBA in the past 11 days. Friday brings us another 10-game slate as we head into the weekend. On the heels of last night’s success, I’ll be looking to land back-to-back winners. You can also read our NBA predictions for tonight’s game picks, but for now, let’s get into today’s NBA mega parlay.

Cavaliers +5.5 (-110)

Raptors ML (+310)

Grizzlies +7 (-112)

NBA parlay odds: +1381

Cleveland Cavaliers +5.5 over Milwaukee Bucks (-110)

Starting us off are the Cavaliers, who are looking to stay hot at home against the Milwaukee Bucks. Cleveland has won 5 of their last 6 games, despite not having Donovan Mitchell in their last 4 outings. This team has shown a lot of character with a couple of really big pieces missing and we just saw them beat a strong Dallas Mavericks team on the road 113-110. They’re always extra motivated to play division rivals and right now the Cavs are on a run of 11 wins in 13 games against Central Division opponents.

The last 2 head-to-head meetings have both gone the Cavs’ way, with each game being played at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Another strong indicator here is their ATS record of 4-1 in the last 5 home games vs Milwaukee. Combine all that with the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo might not even play due to a calf injury, I feel like the Cavaliers will be able to keep things close.

Toronto Raptors ML over Boston Celtics (+310)

I really like the Raptors in this spot, primarily because the Celtics just played a tough OT game last night against the Detroit Pistons. Boston was down by as many as 21 points in that game, and coming back from that and winning has probably taken a toll on them. Both Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are listed on the injury report as game-time decisions and I believe at least one of them will sit this one out.

Toronto is coming off a 30-point win against the Washington Wizards. We’ve seen them take a different approach in that game with Dennis Schroder coming off the bench. Every single player that touched the floor scored for them and as a unit, Toronto finished with a season-high 43 assists. Although Boston is undefeated at home this season and 8-2 SU in the last 10 meetings, the most recent one was decided by just 3 points, so I think the Raptors are more than capable of pulling out a big win here.

Memphis Grizzlies +7 over Los Angeles Clippers (-112)

The rejuvenated Memphis Grizzlies take their act on the road as they try to stay undefeated since Ja Morant came back, taking on the LA Clippers. These two teams have met already once this season and it was Memphis that came out on top in mid-November, despite not having Morant at their disposal. They’ll try to repeat that scenario tonight as their superstar has been ruled out with an illness.

LA could also be shorthanded here as the status of Kawhi Leonard is still up in the air. He has missed the last several games with a hip issue, without him the Clippers are just 1-2 SU. Memphis is in a good groove right now, 3 of their last 4 wins were all close games, I feel like the sense of urgency for them is a lot higher here. After starting the season 6-19 SU, every game is a must-win if they want to catch one of the play-in tournament spots. They’ve won the last 2 meetings, so let’s back them to cover as underdogs.
