After a great day of basketball action yesterday, the NBA returns with a much smaller 3-game slate for Tuesday. It does however feature 6 teams which are all in the top 8 in their respective conferences and will be expecting to make noise once the playoffs begin. You can read our NBA predictions for all of Tuesday’s action. But for now, let’s get into my NBA mega parlay for today.
Nuggets ML (+138)
Suns -5 (-110)
Clippers -5.5 (-108)
NBA parlay odds: +775
Denver Nuggets ML over Philadelphia 76ers (+138)
Unlike the Denver Nuggets, the Philadelphia 76ers were in action last night, marking tonight’s game as their second of a back-to-back set. They have not been great in such scenarios so far this year, with 2 wins from 6 games. Considering that Joel Embiid is coming into this fresh off an injury, they could struggle once again. They are taking on a Nuggets team that is 7th in the league in offensive rating over the last 10 games. They have also won 2 of their last 3 meetings between these sides. Considering that the 76ers offense is stagnating of late, ranking just 20th in offensive rating, Nikola Jokic should be able to lead the Nuggets to a win against a fatigued opponent.

Phoenix Suns -4.5 over Sacramento Kings (-105)
The Phoenix Suns are gaining form. They are finally getting an extended run with Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker all in the lineup. With 7 wins from their last 10, they will look to improve on that against the Sacramento Kings here. Jusuf Nurkic should play a huge role in matching up against Domantas Sabonis. He has helped the Suns rank in the top 10 in fewest opponent 2nd-chance points per game. He also has the size and strength to really make it difficult for Sabonis in the paint. If he can limit his scoring tonight, it is hard to see how the Kings keep pace with the 3 Suns superstars. Phoenix is 6th in offensive rating over the last 10 games and should be able to do damage in this one.
Los Angeles Clippers -5.5 over Oklahoma City Thunder (-108)
The Oklahoma City Thunder suffered a loss last night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Things do not get much easier for them tonight as they take on the Clippers. The hosts are in great form too, with only the Utah Jazz having a better record over the last 10 games. The Clippers have great size that they could match up against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, with both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard able to switch on him. On the other end of the court, James Harden should be able to match his offensive production. He is averaging 9.3 assists per game over the last week and should be able to get the hosts firing. The Clippers are 2nd in offensive rating over the last 10 games. Playing against a Thunder team with tired legs should help ensure a high-scoring night for the hosts. With the difficult matchups Gilgeous-Alexander could face, expect the hosts to cover.
