Chicago Bulls ML over Orlando Magic (+370)
Our NBA parlay picks tip off in Orlando where the Magic take on the Bulls. It’ll be their 2nd meeting of the season and the Bulls won the first one 102-99 at the start of the campaign. A lot has changed since then and the 2 teams are seemingly headed in opposite directions, but I just feel like this is a good matchup for Chicago.
As good as this Orlando defense has been, they have slipped a little when it comes to paint protection – teams are averaging 47.3 points from up close against them in the last 3 games. Furthermore, their three-point defense is mediocre at best with opponents connecting on 36% of their shots against them. Facing a team like Chicago could be problematic for Orlando, as once the Bulls get cooking from downtown it’s hard to beat them. In their last 7 games, the Bulls have scored at least 20 threes twice and 19 threes in 4 of those games. Orlando got 31 points from Paolo Banchero in that first meeting but he’s not playing here. They also got smoked in the rebounding department, so I like Chicago to give Orlando its first home loss of the season at huge odds.
LA Lakers -2.5 over San Antonio Spurs (-110)
The Lakers have hit a bit of a rough patch with 3 consecutive losses, but the good news is they have an opportunity to bounce back against the Spurs here. Victor Wembanyama has been playing extremely well, but his kryptonite is Anthony Davis. AD went for 40 and 12 in the first meeting which the Lakers won 120-115. Wemby did have 28 and 14, but he had to work hard to get to his numbers.
LA is just the more talented team here, plus they also have experience on their side. They’ve beaten the Spurs 9 times in 11 meetings in San Antonio and have won 7 of the last 8 head-to-head overall. The Spurs are in the midst of a 4-game win streak, but they wasted a ton of energy last night in Salt Lake City, scoring 128 points in a 13-point victory. I’m counting on the Lakers to bounce back here as the next leg of today’s NBA parlay.
Oklahoma City Thunder -2.5 over Golden State Warriors (-114)
We close our NBA parlay picks in San Francisco where the Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to win a 3rd game in a row as they take on the Golden State Warriors. Their last 2 wins against the Blazers and Kings were both by double-digits, which could be a sign of things to come as we get closer to December. OKC has had issues with injuries early on in the season, losing their 2 big men Isaiah Hartenstein and Chet Holmgren along with a very valuable wing defender in Alex Caruso.
Well, Hartenstein is back and is already filling up the stat sheet with back-to-back double-doubles. With his size on the interior, teams are now more hesitant to attack the basket against OKC, which adds another dimension to an already elite defense. Golden State is struggling at the moment as they’ve just lost consecutive games at San Antonio and against the Nets. Steph Curry and Jonathan Kuminga are both on the injury report as questionable here and losing either one of them would be a massive blow to the Warriors’ ambitions. Losing that first meeting of the season really hurt the Thunder so I believe they’ll be extra motivated to bounce back in style here.
