NBA parlay pick: Boston Celtics -13.5 over Chicago Bulls (-114)
With 8 wins in 10 meetings, this has been a fairly one-sided affair over the years, with the Celtics dominating most games. This season, the teams are tied at 1-1 after 2 meetings, which means Wednesday’s matchup concludes the regular-season series. It’s important for the Celtics to get the win here, given their loss to the Knicks on Super Bowl Sunday. Going into the break on a high note is important not only for team confidence, but also for the East standings, where they are holding the 3rd spot at the moment.
Meanwhile, the direction of the Bulls is well known after the moves they made before the trade deadline, getting rid of Nikola Vucevic and other key players. Since then, they’ve lost 5 games in a row, with 4 of them being blowouts by double digits. They have serious issues defending the three-ball, which is the main weapon of the Celtics offense, which got them to this point of the season. I’m picking Boston to win this one easily.

NBA parlay pick: Phoenix Suns ML over OKC Thunder (+220)
For the upset of the night, we are in Phoenix, where the team with the most successful ATS record this season hosts the defending champs. Devin Booker is back for the Suns, and their offense is once again clicking on all cylinders. The same cannot be said for the Thunder, who are currently without their best player, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, without whom they’ve looked vulnerable at times. We saw them struggle for chunks of their game against the Lakers on the road, despite LA being without Luka Doncic.
The most recent meeting between the teams was won by Phoenix a little over a month ago, which ended an 8-game win streak in head-to-head games. With health on their side and a 6-3 SU record at home in the last 9 games against Oklahoma City, I feel like these odds are too good to pass up. I’m taking Booker and company on the money line.

NBA parlay pick: San Antonio Spurs -6.5 over Golden State Warriors (-114)
Losing Stephen Curry to a knee injury has been a devastating blow for the Warriors’ ambitions, as they find themselves now without 2 of their best players going into the all-star break. Curry has been ruled out for the All-Star Game as well, which means we won’t be seeing him on Wednesday against San Antonio. That’s great news for the red-hot Spurs, who have won 5 games in a row, scoring 130+ points in their last 3 games.
Victor Wembanyama just led them with 40 points and 12 boards in the win over the Lakers last night. Stephon Castle has also been playing out of his mind, having just recorded a 40-point triple-double, becoming only the 2nd player in NBA history along with Wilt Chamberlain to achieve that milestone. San Antonio has covered in 6 of 7 games at Chase Center, and they are also 6-1 ATS in 7 games against West Coast opponents. Expect the Spurs to comfortably win this one.
