We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including action from the MLS, NBA, College Basketball, and NHL.

One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1040 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.

NHL: Florida Panthers 3-way ML (-130) vs New Jersey Devils, 12:35 pm ET

Offensively there is a huge advantage to the Panthers in this game, as they arguably boast the best offense in the NHL. Even though both teams apply great pressure on offense, the Devils rank 8th in expected goals while the Panthers are 1st. The Devils also rank 18th in goals per game, with the Panthers again 1st.

Defensively, Florida comes in around average in both goals against per game and expected goals against. However, New Jersey is a borderline bottom-10 defensive unit due to its goaltending. Look for the Panthers to take advantage of the poor Devils goaltending and take them on the 3-way money line.

College Basketball: Villanova Wildcats vs Kansas Jayhawks – Under 133 points (-110), 6:09 pm ET

Villanova plays at one of the slowest tempos in the country, and their offense should be even slower and less efficient without the injured Justin Moore. Kansas has played surprisingly strong defense during the run to the Final Four as the Jayhawks are holding opponents to under 40% on 2-pointers and 25.6% on 3-pointers. The Jayhawks’ offense has struggled in the tournament, ranking just 30th in Bart Torvik’s adjusted offense and shooting below their season averages from both 2-point and 3-point range. Nerves should also play a factor, especially early, so play the under.

NBA: Brooklyn Nets vs Atlanta Hawks +2.5 (-110), 7:40 pm ET

The Hawks are the hotter team and seem to be clicking on all cylinders, having won and covered in 4 straight games. The Hawks are also 25-14 straight up at home this season and 21-18 against the spread. It’s really tough to trust the Nets, so back Atlanta, as the Hawks have got hot at the right time.

MLS: Colorado Rapids ML (-130) vs Real Salt Lake, 9:00 pm ET

Real Salt Lake has historically dominated this head-to-head matchup, but they can’t fully live in the past given the situation both clubs find themselves in. Real Salt Lake are in injury trouble and the list keeps growing. They are in fine form after 5 MLS games, but their level of play will be hard to maintain and the injuries should catch up to them at some point. The Rapids are unbeaten at home and last season they suffered just 1 defeat at home. Take the Rapids on the money line.
