The weekend is almost here, but before that we have another spectacular night of hoops in the NBA. A total of 8 games are on offer and I’ve prepared a mega parlay that includes 3 of them.

Head over to our NBA predictions for picks on the spread and total for tonight’s slate, but let’s jump straight into my parlay now.

Atlanta Hawks -2 (-110)

Washington Wizards ML (+190)

Boston Celtics -4 (-112)

Atlanta Hawks -2 (-110) over Golden State Warriors

With just 12 games left, there’s very little time for the defending champions to turn around their road woes. They’re 7-27 SU heading into tonight’s game against Atlanta, which is the 3rd-worst road record in the NBA this season. They’ve failed to cover the spread in 9 straight road games, and there’s a possibility they might be without Stephen Curry tonight as he’s questionable with a thumb injury. Draymond Green is already out due to a suspension, while Andre Iguodala, Gary Payton II and Andrew Wiggins are all out with injuries or due to personal reasons. All the numbers are pointing in Atlanta’s favor. They’re 4-1 ATS in their last 5 against Golden State at home and they’ve also beaten 10 of their last 14 Pacific Division opponents and are undefeated in their last 6 games played on a Friday. There are no injury concerns for new head coach Quinn Snyder, so I’m expecting big things from the Hawks.

Washington Wizards ML (+190) over Cleveland Cavaliers

The Wizards are clinging onto 10th place in the standings by a half-game margin over the Pacers and Bulls. There is some good news on the injury front ahead of this game, though, as Kyle Kuzma is expected to return. Washington’s road form is quite possibly their only bright spot since 2023 started. The Wizards are 9-4 SU in their last 13 away from home, so even though they’re down 2-0 in the regular-season series, they have a chance. The Cavs have lost all hope of catching the 76ers who are ahead of them in the standings after getting beaten a couple of days ago. One big issue that might arise tonight will be the absence of Jarrett Allen who is out with an eye injury. He is the team’s 4th-leading scorer and rebounding leader, so losing him would be a big blow. A win here would mean a lot more to the Wizards than the Cavaliers realistically. Most of the numbers are in favor of the Cavs, but something tells me Washington won’t go away easily. I’ll back them to win on the road.

Boston Celtics -4 (-112) over Portland Trail Blazers

Finally, I have the Celtics covering as 4-point favorites on the road at Moda Center. They beat the Blazers by double digits at home a little over a week ago, which was their 5th win in the last 7 meetings between the teams. The Cs have come out on top in 3 of their last 4 games, with Jaylen Brown going on a scoring tear over his last 2 games. Jayson Tatum has a slight injury to his hip, which has him questionable here, but even if he doesn’t play they should still take care of business. Portland is on a 4-game losing streak with leading scorer Damian Lillard bothered by a minor calf injury. Jerami Grant is also questionable with a quad issue, while Justise Winslow continues to miss games. Portland’s record against Atlantic Division teams is a disaster as they’re on a 7-game losing streak. Against East teams they have just 2 wins in 9 outings, so I don’t really see them posing much of a threat for the Celtics and I will back the road team to cover.
