The second round of the NBA playoffs is officially in full swing, and we’ve got another slate of postseason games on Wednesday with two great matchups. And what better way to celebrate than by going for a big payday? That’s right, we’re back with another mega parlay, NBA edition.
We’ve had a ton of success so far with these in the postseason, and I just hit the mega parlay again last Tuesday at +1121. That was my third time cashing it in a 9-day span. Now we’re going for our fourth hit of the playoffs. We’re going big and bold again, so let’s not waste any more time. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our free picks on the side and total for every NBA playoff game.
Boston Celtics -5.5 (-108)
Warriors vs Grizzlies over 236.5 (+540)
Parlay odds: +1132
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Boston Celtics -5.5 (-108) over Milwaukee Bucks
To start this mega parlay off we’ve got the Celtics on the spread. This series might be tied at 2-2, but in my opinion Boston has looked like the clear better team. They should’ve won Game 3 and only lost by two points on the road because both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown had terrible shooting nights. And they’ve done a great job defensively. Giannis Antetokounmpo is getting virtually no help, and the Bucks are really starting to feel the absence of Khris Middleton.
Jrue Holiday went 5/22 from the field the other night, and he’s now shooting just 33.6 percent from the floor for the series. Needless to say, that isn’t going to cut it. Even Giannis has been much less efficient than he usually is in this series due to Boston’s fantastic defense, and he’s at just 43.5 percent. Tatum has emerged as a true superstar, and this is his chance to make the biggest statement of his career in front of his home crowd. He’ll rise to the occasion.

Warriors vs Grizzlies over 236.5 (+540)
To give us the odds boost to truly make this a mega parlay, we’ve got the over on this alt total for the nightcap. We cashed a mega parlay this past week by betting an under alt total in this series, but getting better than 5/1 here has me leaning the other way. Oddsmakers have overreacted to the Ja Morant injury and have adjusted the totals too much. And this Warriors offense is so explosive that they’re the perfect team to target for an alt total.
Remember just two games ago when they dropped 142 points against Memphis? Or when they scored at least 118 in four of their five games against Denver in the first round? They also scored 128 points in two of their final three regular-season games. When Klay Thompson, Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole are all feeling it, the sky is truly the limit. Even without Morant, the Grizzlies still have more than enough offensive talent to uphold their end of the bargain.
