Since I unfortunately never had LeBron James' jumping ability I wasn't able to make it to the NBA, and chose writing about sports as the next best thing. An avid sports bettor myself, I'm excited to get to write about the industry as it gets set to take off across the country. Buckle up.

We have a small slate in the NBA today, with only three games. But there are still plenty of opportunities for value. And what better way to celebrate the weekend than by going for a big payday on Saturday? That’s right; we’re back with another mega parlay, NBA edition.

I think it’s safe to say we’re on a roll with these right now. In fact, I’ve cashed this NBA mega parlay two of the last five times I’ve written it. First I hit it at +1157 last Friday, and then I hit it on Sunday night at +1048. Now we’re going for three of eight overall here at Pickswise (we didn’t have one on Tuesday). I also came up just a few points shy of hitting it at +1850 last night.

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 game today.

Sacramento Kings ML (+245)

Cleveland Cavaliers -12 (-110)

Phoenix Suns -11.5 (-110)

Parlay odds: +1157

Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.

Sacramento Kings ML (+245) over Milwaukee Bucks

The Kings over the Bucks to start off this parlay? Yeah, you read that right. Most importantly Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t going to play here, which gives Sacramento a good chance. The Bucks played last night in a physical and emotional game on national television against the Bulls that came down to the wire. Now they’re playing on the second half of a back to back in a much more low profile game without their superstar play.

This has letdown spot written all over it. Milwaukee has been prone to upsets even with Giannis in the lineup, like when they lost by nine at home to the Pistons just a couple of weeks ago. Overall the Bucks are just 4-6 in their last 10, it’s not like they’re unbeatable by any means. The Kings have shown flashes of upside over the past few weeks, like when they recently beat playoff teams like the Mavericks and Heat.

Cleveland Cavaliers -12 (-110) over Oklahoma City Thunder

It wouldn’t be a mega parlay from me if we didn’t take the Cavaliers. Cleveland has come through for us time and time again in these parlays, and they should dominate this Thunder team. The Cavs just went 6-2 on an extended road trip, even though they were completely gassed by the end. They finally got back to back days off on Thursday and Friday, so they should come out fresh and rejuvenated here.

The Thunder are just 1-9 in their last 10 games, and each of their last two losses have come by at least 22 points. Cleveland plays some of the best defense in the league, and OKC doesn’t have anyone who can score consistently outside of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Cavs shouldn’t have too much trouble winning this one by double digits.

Phoenix Suns -11.5 (-110) over Indiana Pacers

All good things must come to an end, including the Pacers’ recent mini-resurgence. That’s why I’m going with the Suns on the spread for the last leg of our mega parlay. Indiana has won back to back upsets against teams that are both struggling at the moment, but before that they hadn’t won a road game since November 22nd. Even after these two wins, the Pacers are still just 5-17 on the road this year.

They’re playing without Myles Turner, one of the only bright spots on an otherwise terrible team. And the Suns have been arguably the best team in the league this season, entering with a 35-9 record. They’ve won eight of their last nine, with the only loss in that span coming to a very good Heat team. These teams just played in Indiana last week, and Phoenix won by 18.
