The weekend is here, why not celebrate by going for a big payday? That’s right, we’re back with another NBA mega parlay, this time a four-teamer with a payout just north of 15/1 where we’re counting on the 76ers to pull off a money line upset in the slate’s biggest showdown. We’ve been rolling recently, with a couple of big NBA same game parlay wins, so why not follow it up with even more winners on Saturday?
We’re going big and bold, so let’s not waste any more time. We’re diving in, but don’t forget to check out our picks for the side and total on every NBA game.
Pelicans ML (+120)
Cavaliers ML (+225)
76ers ML (+125)
Parlay odds: +1509
Let’s break down each of the three legs one by one.
Pelicans ML (+120)
Getting the Pelicans as a home underdog here makes a lot of sense. Sure New Orleans traded J.J. Reddick, but they opted to hang onto Lonzo Ball, showing they aren’t just throwing in the towel on this season. I continue to think Dallas is a bit overrated, and they’re coming off a 15-point loss to the Pacers in their most recent game. The Pelicans have won two of three, with the one loss coming by just five points against a very good Nuggets team. The Mavs don’t have anybody who can slow down Zion Williamson defensively, and he should feast here.
Cavaliers ML (+225)
The Cavs have a lot of value here getting north of 2/1 against a mediocre Kings team. Sure it’s a back to back for Cleveland, but they just pulled off a huge upset of the Celtics on the second half of a back to back a little over a week ago, so I don’t think it’ll matter too much. The Cavs don’t get any respect from the national media, but they’re not as bad as you might think. They went into a big slump in February where they lost nine straight games, but outside of that one stretch they’ve been playing .500 ball this season. Sacramento has had a very good past week, which has caused this line to get inflated, but they’re still just 8-14 in their last 22 games.
76ers ML (+125)
To close things out in the nightcap, we’re going with a third money line with the 76ers. Philly has been absolutely on fire recently, winning 11 of their past 12 games. The one loss in that span came by just four points against the Bucks. A lot of their recent wins have been by lopsided margins, and they’ve beaten some elite teams like the Jazz, so they’re more than capable of the upset here. It’s Doc Rivers’ first time coaching against his old team since the Clippers fired him, and I think his players will be extra motivated to go and get a W for him. Los Angeles has played a pretty soft schedule recently, so I think this game will come as a shock to their system.
