In the last 4 days we’ve landed the NBA parlay twice and the NBA mega parlay once, and I think it’s time for us to add to that! I’ve gone in-depth with all 3 games and come up with my 3 favorite bets, so let’s dive in with my mega parlay at over 31/1!

Detailed predictions on the Spread and Total for all 3 games are available on the website, but without wasting any more time let’s get into it.

New York Knicks -3 (-110)

Dallas Mavericks ML (+124)

Indiana Pacers ML (+660)

Parlay odds: +3150

New York Knicks -3 (-110)

I’m starting off this mega parlay with the Knicks, who have covered in 6 of their last 7 home games and have beaten Southwest Division teams in 13 games in a row. The Pelicans have lost 3 of their last 5 games, and enter tonight’s game on a 2-game road losing streak while losing by an average margin of 13.5 ppg in that span. New York has already beaten the Pelicans once this season, 123-117 in New Orleans. In that game, they made 19 threes and shot 57% from beyond the arc. New York has also won their last 3 games against the Pelicans by an average margin of 8.7 ppg to cover tonight’s spread.

Dallas Mavericks ML (+124)

Next up, we have Dallas. Both the Mavericks and the Suns have been in fine form lately, but I’m giving the Mavs the edge here only because they are playing at home. They’ve covered in 6 of their last 9 games overall, plus they have a 14-8 record at home this season. Luka Doncic just put on a show vs the Raptors last night by scoring 41 points to lead the Mavs to a win, he will look to translate that into another big game vs Phoenix. The Mavs have covered in 4 of 5 games vs Pacific Division opponents, although it won’t be easy tonight I think they have what it takes to knock of the best team in the West.

Indiana Pacers ML (+660)

Finally, we have the Indiana Pacers who are coming off a surprising win over the Lakers in a game in which they were 4.5-point underdogs. It was only their second win in 12 games, however against the Warriors they are a bit better with 4 wins and 6 losses over the past 10 meetings. They’ve also covered in 4 of their last 6 visits to Chase Center, and against Western Conference teams they are a surprising 12-4 ATS in the last 16 games.

Golden State did manage to cover against Detroit last time out, but they are just 3-6 ATS in their last 9 games. Tonight they’ll once again be without Draymond Green who continues to recover from a calf injury. Although Klay Thompson had 21 points against the Pistons, he is still working his way into the offense, and hopefully that’s an opportunity the Pacers can take advantage of here.
