The NBA is approaching the home stretch and we’ve got a small but interesting slate on Tuesday with 4 games to pore over. 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’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.
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
To start this mega parlay off we’ve got the Warriors on the spread. Don’t overreact to Golden State’s last couple of games, which have both been disappointments. Right before losses to the Spurs and Celtics they had won 4 in a row, with each of those wins coming by double digits. One of them was by 13 against the Bucks, and one was by 11 on the road against the Nuggets. In fact, 7 of their past 8 wins have come by at least 11 points, so I’m never too worried about laying this many points with them.
When these teams played at Golden State earlier this season, the Warriors won by 31. Orlando did pick up a win over the Thunder in their most recent game, albeit while scoring only 90 points. In their two games before that, they had lost by 14 to the Pistons and by 42 to the Nets.

I’ve got the Hawks in this nationally televised showdown for the next leg of our parlay. This is more a fade of New York than it is an endorsement of Atlanta. The Knicks have been an absolute mess the past couple of months, and they’re coming off a lopsided loss to the Jazz where they only scored 93 points. Donovan Mitchell gave them 36 in that one, and it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw something similar from Trae Young here.
Young has dropped 45+ in 2 of his past 4 games, and obviously he’s had this return trip to the Garden circled on his calendar for quite some time. Atlanta certainly hasn’t been perfect lately but they have won 4 of 6, which includes a 15-point win over the Grizzlies. MSG will be rocking, but that hasn’t really mattered much this year. The Knicks have virtually identical home and road records.

Never count out the Clippers. Give me Los Angeles at better than 2/1 to wrap up this mega parlay. The Clips are as resilient as they come, and they can beat any team on any night no matter who is missing from their lineup. The Nuggets haven’t been playing their best ball lately, and most of their recent wins have come against bottom-feeding teams. Denver has lost 4 of 6, most recently falling by 20 at home to Boston.
The Clips have a low floor but they also have a high ceiling, which makes them a great target when they’re a big money line ‘dog like this. Just like the Knicks, the Nuggets have virtually the same record at home as they do on the road this year, so their home-court advantage might not be what it used to be. These teams have played each other 3 times this season, and all 3 games have been decided by 3 points or fewer. This one feels like it’s going to go down to the wire as well.
