We are in between rounds of the NFL playoffs, so the NBA has center stage at the moment. A jam-packed week in the association continues with a 7-game slate on Wednesday, highlighted by a doubleheader on TNT that begins with Boston visiting Miami at 7:00 pm ET before the Lakers and Clippers tip off at 10:00 pm ET. The Cavaliers, Knicks, Nuggets, Mavericks and Suns are also taking the court.
Here is a look at Tuesday’s mega parlay.

For this parlay we are going with 2 underdogs on the money line and a favorite against the spread. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.
The Cavaliers are 29-19 overall, but they are just 4-5 in their last 9 contests. Beginning a 3-game road trip in New York isn’t an easy task as they try to get back on track. Donovan Mitchell was held to 14 and 11 points in his last 2 outings and then he missed 3 games in succession due to a groin injury. Mitchell is expected to return on Tuesday, but he may not be 100% and at the very least he will be rusty. The Knicks aren’t playing good ball, but they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 against opponents with winning percentages over .600 and the Cavs are 4-12-2 ATS in their last 18 on the road. Although the Knicks +2.5 is a slightly safer play, I don’t think they will even need the points.

The Mavericks are slumping and the Wizards have won 2 in a row, so why should Dallas be expected to win big on Tuesday? Well, Washington just traded Rui Hachimura to the Lakers and Kristaps Porzingis is out indefinitely because of a sprained ankle. Hachimura is averaging 13.0 ppg and Porzingis registers at 22.1 ppg, so that is a lot of scoring down the drain. Moreover, the Mavs are playing inside their own friendly confines and the Wizards are 10-26-2 ATS in their last 38 road games against opponents with winning home records.
Another chapter of this L.A. rivalry will be added on Tuesday. The Lakers won’t have Hachimura at their disposal since the trade just happened, but they may not need him. After all, LeBron James is in completely dominant form. The 38-year-old averaged 31.2 ppg in December and now he is pouring in 33.8 ppg in January. He has led the Lakers to back-to-back victories over Memphis (122-21 at home) and Portland (121-112 on the road). They trailed the Trail Blazers by 25 points at halftime before storming back on Sunday. That gives LeBron and company a ton of momentum heading into this showdown, so don’t be surprised if an upset is in the cards.
