We have a big slate in the NBA today, with a bunch of interesting games. And what better way to celebrate than by going for a big payday on Tuesday? 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 seven times I’ve written it. First I hit it at +1157 two Fridays ago, and then I hit it the following Sunday night at +1048. I also came up just a few points shy of hitting it at +1850 on Friday 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.

New Orleans Pelicans ML (+330)

Brooklyn Nets ML (+132)

Minnesota Timberwolves ML (-148)

Parlay odds: +1571

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

New Orleans Pelicans ML (+330) over Philadelphia 76ers

Call me crazy, but I’m going with the Pelicans over the 76ers to start off this parlay. Joel Embiid is having a truly great season, but that doesn’t mean Philly has a truly great team. The 76ers have just been so-so recently, and two games ago they lost at home to a severely shorthanded Clippers team that was without Paul George. Their last two wins have been by six points against the 17-30 Spurs, and at home against the 9-39 Magic.

Right before that, they lost by 19 to the Wizards. In other words, it’s been a little while since they turned in a genuinely impressive performance. The Pelicans have played a lot better over the past couple of months after a disastrous start to the season. They’re coming off back-to-back wins, and have finally adjusted to life without Zion Williamson. New Orleans isn’t as bad as you might think.

Brooklyn Nets ML (+132) over Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers as road favorites over any team with a pulse? Yeah, no thanks, I don’t want any part of that. That’s why I’m rolling with Brooklyn as a home underdog for the next leg of this parlay. The Nets obviously won’t have Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant, but they do still have James Harden and a host of other good players. Los Angeles is getting back Anthony Davis after a long absence, but the hype around Davis’ return has really inflated this line.

The Lakers have been an absolute mess recently, only able to beat the league’s worst teams and sometimes losing to them too. Brooklyn is of course better with Irving on the floor, but they’re still a very solid team without him. Davis isn’t going to be his full self here right off the bat, and he’ll likely be significantly limited.

Minnesota Timberwolves ML (-148) over Portland Trail Blazers

To wrap this mega parlay up and hopefully bring us home, we’ve got the Timberwolves in the nightcap. Minnesota has finally found a groove now that they have Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell back in the lineup together, and they’re 7-3 in their last 10 games. Most recently they beat the Nets by double digits despite Kyrie Irving dropping 30. Portland has won a few games recently, but they still haven’t looked impressive.

Without Damian Lillard I just don’t see them keeping up with this high-flying T-Wolves offensive trio. Edwards, KAT and Russell all had at least 23 their last time out against Brooklyn. Edwards is a genuine star, and I think this team is going to surprise some people down the stretch.
