The NBA season is hitting its home stretch, and we should have more thrilling action on Wednesday. The highlight is in Chicago, where the desperate Lakers take on the Bulls. We’ll be focusing on that game in this NBA mega parlay, as well as another two matchups that should feature plenty of excitement.

Los Angeles Lakers -1 (-110) over Chicago Bulls
To start off our mega parlay, we’re going to be backing the Lakers to exact a bit of revenge over the Bulls. Chicago went into Los Angeles in LeBron James’ return and knocked off the Lakers on Sunday. However, there is a clear trend in these home and home matchups this season that points me in Los Angeles’ direction on Wednesday. Teams that lose the first of these 2-game series against the same opponent tend to respond with a victory a few days later, and I expect that to continue.
The Lakers are in need of a win to keep pace in the Western Conference play-in race and Los Angeles should lean on its defense on the road. Between Anthony Davis’s excellent recent stretch and the addition of Jarred Vanderbilt, Los Angeles’ defense continues to improve — now sitting at 12th in defensive rating for the season. And while they had an excellent shooting game on Sunday, the Bulls are still 24th in offensive rating on the year and one of the worst perimeter shooting teams in the NBA for a reason. Overall, the Lakers are 12-7 straight up since February 11, so I’m confident in backing them to bounce back on Wednesday.

Brooklyn Nets -12.5 (-110) over Houston Rockets
For the second leg of our mega parlay, we’re going with the Brooklyn Nets to defeat the Houston Rockets in convincing fashion. Given the Nets’ recent struggles, this isn’t the greatest spot for Brooklyn on the surface. The Nets coaching staff is still clearly working through the kinks with how to juggle their rotations, and it has showed in recent games. However, the Rockets’ anemic defense presents a perfect get-right spot for Brooklyn on Tuesday.
Houston has been a trainwreck defensively all season, and that hasn’t changed in recent contests. The Rockets just allowed 137 points at Madison Square Garden against a Knicks team that was without Jalen Brunson and had dropped 3 straight heading into that contest. Houston is sitting at 29th in defensive rating on the season, and the Rockets’ defensive metrics only get worse away from home. I laid the double-digit number with the Knicks on Monday and I won’t hesitate to do the same with a desperate Nets team on their home floor.
Minnesota Timberwolves ML (+210) over Phoenix Suns
To close out our mega parlay, we’re going to take a shot with the Timberwolves money line on the road. Few teams in the Western Conference are playing better than Minnesota lately, and most of this recent surge was without the services of Karl-Anthony Towns in the lineup. In Towns’ first game back from an extended absence due to injury, he hit the game-winning shot from beyond the arc to knock off the Warriors on Sunday. Minnesota then followed that performance with a massive victory over the Kings in Sacramento on Monday to rise to 6th in the Western Conference standings. Yes, Kevin Durant is expected to return for Phoenix on Wednesday, but it’s unclear how many minutes he’ll be able to play. The Timberwolves present some value, so let’s add them to our parlay.
