It was a winning ending to the week last night with our +701 NBA mega parlay cashing, now we are hoping to start off the new week with yet another winner. A total of 16 teams are in action this Monday, and my parlay includes 2 picks on the money line and 1 team to cover the spread. Be sure to check our NBA predictions page for picks on the side and total for Monday’s 8-game slate, but without wasting any more time, let’s jump straight into this NBA mega parlay.
Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+205)
Miami Heat ML (+120)
Golden State Warriors -10.5 (-108)
Parlay odds: +1192
Oklahoma City Thunder ML over Atlanta Hawks (+205)
With 2 wins on the bounce and 3 in their last 5 games, the Thunder are in good shape heading into Atlanta. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on a run of 6 straight 30-point games and he’ll be a handful for the likes of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray as they try to slow him down here. In their last 18 visits to State Farm Arena, OKC has covered the spread a total of 13 times, so there is optimism ahead of tonight’s game.
Atlanta has a few injury worries with Justin Holiday, John Collins, De’Andre Hunter and Trent Forrest all out for tonight’s game, while Young is questionable with a shoulder problem. Young has struggled a lot with shooting this season, you never want to hear a shoot-first player have issues with his shoulder. OKC has 2 wins in a row, SGA is playing at an All-Star level, and I think the Thunder have enough to pull off the upset.

Miami Heat ML over Memphis Grizzlies (+120)
Another team I like as road underdogs tonight are the Miami Heat. They just got Jimmy Butler back from injury, and it resulted in an impressive 4-point OT win at TD Garden over the best team in the East the Boston Celtics. The win was their 4th in the last 5 outings, they are slowly starting to heat up here (pun intended). The Grizzlies have one of the league’s most lethal backcourts with Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, but the injury to Bane shook up their lineup and was expected to be a huge blow.
The Heat have the 11th-best defensive rating and just cracked the top 10 in terms of opponent points per game, but perhaps their biggest strength is defending the paint where they give up the fewest points per game at 44.9. Memphis relies on a ton of their points to come on the interior, Miami’s length and disruptiveness down low should give them a lot of trouble here. I’ll be taking the visitors to grab the win here.

Golden State Warriors -10.5 over Indiana Pacers (-108)
And finally, to wrap things up I have the Warriors covering against the injury-depleted Indiana Pacers. After taking the night off against the Rockets, Klay Thompson should return to the starting lineup for Golden State, and he could be in line for a big game here as Indiana is really struggling to defend opposing wings lately. The Warriors have been almost invincible at home this season with 11 wins in 12 games played. They are also 7-0 ATS in their last 7 at Chase Center.
Even though the spread is at double-digits here, it’s hard to imagine Indiana standing much of a chance without their main point guard Tyrese Haliburton and his replacement T.J. McConnell. They were just destroyed by the Portland Trail Blazers 114-100 last night. Golden State’s last 3 of 4 wins were by more than 10 points, and I’m backing them to cover at home here.
