The final day of the NBA regular season is upon us with all 30 teams in action on Sunday, April 9 giving us a bonanza of NBA parlay options. And right now I’m feeling good since last weekend was delightful cashing a three-team parlay. It’s at times like this that you don’t want the season to end. The winning ticket didn’t make up for the many weeks of losses, but it sure helps. I... 

Well, the betting gods met me at the front door after I hit a three-team NBA parlay a few weeks ago. I haven’t come close to replicating that and I’m running out of time with the regular season concluding this weekend. You have to consider how teams locked into a playoff spot are going to handle the remaining few games. Will they rest players ahead of the postseason or keep them ... 

After what we saw on Sunday night, it might be best to back off of big favorites for a while. For the first time in over three decades, two teams that were underdogs of 15 points or more by the NBA betting odds won outright. The San Antonio Spurs knocked off the Sacramento Kings in overtime as a 16-point underdog, and the Portland Trail Blazers edged the Minnesota Timberwolves de... 

If you went against my picks last week you’d still having a losing parlay card, but at least the record would better. That’s a small consolation since all bets on a single ticket have to win. I lost all my winnings from the successful three-team parlay a few weeks ago so I guess it’s time to replenish the coffers. As we roll into the final month of the NBA regular season there is... 

Let’s just say I wasn’t at my best last week with the NBA parlay picks. On my six total wagers I won just twice and needless to say that won’t get it done. It’s hard enough winning a single NBA wager let alone a multi-team parlay, but when it happens it’s worth it since sportsbooks offer sweet odds. There is time remaining on the NBA slate to pick up the pace and hit another winn... 

It was nice to hit another NBA Parlay over the weekend as both the Atlanta Hawks and Denver Nuggets won at home by double digits. Atlanta gave us a little scare as the Hawks didn’t cover the NBA betting line by much despite scoring 143 points in their win over the Indiana Pacers. However, Denver represented no such worries as the Nuggets cruised to a big win against the Milwaukee... 

I guess it’s a good thing I hit a three-team NBA parlay a little bit ago because my picks have failed to connect recently. We still have a few weeks left in the regular season providing more opportunities to cash that winning ticket with a good slate of games to choose from on Sunday, March 26. Now, to be clear I failed in that I didn’t hit a multi-team parlay and as you know all... 

I managed to hit the first leg of my NBA Parlay for Wednesday, but I came up a little short on the back end. The Philadelphia 76ers continue to beat down any non-elite team, and they hammered the Chicago Bulls 116-91 last night. Philadelphia started the game on a 17-0 run and never looked back, as the Sixers were up by 28 points at halftime. That led to Joel Embiid playing just 1... 

The follow up to my three-team winner wasn’t as successful proving again that winning a multi-wager NBA parlay isn’t easy. But when that ticket does hit, it’s well worth it since sportsbooks offer attractive odds. I didn’t come close to winning, which is better than suffering a bad beat to ruin your ticket, I guess. Atlanta and Golden State scored a lot of points in last Friday’s... 

Every team in the NBA has now played at least 70 games, so the playoff picture is becoming a little more settled than it was at this time last week. The Portland Trail Blazers are now virtually out of contention after losing six straight games, making the postseason race in the Western Conference a little less crowded. However, just four games continue to separate the No. 4 seed ... 

I followed up my three-team parlay winner last Friday with a dud on Sunday winning only one of three wagers, once again proving how difficult it is to hit a multi-team winner. And that’s why sportsbooks offer attractive odds on parlays. That doesn’t prevent me from continuing my quest to back another winner and the slate of games on the NBA schedule for Sunday, March 19 offers plenty of betting options. Last week I backed Denver in a matchup with the Brooklyn Nets expecting the Western Conference leaders to continue their homecourt dominance. It was an informed enough wager that looked like a solid one at the time since the Nuggets have the best home record in the NBA. Not only did they fail to cover the 9-point spread the Nuggets lost the game. Denver also lost two nights later at Toronto starting their 5-game Eastern Conference road trip with a fourth straight setback and five consecutive ATS losses. I’m still not sure about Brooklyn after their roster transformation so I’ll stay away from the rematch. It’s a good thing there are plenty of other games. ... 

It’s getting pretty frustrating to go 1-1 with my NBA Parlay Picks. The Sacramento Kings went on the road and took care of business against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night. De’Aaron Fox came up big in the closing minutes, but the Kings had taken a lead into the fourth quarter. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers failed to cover the number against the Philadelphia 76ers. Joel Emb... 

It’s all worthwhile when you hit a multi-team parlay like I did last week earning almost $600 on a $100 investment. I’ll try and continue the heater on Friday with a good slate of NBA games to pick from. I started out backing the Lakers at home against Toronto. Catching 3-points on the closing line LA won outright 122-112. I also took the OVER in Denver’s matchup with San Antonio... 

The New Orleans Pelicans let us down over the weekend. New Orleans could have moved into playoff position with a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but instead they lost by 14 points. The Western Conference is an absolute mess with a month to play in the regular season now as six teams are either 34-34 or 33-35 as of Monday morning. It’s very likely that the Denver Nuggets end up with the No. 1 overall seed in the West, but everything else is a crapshoot at the moment.... 

Despite losing to Charlotte on Tuesday night, the New York Knicks are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Prior to that setback the Knickerbockers had won nine games in a row and 11 of their last 12 while going 10-1-1 ATS in that span catapulting up the Eastern Conference standings. So, are they a lock to take down the Lakers on Sunday? The last game on the March 12 schedule is ... 

It’s not easy to hit NBA parlays, and I’m still looking to claim my first win after the All-Star Break. I went 1-1 on my Wednesday night Parlay, hitting with the Cleveland Cavaliers but missing with the Toronto Raptors. Hopefully, I can finally cash one of these over the weekend as there is a rather big slate to choose from with ten games on the schedule. ... 

It’s a light Friday night slate on the NBA calendar, but that doesn’t mean we can’t hit a winner on an NBA parlay. It’s not easy hitting a multi-team winner, which is why sportsbooks offer attractive odds and paying close attention to what’s happening in the Association can help us cash that winning ticket. I hit two winners on last week’s three-team parlay getting handed a losin... 

Unfortunately, I missed on another parlay over the weekend. I was right in that the Los Angeles Clippers would break their losing streak against the Memphis Grizzlies, and the NBA betting odds substantially moved in our favor the day before the game due to the suspensions of Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks. However, the Clips nearly lost this game too as the Grizzlies had a 51-point ... 

Unfortunately, I didn’t hit either leg of my parlay for Wednesday. To be fair, I didn’t realize that Oklahoma City superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander would be out, but that’s the rub when you are betting NBA parlays a few days in advance. It looks as if the Thunder may be secretly tanking given the race in the Western Conference and the fact that they are a year away anyway due to... 

Winning a single bet in the NBA is hard to do since we don’t know which players sit out for ‘load management’ reasons. And with so many games condensed into a short time frame players dealing with nagging ailments sometimes aren’t at their best. But tracking the right information will certainly help our chances. It’s harder to put together multiple winners on a single parlay card as a result sportsbooks offer attractive odds. That doesn’t mean you can’t hit a multi-team parlay, but a lot has to go right in order to do that. There is a nice slate of games on the Friday, March 3 schedule including an ESPN doubleheader featuring four of the top teams in the Association. Go big or go home as they say. Let’s have a look at NBA parlay for Saturday, March 4. ...

It isn’t easy to win parlays, but that’s why they pay so well. The feeling you get when you cash a parlay hits different than the feeling that you get when you win a regular bet because at least two things have to go your way to win a parlay. The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward with parlays, and that is both the allure and the rub. Keep that in mind when you are considering adding that one extra leg that you aren’t 100% sure about when you are looking at NBA parlays for Wednesday, March 1. ... 

The first two games on Sunday afternoon will be two of the most interesting games on the day. Everyone will be excited for the first game as it’s a nationally televised affair between two potential NBA Finals teams. The Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks met in the 2021 NBA Finals with the Bucks winning the series 4-2 after the Suns won the first two games. Phoenix is just four gam... 

With the trade deadline having passed and the All-Star festivities concluded, it’s back to work for teams fighting for a playoff spot and/or positioning. That means games take on added importance as we have only about six weeks left in the regular season. Surprisingly more than half the teams in the league have Saturday off leaving us fewer betting options on our NBA parlay picks. Despite that we have some intriguing matchups that give us a great chance at cashing a winning ticket. The biggest game on the docket features the league-leading Boston Celtics visiting Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers in a battle of Eastern Conference powerhouses. The game is likely to take in a big haul at the betting window and those who wager can watch how they do with the game nationally televised on ABC in primetime. Not to be outdone the Western Conference has an intense game with No. 1 seeded Denver visiting No. 2 seed Memphis. At this point it appears to be a two-team race and the Nuggets can further separate themselves with a win. The Nuggets have a 5-game bulge over the Griz with third-place Sacramento eight games back. Before we throw down on a NBA parlay for February 25 we need to know the rest of what other teams are playing. ... 

The unofficial second half of the NBA season starts Thursday with the rest of the league in action Friday, February 24 giving bettors the opportunity to get back in the swing of things. We saw a flurry of activity around the trade deadline and teams are set for a final push to the end of the regular season with a little over 20 games remaining for most clubs. The races in both co...
