Now let’s dive into my bet!
IND Pacers -7 Point Spread vs ORL Magic (-110)
GS Warriors ML vs BOS Celtics (+245)
Under 224.5 Points in Knicks vs Hawks (-110)
NBA Mega Parlay odds: +1157
IND Pacers -7 Point Spread vs ORL Magic (-110)
We start off our Parlay in Indiana where the 3-4 Pacers host the shorthanded Orlando Magic. At just 1-5 SU in away games this season, the Magic are one of the worst road teams in the NBA. They’re currently on a 4-game losing streak and struggling heavily to score the basketball, with their superstar Paolo Banchero out of the line-up. They’ve failed to crack the 100 point mark 3 times in 4 games, that’ll be problematic as they go up against the high flying Indiana Pacers here. Indy is coming off a huge win in Dallas where they beat the Mavs 134-127, it was their 2nd win in 3 games. I’m expecting the Pacers to go on a bit of a run in the coming days and weeks, this team is far better than what their record is saying right now. They’re 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games, being the healthier team here they should have very little issues covering the spread vs Orlando.
GS Warriors ML vs BOS Celtics (+245)
Golden State has been surprisingly good to start the season. Shooter Klay Thompson is now in Dallas, but the Warriors are 6-1 SUATS. Apparently, they did not get the memo that they were supposed to fade as they aged in the super-competitive Western Conference. All that success and Steph Curry is not even averaging 20 ppg. Plus, nobody is averaging even 30 mins per game. Boston is a pretty significant favorite in this spot. Since these teams met in the Finals a couple of years back they have split their regular season games, with each team winning at home. If anyone can beat these Celtics at TD Garden it’ll be Stephen Curry and his Warriors. Golden State has covered in 6 of 7 meetings and is 5-2 SU in those games. Plus, dating back to last season this team is 11-2 SU in road games overall.

Under 224.5 Points in Knicks vs Hawks (-110)
To close out the Parlay I am going for the under in the Knicks and Hawks game. The main reason is the absence of Trae Young for Atlanta, the Hawks are not even remotely the same team when he doesn’t play. Atlanta’s offense is just too dependable on his almost 30 points and 11.7 assists per game, we saw them score just 40 points in the 2nd half of their last game when Young went out with an injury. New York should put the clamps down on Atlanta, they play the slowest pace in the league this year averaging just 95.2 possessions per game. Although we have seen offensive explosions from Karl-Anthony Towns and co. in a couple of games, I am not expecting that scenario to unfold here. The last 10 meetings have averaged 223.2 points per game, all things considered that should land us just under the total.
