Best NBA Parlay Picks Today, Friday 1/19: 3-Leg Parlay at mega +1113 odds – Celtics finally lose a home game
We have a huge Game in Boston tonight as the Celtics look to defend home court against the defending champions Denver Nuggets. I’ve made sure to include that Game in our NBA Mega Parlay, along with 2 other selections. Continue reading below to see my picks.
I would also encourage you to head over to our NBA picks page for picks on the side and total for Friday’s 7-Game slate.
Now let’s dive into my bet!
PHI 76ers -5 (-112)
DEN Nuggets ML (+194)
PHX Suns ML (+118)
NBA Mega Parlay odds: +1113
PHI 76ers -5 over Orlando Magic (-112)
We saw a very motivated Joel Embiid score 41 points and dish out 10 assists as the 76ers took down the defending champions Nuggets on Wednesday. It was their 3rd win on the bounce, they carry a lot of momentum as they head into Orlando tonight to face a team they’ve already beaten by 20 points earlier in the season. The trio of Embiid, Maxey and Harris should all be ready to play, so the Sixers shouldn’t encounter much resistance here.
After their somewhat hot start to the season due to a favorable schedule, the Orlando Magic have been below average over the last month or so. They’re just 6-12 SU in their last 18 games, on Wednesday they wrapped up a 4-game road trip where they won just 1 game, struggling to score the basketball. They’re averaging just 98 points over their last 5 games, so I’d be amazed if they kept this game close. Franz Wagner and Gary Harris are both ruled out, if Philly limits Banchero to a reasonable amount here they should be fine.
DEN Nuggets ML over Boston Celtics (+194)
Boston is currently on a franchise record setting 20-0 SU start in games played at TD Garden, but tonight’s opponent could be their biggest test so far this season. Denver needs a bounce back performance following their poor defensive showing in the 126-121 loss at Philadelphia the other day. Unlike the Sixers, Boston doesn’t have a dominant force on the inside, so maybe Denver’s gameplan can work better in tonight’s game.
They’ve won 9 of their last 11 games vs Eastern Conference opponents and are 14-5 SU in their last 19 overall. They also won the last meeting against the Celtics 123-111, I feel like there’s plenty of motivation on their end to go all out in this game. I really like Jokic’s match-up with Porzingis, the 2-time MVP has notched 3 triple-doubles in the last 5 head-to-head with Boston, so look out for his numbers in tonight’s game. I’ll gladly take the Nuggets as road underdogs in this game.
PHX Suns ML over New Orleans Pelicans (+118)
I spent a lot of time analyzing and thinking this game through, in the end I think backing Phoenix is the way to go. The Suns are finally clicking with their big 3 playing well together. They’re on a 3-game win streak, beating the Lakers on the road and the Sacramento Kings at home. In particular, the game vs Sacramento showed me just how much character this team has. The Suns mounted came back from 22-points down to win that game, Kevin Durant came up big in the clutch, people seem to forget just how good he is.
Brandon Ingram is basically a poor man’s version of KD. Phoenix’s only worry in tonight’s Game is how to stay in front of Zion Williamson, but then again that’s every single team in the NBA when facing the Pelicans. Jusuf Nurkic should match-up well with Jonas Valanciunas and Devin Booker is the better player compared to C.J. McCollum. All in all, Phoenix has done well in head-to-head meetings going 12-6 SU/ATS, so I’m picking them to come out of New Orleans with a big victory here.
