CLE Cavaliers -1 (-110)
ATL Hawks ML (+270)
NBA Mega Parlay odds: +1248
PHI 76ers -13.5 over San Antonio Spurs (-110)
The Wembanyama vs Embiid match-up has a lot of potential and I am here for it. Wemby has been playing extremely well lately, but against the reigning MVP he might run into trouble. Embiid is averaging over 35 points per Game in his last 10 outings, he is still on pace to finish the season with more points scored than minutes played, something that hasn’t happened since Wilt Chamberlain did it back in his heyday.
No team in the NBA has had more blowout victories this season than the 76ers. They are 2nd in Net Rating with a +8.3 point differential, while in home Games they’ve covered the spread in 16 of 22 outings. They’ve also dominated this match-up with 8 wins in 9 meetings, including a 6-1 SU run in the last 7 played at Wells Fargo Center. San Antonio is coming off a win, but that was against Washington which is one of the worst teams in the NBA. It was only their 3rd win in 20 road Games, they are yet to cover the spread in 7 Games vs Atlantic Division opponents. I’m taking Philly to cover as our first Game of the Parlay.
CLE Cavaliers -1 over Orlando Magic (-110)
I’m actually puzzled as to why the Cavaliers are only 1-point favorites tonight against Orlando, but hey let’s take advantage of it while it’s there. Cleveland has won 7 in a row, their last 3 Games were wins by 21, 40 and 18 points. The absence of Darius Garland and Evan Mobley has hardly been felt, Donovan Mitchell has upped his efficiency, he’s shot over 50% from the field in 4 of his last 6 Games. Orlando is one of his favorite opponents to play, he’s scored 30+ in 3 of the last 4 meetings, while averaging 33.5 per Game during that stretch.
The Magic are coming off a win, they beat the Miami Heat last night at home 105-87. The win could come at a cost though, this team is just 2-6 SU in 8 games when playing on a 2nd night of a back-to-back. What’s even more concerning is the fact that 4 of those losses were by double-digits, so we have a pretty big sample size to know that they just don’t have the depth to compensate for when their starting five is fatigued. Cleveland is 5-1 SU in the last 6 meetings, they’ve covered in 6 of 7 overall and in 6 straight vs Eastern Conference opponents. I’d be very surprised if they didn’t get the job done here, take the Cavs as road favorites.
ATL Hawks ML over Sacramento Kings (+270)
And finally, I have the Atlanta Hawks winning a game on the road against the disappointing Sacramento Kings. A lot of people will be thrown off by the +270 odds on a road win here, but that number is only there because Trae Young isn’t playing after being placed in the concussion protocols. Atlanta is 2-1 SU in 3 games without their point-guard, each of the two wins came on the road at Detroit and Miami (3 days ago). Dejounte Murray will have to take over the keys to the offense, that’s not necessarily a bad thing at all as we’ve seen him lead a team of his own in the past.
The Kings have been a huge letdown in their last 4 games, losing to Indiana, Phoenix, Milwaukee and Philadelphia. To make matters worse they’re pretty much at full strength right now, so we cannot blame their poor form on injuries. De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis are getting their numbers, but as a unit this team is just not performing up to their capabilities. They have the 7th worst defensive rating during this stretch, teams are just exposing them on the perimeter and shooting 44.2% from downtown against them. Even a weakened Atlanta side isn’t without a chance here, so I think it’s worth backing them at this price as road underdogs.
