NBA Friday parlay at mega (+1321 odds) today 3/31: Jokic returns to lift the Nuggets

March comes to a close with a massive 13-game slate on a Friday in the NBA, with a few mouthwatering games coming our way. Here at Pickswise, we’ve been able to land 3 of our last 7 Parlays and with a night like this hopefully we can add to that solid run.

Check out my 3-game Parlay below, but also be sure to visit our NBA predictions page for picks on the Spread and Total for Friday’s 13-game slate.

Let’s jump straight into my Parlay.

Cleveland Cavaliers -5.5 Point Spread (-110)

Sacramento Kings -14.5 Point Spread (-110)

Denver Nuggets ML (+290)

Mega Parlay odds: +914

Cleveland Cavaliers -5.5 Point Spread (-110) over New York Knicks

The Parlay starts off in Cleveland where we have the hometown Cavs trying to even the regular season series against the shorthanded Knicks. Despite the loss in Atlanta a couple of days ago, the Cavaliers will be in good spirits ahead of tonight’s game as they have a comfortable situation in the standings. This will most likely be a preview of the 1st Round of the East playoffs as the Cavs and Knicks are locked into the 4th and 5th seeds right now. The big advantage for the Cavs here, aside from playing at home, will be the injury to Julius Randle who has twisted his ankle and won’t be available for at least 2 weeks. New York’s iron man has played in all 77 games up to this point, so it’ll be interesting to see how they cope with his absence. Last year they were just 5-5 SU in 10 games he missed, it might take a few games for them to get used to life without him and the Cavaliers should be able to beat them comfortably just because of that. Cavs are 5-1 SU in their last 6 home games, and also 4-1 SU/ATS in their last 5 overall.

Sacramento Kings -14.5 Point Spread (-110) over Portland Trail Blazers

Shutting down Damian Lillard was the final nail in the coffin of the Trail Blazers slim hopes of making it into the Western Conference play-in tournament. With Dame out of the way they’re basically waiving the white flag on a nightly basis, in 3 of their last 4 games they failed to crack the 100 points mark. These two teams just played each other 2 nights ago and the Kings routed the Blazers 120-80 at Moda Center. I don’t think a lot will change in tonight’s game, Sacramento is still very much motivated to play well and get the win here as they’re battling the Memphis Grizzlies for the 2nd seed. There are no injuries to report on their side, if the game gets out of hand early head coach Mike Brown will be able to rest a few starters. With Lillard, Jerami Grant, Jusuf Nurkic, Justise Winslow, Cam Reddish and Anfernee Simons all out, Portland is basically a G-League team out there right now so I expect the Kings to dominate this match-up once again.

Denver Nuggets ML (+290) over Phoenix Suns

And finally, to close out the Parlay we have the Denver Nuggets winning at Phoenix tonight. You might be wondering why we’re getting such good odds for this bet, well as I’m writing this the big man is questionable for tonight’s game, as he did not suit up in last night’s loss to New Orleans. My belief is that he intentionally sat out that game so that he can be ready for tonight’s match-up with Kevin Durant and the Suns. Phoenix is still undefeated when their prized acquisition plays for them this season at 4-0. KD didn’t have the best of games on Wednesday in his home debut scoring just 16 points on 5-for-18 from the field. It might take some time for everything to set in place for the Suns, so against a consistent team like the Nuggets they might run into problems. Denver has been solid against the spread all year long, they also have a winning record on the road this year and lead the regular season series 2-0 vs the Suns. If Jokic returns, I really like their chances here, so why not take advantage of the massive odds while they’re there?
