NBA Sunday parlay at mega (+1127 odds) today 4/23: Timberwolves avoid sweep

It’s an action-packed Sunday in the NBA Playoffs today with 8 teams hitting the hardwood. I’ve selected a total of 3 games for my Mega Parlay, with one slightly controversial pick. Continue reading below to see it.

Be sure to also check our NBA predictions page for picks on the Spread and Total for all 4 games being played, but without wasting any more time let’s jump into my Parlay now.

Under 237 Total Points in Kings @ Warriors (-108)

Boston Celtics 11+  Win Margin (+170)

Minnesota Timberwolves Money Line (+136)

Parlay odds: +1127

Under 237 Total Points in Kings @ Warriors (-108)

The Kings and Warriors were both top 10 teams in terms of offensive rating during the regular season and were both 14th or worse in defensive rating. Therefore, this series was slated to be an offensive clinic but turns out it’s been the complete opposite. Through the first 3 games of the series, the last 2 have gone under the total by an average of 24.5 points. I believe the series will continue to trend in the direction of lower scoring affairs, especially if the Kings continue their 3-point shooting woes. After shooting 37.5% from downtown in Game 1, Sacramento followed up with games of 23.7% and 23.4%. They aren’t shying away from their approach either as their attempts increased from 32 to 38 to 47 in Game 3. The Kings may have been the most efficient team on offense during the regular season, but the playoffs are another animal. Look for the Warriors to put the clamps on the Kings defensively.

Boston Celtics 1 – 10 Win Margin (+170)

The Celtics defense looked uninterested for good portions of Game 3, allowing 74 points in the first half which is something we don’t see often. I’m thinking that was a good wake up call for them, giving the Hawks even more life in this series is something they’ll want to avoid doing here. The Celtics actually played a really solid game offensively knocking down 21 threes and dishing out 31 assists. If they can clean up their rebounding and defending here, they’ll be in a good position. It’s about time they show us why they’re one of the frontrunners to win the title. Atlanta has a lot of pressure on them here, going down 3-1 before the series shifts back to Boston will basically mean they’re done for the year. At 24-17 SU at State Farm Arena they’ve been solid all year, so I do expect them to keep this game close. In the end though, Boston just has more quality all-around and I expect them to pull this one out.

Minnesota Timberwolves Money Line (+136)

Anthony Edwards sure did sound confident in his post game presser for someone that just went down 3-0 in the series. Ant-Man put on another show with 36 points and 7 rebounds, while Karl-Anthony Towns added 27, but the Timberwolves just couldn’t match the ball movement of Denver and their rebounding. The absences of Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels are proving to be too big for this team, with them in the line-up I feel like they could have at least won a couple of games in this series. With them now facing elimination I’m interested to see how they respond. Nobody wants a sweep on their résumé, so I think we’ll see a maximum effort by the Timberwolves players in this game. Denver has won by 29, 9 and 9 points in the 3 games so far, covering the spread in all 3 of them. Minnesota did finish the regular season with a winning home record, so maybe they can give their fans something to cheer about here, similar to what Atlanta did in Game 3 against Boston. I’ll take the Timberwolves to get a consolation win in tonight’s game.
