The weekend is almost here, but before that we have a tasty 8-game night on a Friday in the NBA. NBA TV will have a double-header coming our way, with the Cavs vs Timberwolves match-up at 8 pm ET. The 76ers and Lakers conclude the action at 10.30 pm, I’ve settled for 3 teams in my NBA Mega Parlay. Check it out below!
I would also encourage you to visit our NBA picks page for predictions on the side and total for the rest of Friday’s games.
Now let’s dive into my bet!
CLE Cavaliers ML (+198)
GS Warriors -5 (-108)
LA Lakers -8.5 (-110)
Parlay odds: +995
CLE Cavaliers ML over MIN Timberwolves (+198)
These two teams actually played each other less than 2 weeks ago in Cleveland and the Cavaliers came out on top 113-104 in OT. Minnesota’s injury situation has gotten a lot worse since that game. Rudy Gobert played in only one game since that loss in Cleveland, he’s questionable to play with a rib injury here. His backup Naz Reid is also a game-time decision with a head injury, missing both their big men will be a major issue here. Jarrett Allen had 33 points and 18 rebounds in that first meeting.
Donovan Mitchell is also out for the Cavs, but that didn’t seem to bother them in the first head-to-head meeting. Darius Garland and co. are 10-10 SU without their best player this season, with impressive wins over Indiana, Boston, Dallas and Denver in those games. With the Cavs covering in their last 6 of 9 visits to Target Center, I think they have what it takes to sweep the season series from the injury riddled Timberwolves here.
GS Warriors -5 over IND Pacers (-108)
Over his last 10 outings Tyrese Haliburton is shooting just 17% from downtown and averaging 15.7 points per game. Indiana has also lost Bennedict Mathurin to a season ending shoulder injury, he was their leading scorer off the bench this season with 14.5 points per game. A balanced attack will be needed to get a result at Chase Center tonight, the Warriors won the first meeting 131-109 back in early February in Indianapolis.
Golden State returned to winning was with a 137-116 win over Memphis on Wednesday. They enter tonight’s game on a 13-7 ATS/SU run over their last 20 games. There-point shooting might just give the Warriors the edge here. They’ve drained 19, 14 and 14 threes over their last 3 games, while Indiana has scored single digit threes in 4 of their last 6 games. These two teams are in similar situations, I personally would favor the Warriors. They’re the healthier team, Andrew Wiggins is starting to contribute and they have more three-point shooting available at the moment.
LA Lakers -8.5 over PHI 76ers (-110)
Philly got the edge in the first meeting 138-94, but that game was played back in November, from today’s perspective it carries very little weight. Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris, De’Anthony Melton and Robert Covington could all be out for Philly, that’s a massive blow to their ambitions here. They just lost to Phoenix 115-102, this team seems incapable of putting up big numbers on offense and against the high-flying Lakers that could be a problem.
Playing the 76ers at home hasn’t been a pleasant experience for LeBron and co. as they’re just 1-6 SU in the last 7 meetings there. However, LA is currently on a run of 7 consecutive wins against teams from the Eastern Conference and they’re the much healthier team here. I’m looking at Anthony Davis specifically here. With Embiid out and the 76ers being very thin on the inside, AD should assert his dominance. Although their defense has lacked consistency, the Lakers are one of the most prolific offenses in the league still. I don’t think the 76ers will be able to stay in this game for long.
