Best NBA Parlay Picks Today, Saturday 12/16: 3-Leg Parlay at mega +861 odds – Thunder take down the defending champs

On Wednesday I was able to cash on my +789 odds NBA Mega Parlay, I’ve prepared another 3-leg Parlay in hopes of adding to that with Saturday’s slate. The bet consists of 2 teams to cover the spread and one team to win outright, continue reading below to see them.

The weekend starts off with a busy 10-game slate this evening, for in-depth predictions on the spread and total simply head over to our NBA picks page.

Now let’s take a deep dive into my bet!

DAL Mavericks -5 (-110)

OKC Thunder ML (+166)

LA Clippers -5.5 (-112)

Parlay odds: +861

DAL Mavericks -5 vs POR Trail Blazers (-110)

To start of the Parlay, I have the Dallas Mavericks covering the spread once again vs the struggling Portland Trail Blazers. The Mavs have some injurie issues right now with the likes of Maxi Kleber, Kyrie Irving and Seth Curry all potentially missing this Game, but as long as Luka Doncic is Healthy and playing they should be beating teams like the Blazers without any issues. Luka had another spectacular performance in the loss against Minnesota the other night, scoring 39 points and dishing 13 assists.

Portland has lost 5 games in a row, although some of those games have been really close, I don’t anticipate that being the case in tonight’s game. They lost the first meeting against the Mavs at home 125-112 just a week ago, plus their best player and leading scorer Jerami Grant is a game-time decision here as he recovers from a concussion. With Doncic averaging 32 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.3 assist over the last 10 meetings and notching 2 triple-doubles in the last 6 of those, I think anything other than Dallas covering here would be a major upset.

OKC Thunder ML vs DEN Nuggets (+166)

Up next I have the OKC Thunder pulling off the upset against the defending champions in their building. Despite the loss at Sacramento in their last Game, the Thunder will be optimistic heading into tonight’s Game after their leader and best player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dropped 43 points in that Game. They’ve been in a solid scoring form lately, putting up 123, 134, 138 and 126 points in 4 of their last 5 Games, so the Nuggets will have their hands full trying to contain them here.

Denver has been in solid form lately with 3 wins in a row, however two of those teams are outside the playoff picture in the East, while the Nets are just 2 games above the .500 mark. Health has been a major concern for the Nuggets lately, heading into tonight’s game Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray are both game time decisions, while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been ruled out with a concussion.  OKC is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 visits to Denver and 10-4 SU in their last 14 games overall. I think they get revenge for the 33-point defeat suffered at the end of October.

LA Clippers -5.5 vs NY Knicks (-112)

Don’t look now, but here come the Clippers. Since James Harden became the starting point guard for this team, LA has gone 11-3 SU in 14 Games played. They just won their 6th Game in a row overall on Thursday as they beat the Warriors 121-113. At home, they’ve not lost since Nov 28th and have won their last 5 Games there. They also have the edge in head-to-head meetings vs the Knicks having won 9 of the last 11 at Crypto.com Arena.

New York just played last night so this will be their 2nd Game in less than 24 hours. They wasted a ton of energy putting away the Phoenix Suns 139-122. Jalen Brunson in particular excelled with a 50-point performance, but I’m wondering how much he and the rest of his teammates have left in the tank after such a grueling Game last night. In their last 20 Games against the Clippers, the Knicks have just 5 victories, while as underdogs they’ve gone just 2-7 SU in their last 9 such Games this season. With the rest advantage at their side, I’m confident the Clippers will have enough to win this Game by at least 6 points.
