The NBA week continues with an 8-game slate on Saturday. It begins with the Brooklyn Nets paying a visit to the Los Angeles Clippers and wraps up with a showdown on NBA TV between the New Orleans Pelicans and Houston Rockets. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers are looking to avenge a recent loss to the Atlanta Hawks, while the Dallas Mavericks will try to halt the Portland Trail Blazers' hot streak.
Here is a look at today's mega parlay.
For this 3-team parlay we are going with 2 underdogs on the money line and 1 favorite against an alternate spread. Let's break down each of the 3.
Brooklyn Nets ML over Los Angeles Clippers (+105)
Kyrie Irving is suspended and all of a sudden the Nets are playing great basketball on both ends of the floor. Since the suspension Brooklyn has won 3 out of 4 games and opponents are shooting around 37 percent during this stretch. That makes the Nets' defense the best in the NBA over the past 4 contests. You can't make this stuff up, folks. In their last outing against the Knicks on Wednesday the Nets took care of business 112-85, with Kevin Durant leading the way to the tune of a triple-double. Now they face a Clippers team that is near the bottom 10 of the league in opponents' field-goal percentage. Look for Brooklyn to have another big day both offensively and defensively.
