Last night we cashed on yet another NBA Mega Parlay at +679 odds and with 8 more games coming our way this Wednesday, we're back at it with another 3-leg bet. ESPN has a double-header this evening, I've made an effort to include both the Celtics vs 76ers and Kings vs Lakers games in the Parlay.
Visit our NBA predictions page for picks on the Spread and Total for Wednesday's 8-game slate, but let's not waste any more time and get right into it.
Philadelphia 76ers ML vs Boston Celtics (+138)
To start off the Parlay I have the 76ers beating the Boston Celtics. Although they just lost last night to Indiana, the odds are just too good to pass up here for a team that's gone 8-2 to start their season. Philly also beat Boston less than a week ago in this same building 106-103, so they already have an idea what should work here. The big advantage for the 76ers here is Joel Embiid as Boston simply doesn't have anyone of his size and agility to match-up with him down low.
There are some bad news on the injury front for the Cs here as Kristaps Porzingis is questionable with a knee issue. Without him spreading the floor and forcing Embiid to come out to the 3-point line, the Celtics are losing a valuable piece on offense here. Although Boston is 8-2 SU on the season, they're a fairly mediocre 3-2 SU in road games and have covered the spread only once in those 5 outings. In a battle of two Eastern Conference juggernauts, I'm going with the team that's 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 6-1 SU in their last 7 vs Eastern Conference opponents.
