It's another busy Friday night in the Association with 18 teams hitting the NBA hardwood. NBA TV has a double-header coming our way, I've made an effort to include one of those games into my Parlay.

Let's get into my Mega Parlay.
Philadelphia 76ers ML (+100)
The experience is on Philadelphia's side here, they are 7-1 SU in the last 8 meetings, plus there is also good news on the injury front as Tyrese Maxey has been upgraded to probable for the first time in almost 40 days. I'm expecting a big game from Joel Embiid here as the Pels have one big weakness over their last 3 games and that's 56.7 points per game allowed in the paint. Even though the Pels are on a 4-game win streak, I am a bit skeptical because two of those wins were against sub-par teams OKC and San Antonio, and they just barely beat an average Minnesota team at home 119-118 on Wednesday. Brandon Ingram is yet to return to the line-up following his toe injury and to make matters worse they lost one big body they could have used on Embiid as Larry Nance Jr. has been ruled as doubtful with a neck injury. With a rejuvenated Embiid and Harden, Philly has elevated to one of the best teams in the East. They won by 20 the last time they visited this arena and also sw ept the regular season series last year.
