I finished the regular season by landing a +878 NBA Mega Parlay as well as connecting on 9 of 11 individual picks. Let’s hope the good form carries onto the play-in tournament as well. We have the Lakers and Pelicans squaring off for the 2nd time in 2 days, to decide who takes the 7th seed in the West. Tip-off from Smoothie King Center is at 7.30 pm ET on TNT, I've prepared a Same Game Parlay which is available below.

Let's dive into my SGP bet now!
NO Pelicans ML (-106)
Am I the only one who thinks the Lakers will tank this game in order to avoid playing the Nuggets in the first round? I mean, think about it. Would you rather face the defending champions or an inexperienced Thunder side that you beat 3 times in 4 regular season meetings? I think this makes perfect sense for both sides. The Pels get into the postseason, while the Lakers go head-to-head vs the Kings or Warriors for the 8th seed.
