I was able to hit my Brooklyn Nets vs Phoenix Suns same game parlay on Thursday and the mega parlay last night. Will be hoping to make it 3 straight days of winners with yet another parlay tonight. There are 7 games on the NBA slate to choose from. The early tip off will see the Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors collide in Canada. The evening will then be closed out by the Philadelphia 76ers trip to take on the Sacramento Kings.
Be sure to check out all of our'NBA predictions for all of today's games. But for now, let's dive into my mega parlay for Saturday.
The Memphis Grizzlies saw the longest active win streak snapped last night.' Tonight, the Houston Rockets will get the chance to put an end to the league's longest current losing streak. They may have to do it without the services of Kevin Porter Jr. and Jabari Smith Jr., who are both listed as doubtful. Luckily for them, their opponents the Minnesota Timberwolves have injury concerns of their own. Karl-Anthony Towns has seen his return delayed while Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert are both questionable to play. Against the lowly Rockets, it would not be surprising to see the Timberwolves act cautiously and rest their starts.
The Timberwolves have been vulnerable on the defensive side of the ball. Over the last 10 games, the team ranks just 18th in defensive rating. Without Gobert, their problems there could worsen. It could allow Jalen Green to thrive attacking the rim. He is coming into this game after a 41-point explosion against the Charlotte Hornets and could be similarly effective tonight. Alperen Sengun has scored 24 or more points in 2 straight games and could be set to do the same again if the Frenchman doesn't take to the floor. With 2 in form offensive weapons, the Rockets should have a real shot of picking up a win.
