Good morning, basketball fans, and Merry Christmas! For NBA diehards, this is always one of the best regular-season days of the year…and not because of family Christmas celebrations. There are 5 games, all marquee matchups and all back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back on ESPN. Why not make it extra special by turning it into profit?
Here is a look at Sunday's mega parlay.'
For this 3-team parlay we are going with an over play, a favorite against an alternate spread and a player prop. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.'
Bucks vs Celtics Over 225.5 (-110)'
Boston's home games have been a gold mine for backing the over. The Celtics have a 13-4 home record on the O/U and on Friday there 230 total points scored in their defeat of the Timberwolves. Milwaukee has also trended in that direction with 4 of its last 6 games cashing on that bet. If we look at the recent head-to-head meetings, 8 of the last 9 games have seen more than 225.5 points. There is a ton of star power on the court in the form of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown – just to name a few. They will want to put on a Christmas Day show inside TD Garden and therefore I expect yet another over.
