The 2023 NBA calendar has gotten off to an exciting start, and we should have more exciting action on Thursday. The highlight is in Denver, as the Nuggets take on the Los Angeles Clippers. We’ll be focusing on that game in this mega parlay, as well as two other games that should feature plenty of offense.
Head over to our NBA predictions for picks on the spread and total for every game on the board, but for now, let's jump into our NBA mega parlay.
Dallas Mavericks ML (+110) over Boston Celtics
This is a spot that screams Boston after the Celtics just lost to Oklahoma City, while the Mavericks are in the midst of a 7-game winning streak. However, I won’t be fading this Mavericks team as an underdog at home, especially with the way Luka Doncic is playing. Doncic is leading the pack when it comes to MVP candidates in the NBA this season, and his recent torrid stretch has catapulted Dallas to a top-4 seed in the Western Conference. The Mavericks now sit at 6th in offensive rating, 6th in true shooting percentage and 6th effective field goal percentage on the season. And while Boston’s offense is still outstanding, the Celtics have slipped a bit on defense of late, most notably surrendering 150 points to the Thunder on Tuesday. This is not a spot where I can fade Dallas just yet. We ride with Luka.
