We are continuing the NBA week with a small 5-game slate on Tuesday, but it certainly packs a punch. The schedule is highlighted by a double-header on TNT, beginning with the red-hot Knicks hosting the Warriors before the Grizzlies visit the Nuggets. Also in action are the Jazz, Heat and Suns.
Here is a look at Tuesday's mega parlay.'
For this 3-team parlay we are going with 2 underdogs on the money line and 1 favorite against the spread. Let's break down each of the 3 legs.'
Pistons ML over Jazz (+140)'
The Jazz are playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back situation, so I will happily fade them as considerable favorites. Utah started the season 10-3 but it is now just 1 game over .500 at 17-16 following Monday's 122-99 loss at Cleveland. That was preceded by a 123-97 setback at Milwaukee. Tuesday's contest marks the end of a 3-game road trip and having played on both Saturday and Monday I do not expect fresh legs. Although the Pistons are nothing special, they should be able to take advantage. They are wrapping up a 3-game home-stand and most recently pushed Brooklyn to a 124-121 decision on Sunday. That certainly isn't a bad loss considering how the Nets are playing these days. Bojan Bogdanovic's last 4 point totals are 38, 24, 22 and 26, so don't be surprised if he shoots Detroit to a victory.
