It’s a smaller slate of 5 games on Tuesday night, but not small enough to keep us away from making a mega parlay. I’ve found 3 edges that I believe work perfectly in a mega parlay, so without further ado, let’s get right into it!
Memphis Grizzlies ML (+110) over New Orleans Pelicans
Without Ja Morant and Desmond Bane, the Grizzlies offense lacks identity. That's what happened on Sunday, as both players sat out, and Memphis scored only 92 points on 39% shooting. Although Bane is doubtful for Tuesday's game, Morant is in, and the Grizzlies are expecting Jaren Jackson Jr. to make his season debut. The former first-round pick averaged over 16 PPG last season, so he will be a much-needed boost to the offense if Bane is out. As for the Pelicans, they are coming off a win against the woeful Rockets, and Zion Williamson led the New Orleans scoring with 26 points. However, Zion is questionable for Tuesday's game, and the Pelicans may be hesitant on playing their injury-prone star. If that happens, the Grizzlies do not deserve to be underdogs. But even if Zion does play, the Grizzlies offense is elite with Morant and should get the win.
Dallas Mavericks -6.5 (-110) over Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers will be playing in the back half of their 4th back-to-back of the season, and so far, the limited rest has affected their offense. They have scored less than 100 points on two of the three occasions, and they may be without John Wall on Tuesday. Wall missed Monday's game and could miss Tuesday's game as well, and he would be a big loss for an offense that has struggled with zero days of rest. And the worst part? They have to face Luka Doncic, who is well-rested and averaging 34.3 PPG this year. The trio of Doncic, Spencer Dinwiddie and Christian Wood has been leading the Dallas offense, and they should take advantage of the Clippers rest disadvantage with a win by 7 or more on Tuesday.
New York Knicks ML (+164) over Utah Jazz
The Jazz shocked the NBA with their strong start to the season, but they are starting to come back to reality. They've lost 2 games in a row and rank in the bottom 5 in the league in offensive rating, EFG% and TS% in those 2 games. It's been their defense that has been their identity, but in their last 4 games, they are allowed over 115 points per game. This provides an excellent opportunity for New York to steal a game, as they have scored 120 or more points in 3 of their last 4 games. If the Knicks can find success from the perimeter, they can upset the Jazz on Tuesday night.
