The NBA action continues on Wednesday night with a massive 13-game slate. The Western Conference remains anybody’s race, while the Eastern Conference is starting to take shape. There are several interesting matchups on Wednesday including the Heat taking on the Celtics, the Bucks taking on the Knicks and the Grizzlies facing off against the Timberwolves.
Head over to our NBA predictions page for picks on the spread and total for every game on the board, but for now, let's jump into our NBA mega parlay.
Philadelphia 76ers ML (+155) over Cleveland Cavaliers
The 76ers have won 3 in a row and now have Joel Embiid back in the lineup. For that reason, it's slightly surprising that they are 4-point underdogs against the Cavs. Cleveland has already ruled out Jarrett Allen and Kevin Love for Wednesday's game, and that has seen their presence in the paint drop off a cliff in recent games. In the 2 contests without Allen, their best rim protector, they allowed Marvin Bagley to have a 19/10 game and Pascal Siakam an 18/11 game. With that in mind, this opens the door for a huge game from Embiid since the Sixers will likely feed Embiid throughout the game. The star center returned last game to face a dynamic Hawks offense and immediately made an impact on defense, as Philadelphia held Atlanta to just 101 points. The 76ers are being undervalued with Embiid back in the lineup, so I'll take their money line on Wednesday.
