NBA 6 Game Parlay - Huge Payday if this Hits
by Dave D
Atlanta Hawks
Is there anyone that wants to step in front of the Utah Jazz right now? Sports betting handicappers would be smart to bet with them or to stay away at this point as the Jazz are winners of 12 straight and are the hottest team in the NBA.
The Hawks have won two straight at home and in general, have been fairly reliable at Phillips Arena this season. They are 22-7 at home.
But the Hawks will be shorthanded for this contest as Marvin Williams will be out for a while, which leaves a team that is already short on depth. The Hawks don’t exactly have someone who can replace the 14 points per game Williams was providing.
Stick with the streaking Jazz.
Pick: Jazz +2
Orlando Magic
The Chicago Bulls are an eight-point underdog in Orlando tonight but NBA betting handicappers should know that this line is more based on perception, than reality.
The Magic are one of the best teams in the NBA but they haven’t been themselves since they lost All-Star point guard, Jameer Nelson. The Magic are just 10-7 in their last 17 games, which is so-so for a team that was 36-10 prior to that.
Furthermore, one of the Magic’s main men, Hedo Turkoglu, is questionable tonight with a toe injury.
Look for the Bulls to play this one tight as the Magic try to find their identity.
Pick: Bulls +8
Philadelphia 76ers
At this point, sports betting fans have no reason to trust the Toronto Raptors. They have won just four times in their last 17 games.
To put it nicely, the Raptors have quit on the season and even though they are 4-1 both straight up and against the spread in their last five trips to Philadelphia, there is no reason to trust that stat.
The Raptors are 9-17 ATS in non-conference games and are 0-5 straight up as an underdog of 6.5 to nine points.
Pick: 76ers -6.5
Detroit Pistons
Without Allen Iverson in the lineup, the Detroit Pistons have won five of their last 6 games and have regained their swagger.
On Wednesday, the New York Knicks come to visit but they won on Tuesday, which means they probably won’t win on Wednesday. The Knicks are just 8-22 on the road this season.
Rasheed Wallace is expected to miss the contest but look for the Pistons to continue their late-season resurgence.
Pick: Pistons -6.5
Miami Heat
The Boston Celtics are surprisingly an underdog in Miami, as they might be without as many as five regulars for this contest.
Rajan Rondo and Kevin Garnett are expected to miss Wednesday’s contest while Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are probable, but also beaten up a little bit.
The Celtics just aren’t healthy right now so you can’t expect them to perform at their regular championship level.
Look for the Heat, who have won three of their last four games, to use this and take advantage of the beat-up Celtics.
Pick: Heat -3.5
Houston Rockets
Sports betting handicappers will be expecting an immediate bounce-back from the Los Angeles Lakers after a horrendous outing on Monday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Lakers lost by 17 points to the Blazers and were flat-out smacked around in the contest.
Travelling to Houston doesn’t guarantee anything for the Lakers, who have lost three straight road games.
On the contrary, the Rockets will be up for this contest as they have been rolling recently with wins in 11 of their last 13 contests, and they will want to use this as a measuring stick to see how far they’ve come.
Pick: Rockets -3.5
