        This. Now if you can get the Nuggets - 4 or - 5, then I like it.

          I had some thoughts about this type of parlays...
          Maybe wait for each of the games for live betting to catch a good value and then you are only on a single game instead of 3... sometimes, those NBA games have crazy swings

            because it is a "parlay." Throw your $$ away.

                    ML Parlays always look like winners when you put the bet in.....but a lot of times they don't come back as winners. It looks like a winner, but you never know in the NBA.

                        Agreed. If there is going to be a loser, it will be Brooklyn.

                              How is it off Daon? ... .80 x .80 x .80 = .512

                              51.2% is below the required hit rate to make a profit. I guess its the same as making 1 pick ATS...so disregard anything in this post.

                                  The 2 road win Suns are being undersold tonight. The good news is road dogs who have hovered around 26% SU this year. Have been on a huge run this last week and are hitting near 42%. That won't keep up.
