Top NBA Parlay Picks for Saturday: Value in Eastern Conference Underdogs?

It’s a Saturday in the NBA and we’re looking for a three-leg parlay with odds better than +600 to add cash to your bankroll. Here are our top NBA parlay picks for Saturday.

We’ve got an Eastern Conference showdown with major playoff implications in Atlanta. Elsewhere in the East, the Miami Heat are starting to roll again following a tough stretch but will they keep it going in Chicago? Finally, we ride with a red-shot scorer in the match-up between the Utah Jazz and the Golden State Warriors out West in the nightcap.

Here are my top NBA parlay picks for Saturday’s games (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

NBA Parlay Predictions

Hawks +2 (-110)

What is Kevin Durant doing running around telling teams that they HAVE to retire his number? This guy is talented on the basketball court but has his priorities all out of whack off it. Anyway, Saturday night KD’s Brooklyn Nets head to Atlanta to take on the Hawks in a game that means a lot for both sides in terms of their postseason standing.

The Hawks rank toward the bottom of the table against the spread this season, but they have been significantly better at home than away. Atlanta is 21-18 ATS when playing in its own arena. Though Brooklyn has fared pretty well away from home on the year with Kyrie Irving being able to play with the team for a good portion of that, Atlanta is on an undeniable heater at this point.

The Hawks have won four straight games, all of which coming by at least nine points. Three of those wins came at home by an average margin of nearly 18 points. In a loaded Eastern Conference standings, both teams are tied at 40-37 and will need this game to attain a preferred position in the playoff picture. Given the importance of those circumstances, I’ll defer to Trae Young and the home team Hawks in this one.

Heat -2 (-110)

After Miami’s mid-season stretch of dominance slowed down, it had become popular to fade the Heat as fraudulent overlords of the Eastern Conference. A four-game losing streak added credibility to the concept, but Miami has battled back over its last couple of games to get back into the win column and remain atop the East standings. Saturday, they’ll head on the road to face a Chicago Bulls team still right in the thick of things on the conference table.

Chicago has won two games in a row and looks poised to be a factor come playoff time. But I don’t think the Bulls will match up well Saturday with this Heat team on a warpath to prove supremacy in this conference. The trends are fascinating for this one, as Miami is one of the best teams in the NBA on the road at covering spreads this season (23-14-1) while Chicago ranks atop the league in doing so at home (25-12). But in situations where the Bulls are home underdogs, that trend shifts, as Chicago is just 4-5 at home when it is not the favored team.

Despite some topsy turvy play in recent weeks, Miami is favored for a reason in this road match-up. Give me the Heat to re-assert themselves with a quality road performance Saturday.

Mitchell Over 26.5 Points (-108)

Donovan Mitchell has been on a run lately, scoring totals of 33 and 29 in his last two games. Only twice in his last nine games has Mitchell failed to go Over this total. He’s the engine that makes Utah go and the Jazz have been going indeed this season, sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference.

Heading into a big match-up against the Warriors who are currently third in the conference, the Jazz’s best player and team leader is going to be ready for a shootout. I like Mitchell to lead the Jazz to a big win by piling on another impressive scoring output. Guard play will be a critical facet of this match-up; Mitchell should rise to the occasion.

Combined NBA Parlay Odds: Hawks +2 (-110) + Heat -2 (-110) + Mitchell Over 26.5 Points (-108) = +601
