It's a busy Sunday in the Association, with eight games to keep you entertained. Check out our top NBA parlay picks for Sunday’s slate.

Now that the Mavericks presumably have that malfunctioning rim situation resolved in Dallas, we think that Luka’s squad should be primed and ready for a showdown against Trae Young and the visiting Hawks. Elsewhere in the Sunday parlay, we’re looking to fade one of the worst teams in the league while counting on a scoring bonanza for all games involving that team from Indiana.

Here are our top parlay picks for Sunday’s NBA action (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Sunday's NBA Parlay Picks

Atlanta Hawks vs. Dallas Mavericks (-130) ???New Orleans Pelicans (-200) vs. Houston Rockets ???Indiana Pacers-Cleveland Cavaliers Over 216 (-110) ???

Sunday's NBA Parlay Predictions

Mavericks (-130)

The Mavericks (30-23) should be ready to score another win when they host Atlanta on Sunday. Though I don’t have any trends handy for how the Mavs typically play in games following Luka Doncic breaking the rim and needing a replacement basketball hoop to be brought in, I do know the Hawks (25-27) are one of the worst teams in the NBA against the spread in road games this season. Atlanta has compiled a mark of 9-16 ATS away from their home arena.

The Mavericks just have to secure the outright win on the Moneyline to contribute to our parlay. Dallas is 17-10 at home on the season and should be able to handle themselves in this one. Luka is practically glowing orange at this point, posting four straight games with 30+ points as well as three triple-doubles in his last five contests. I expect a Hawks team that is 11-15 in games following a previous loss to continue that trend in dropping a well-fought contest in Dallas on Sunday. It's a good pick to start our NBA parlay.

Pelicans (-200)

It hasn’t been a bad call to bet against the Rockets (15-37) this season. The Rockets defense is almost astoundingly porous, allowing a league-worst 117 points per game. Houston is 8-16 at home and 11-35 as an underdog, regularly making an ML bet against it a profitable endeavor.

It’s not often that the Zion Williamson-less Pelicans (20-32) find themselves as favorites for a game this season. But when they have been favored, they’ve typically handled their business. New Orleans has won eight of the 11 games for which it has been the favorite, a percentage that ranks eighth in the NBA. They should be a solid bet to at least win the game outright on the heels of two straight wins over the Pistons and Nuggets.

Pacers-Cavaliers Over 216 (-110)

The Cavs (31-22) haven’t been scoring at their usual pace recently. The Cavs have been held below their season average of 106.3 points per game in each of their last four contests, and seven of their last eight.

Cleveland is accustomed to winning with its NBA-best scoring defense (102.4 ppg), but I’m not sure a game against the Pacers turns into a low-scoring slog. Indiana has averaged 120 ppg over its last three weeks, a stretch spanning 11 contests. Indiana only won four of those 11 games. Its defense has been putrid, with the Pacers allowing 122.4 ppg over the past three weeks.

The Pacers may struggle to score to its recent norms against the stingy Cavs, but the Pacers’ ugly defensive trends should inspire more of a shootout than you’d normally see with Cleveland. Scoring with the Pacers should be a breeze for the Cavs in a game that should see points on both sides.
