Top NBA Parlay Picks for Tuesday: Backing The Magic To Cover In Brooklyn

Last Updated: March 15, 2022 10:45 AM EDT • 3 minute read

There are just four games on Tuesday's NBA slate, but we’re back with a three-leg parlay to build your bankroll! Check out our NBA parlay picks.

Tuesday's slate kicks off with the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Indiana Pacers, and with Ja Morant not expected to play, the door is open for another of Memphis’ top scoring options to go off.

Next up, the Brooklyn Nets face an Orlando Magic team that’s played much better as of late.

Finally, we finish our NBA parlay picks with a Detroit Pistons bet that takes advantage of the Miami Heat's generosity to opposing 3-point shooters.

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

Tuesday’s NBA Parlay Picks

Magic +10.5 (-110) ?????Saddiq Bey Over three 3-pointers (+200) ?????Dillon Brooks Over 19 points (+108) ????

NBA Parlay Predictions

Magic +10.5 (-114)

The Magic have covered in four straight and seven of their last nine games while playing some quality basketball. Six of Orlando’s last seven and seven of their last nine have been decided by fewer than 10 points. We’re set up nicely based solely on recent trends, but there’s more to like.

Wendell Carter is averaging 18.8 points and 11.8 boards across his last nine, posting a double-double in all but one contest. His dominant play coupled with the solid all-around work of teammates like Cole Anthony and Franz Wagner, a return to form from Mo Bamba, and the return of Markelle Fultz have contributed significantly to the team’s recent success.

Brooklyn is 3-3 against the spread in games that include both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in the lineup, so there’s no reason to bet against Orlando just because Irving will be able to play in this one.

Bey Over three 3-pointers (+200)

Miami surrenders the sixth-most 3-pointers to opponents this season at 13 per contest, and the Heat are slightly more generous at home (13.2) than on the road (12.8). We’ll take that trend into consideration with the second leg of our NBA parlay picks.

Bey is averaging 2.5 triples per contest for the second season in a row, and that average gets a slight bump with Cade Cunningham out of the lineup. Cunningham is questionable Tuesday, and Bey has averaged 2.8 triples in 14 games without his teammate this season, hitting at least four triples in five of them (one against the Heat).

In three prior meetings with Miami, Bey hit three, three, and four triples, so there’s a precedent for this plus-money pick. I’ll rock with this one regardless of Cunningham's status, but I’ll feel even better about this if the No. 1 pick is sidelined.

Brooks Over 19 points (+108)

Indiana has surrendered at least 124 points in three of the last four games, and the over/under for Memphis/Indiana is set at a respectable 234.5. That means we should expect plenty of scoring here.

Brooks returned from a two-month absence and put up 14 shots Sunday en route to 15 points. Brooks has never met a shot he didn’t like, and he regularly ends games with more shot attempts than points. With Morant likely out, Brooks’ green light will surely shine even brighter than usual.

The Oregon product has averaged 19.0 points across 12 games this season with Morant out of the lineup, scoring at least 20 in seven of them. I wouldn’t be opposed to climbing the ladder and stacking this with Brooks to score 25+ (+340), but for now, we’ll keep it simple and take the easy-money bet at 20.

Combined odds: Magic +10.5 (-110) + Bey Over three 3-pointers (+200) + Brooks Over 19 points (+114) = +1091
