We have a loaded Wednesday slate of NBA betting action in the first round of the playoffs. With four games on tap, there are bets to like across the board. So we’ll combine them here in our betting parlay for the NBA on Wednesday night.
The Parlay
We have a four-team parlay loaded up for Wednesday:
76ers -7
Hawks-Knicks Under 208
Grizzlies-Jazz Over 225.5
Clippers -7
Placed together, the odds for this bet come in at +1350. If you placed a $100 bet on all four of the above outcomes occurring and all four happen, you would win $1,350.
Let’s explain why these four picks are our favorites of the night.
Wizards vs. 76ers Picks
Wizards vs. 76ers Betting Report
Best Bet: 76ers -7
This bet is contingent on the health of Joel Embiid, who left Game 4 early with a reported knee injury.
Early reports suggest it’s nothing serious, and Philadelphia will hope to have their star center back to close out the series on Wednesday night.
Philadelphia, when Embiid is healthy, has dominated this series. They dropped Game 4 and a chance to sweep Washington but should be able to rebound in Game 5 with a win.
Their average margin of victory in Games 2 and 3 was 27 points, showing how much better this team is on both ends.
With Embiid back in the fold, Philly should cover the seven-point spread here at home against the Wizards.
Hawks vs. Knicks Picks
Hawks vs. Knicks Betting Report
Best Bet: UNDER 208 Points
The under in this series is 3-0-1, with the lone push occurring in Game 4. We’re back for another bet on low scoring, thanks to both teams’ strong defenses and slow pace of play.
New York’s defense is tops in the NBA, while Atlanta has a top-ten unit of their own. However, both offenses play a slow brand of basketball, bottom-ten in pace of play.
When combined, the two factors fuel an under pick. The success this bet has had throughout the series should continue Wednesday.
Grizzlies vs. Jazz Picks
Grizzlies vs. Jazz Betting Report
Best Bet: OVER 225.5 Points
The over in this Grizzlies-Jazz series has been our favorite bet of the entire playoffs. Coming into Game 5, the over is 4-0, and the Wednesday line of 225.5 still doesn’t feel like enough.
The over here is built on a strong advantage for each offense. The Grizzlies are the number-one offense when it comes to generating points inside. The Jazz rank 22nd stopping points in the paint.
Utah is the best team in the NBA at shooting the three, going against Memphis’s defense, ranked 17th guarding the perimeter.
In four games played, the average total between these two teams is 241 points. Bet the over confidently.
Mavericks vs. Clippers Picks
Mavericks vs. Clippers Betting Report
Best Bet: Clippers -7
The last leg of our four-team parlay is the Clippers to cover the spread against Dallas. After dropping the first two games, the Clippers have evened the series at two games apiece, with an average margin of victory of 17.5 points.
Luka Doncic is not at 100%, and the series returns to LA for a crucial Game 5.
On paper, the Clippers are the stronger team on both ends of the floor. However, the two most recent games suggest LA has found its stride at the right time, so we’ll be betting on their continued success here with a 7-point cover.
