NBA Parlay Leg #1: Los Angeles Lakers ML (+120)
The Los Angeles Lakers have been trending in the right direction, winning seven of their past nine games after starting the season just 2-10. Los Angeles' turnaround has been led by Anthony Davis, who has played MVP-level basketball, dominating on both ends.
The Lakers' opponent, the Washington Wizards, have been trending the opposite way, losing five of their past six games. While LeBron James is questionable to play with left ankle soreness, the Lakers have shown that they can still pull off victories in his absence. Whether James plays or not, look for the Lakers to emerge victorious.
NBA Parlay Leg #2: Anthony Davis Over 27.5 Points (-105)
Anthony Davis has been downright dominant this season. The Los Angeles Lakers star is averaging 27.2 points per game, 12.6 rebounds per game, 2.7 assists per game, 1.4 steals per game, and 2.4 blocks per game while shooting 57.7% from the field.
Over his past eight games, Davis' numbers are even more ridiculous as he has averaged 32.9 points per game, 15.4 rebounds per game, 2.9 assists per game, 1.4 steals per game, and 2.9 blocks per game. Furthermore, Davis has rediscovered his jump shot over that span. In addition to shooting an absurd 63.1% from the field, the eight-time All-Star is shooting 37.5% from three-point range and 86.7% from the free-throw line.
With LeBron James questionable to take the court, look for the offensive load to once again fall on Davis' shoulders. Expect the Lakers star to finish with at least 28 points.
NBA Parlay Leg #3: Kevin Durant Over 28.5 Points (-105)
Kevin Durant is another superstar playing MVP-caliber basketball this season. The Brooklyn Nets star has averaged 29.8 points per game, 6.6 rebounds per game, 5.4 assists per game, 0.7 steals per game, and 1.8 blocks per game.
Durant has been incredibly efficient as well, shooting 55.4% from the field, 34.5% from three-point range, and 92.1% from the free-throw line.
While the Boston Celtics were arguably the NBA's stingiest defense when they swept Durant and the Nets last postseason, they have struggled on that end of the floor thus far, ranking 16th in opponents points per game and 22nd in defensive rating.
Durant will likely enter this contest looking to avenge his poor performance in last season's playoff series. Look for him to do just that by finishing with at least 29 points.
Three Leg Parlay Odds: +595
