Tonight's duals offer multiple options for a parlay bet with a DraftKings promo code, considering the numerous available prop bets.
Let's examine each duel and determine which team has the best chances to emerge victorious.
Nuggets vs. 76ers
The 76ers have the best scorer in the league, with Joel Embiid averaging 34.9 points per game. Philadelphia is not maximizing the productivity of their star center, Embiid, winning five out of their last ten games. On the other side of this duel, the champion Nuggets have won seven out of their last ten games, and Nikola Jokic is playing like an MVP candidate.
This is the first meeting between these two teams this season, and what can work against the 76ers is that they are playing their second game in back-to-back nights after defeating the Rockets 124-115 on Monday. Plus, the Nuggets won four of their last five games as underdogs on the road.
Philadelphia scores 119.8 points per game, and Denver averages 116.2 points per contest. The moneyline bet on the 76ers offers -180 odds, and the Nuggets get +150 odds. From a point-spread perspective, both teams receive -110 odds to cover their 4.5-point spread.
Kings vs. Suns
The Suns triumphed in their last two games, while the Kings experienced defeat in their previous two matchups. Phoenix is coming off a 127-116 road win against the Blazers, a duel in which Devin Booker scored 34 points and Kevin Durant contributed 21 points. The Sun won seven of their last ten games, and their star players Durant, Beal, and Booker are healthy and will finally share the floor.
Phoenix scores 115.8 points a game, while their opponents, the Kings, net 118.2 points per game. But the Suns are not defensively oriented, and that's their biggest weakness. A moneyline bet on the Suns offers -205 odds, and the point spread receives -105 odds on Phoenix to cover the -5.5 points.
The Kings have the better overall record at 23-16, compared to the Suns' 21-18 record. A moneyline wager on Sacramento offers +170 odds with a -115 betting line to cover their +5.5-point spread. This won't be an easy matchup, but the homecourt and a healthy roster make the Suns a legitimate favorite.
Thunder vs. Clippers
The Thunder outscored the Clippers 134-115 in December as a 6.5-point home favorite, but this time, the Clippers are playing home and are a 5.5-point favorite, receiving -115 odds to cover, while the visiting team gets -105 odds to cover their spread as an underdog. OKC lost to another Los Angeles team on Monday after the Lakers beat them 112-105.
The Clippers average 117.4 points per contest, with six players scoring double-digit points per game this season, with Kawhi Leonard producing 24 points per game and Paul George averaging 23.6 points per night. A moneyline bet offers -185 odds on the Clippers and +154 odds on the Thunder.
