The NBA takes center stage on Christmas Day with a star-studded five-game slate featuring LeBron James, James Harden, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kawhi Leonard. The NBA-best Bucks (-2.5) visit the 76ers, who are 15-2 at home. The surging Rockets (-10) aim for their fifth straight win at Golden State. James and Leonard renew the Battle for Los Angeles at Staples Center, with the Clippers favored by one over the Lakers. And the Nuggets (21-8, seven straight wins) continue their quietly outstanding season laying 9.5 points to the Pelicans. But which teams should you back with your NBA picks?
Fans everywhere will be placing NBA bets on all these showdowns, but if you’re feeling truly bold on Christmas Day, SportsLine is going huge, packaging its red-hot computer model and No. 1 NBA expert on a four-team parlay that could return a massive 10-1 payout. If you bet $100, it could return $1,000. Get the Christmas Day NBA parlay right now.
The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, already has returned over $1,400 in profit on its top-rated NBA picks this season. It entered this week on a blistering 20-8 run on top-rated NBA picks against the spread.
At the same time, SportsLine handicapper Mike Barner is crushing sportsbooks with his own NBA picks, entering the holiday on a 33-19 run that’s returned more than $1,200 to $100 bettors. Barner is the NBA specialist who recently was nominated for Basketball Writer of the Year. His work has appeared in Sports Illustrated and Yahoo, and he’s been featured on ESPN Radio. Barner digs deep into NBA data, examining team trends and projecting game outcomes. That exhaustive analysis is paying off big-time at SportsLine, where he reigns as the No. 1 NBA expert.
We’ll give one key part of the parlay away: Barner is backing Milwaukee to burnish its NBA-best 27-4 record in Philadelphia and cover the modest spread. “The Bucks have been one of the best teams on the road with their 12-2 record while the Sixers are 15-2 at home,” Barner told SportsLine. “Unfortunately for the Bucks, they will be shorthanded without the services of Eric Bledsoe (lower leg). Still, they have won four out of five games with him out of the lineup, with three of those victories coming by at least 17 points. I think they make a statement here that they are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference.”
Confidently lock in the Bucks, who have covered six of their last seven, into your NBA parlay and you could be well on your way to a colossal payoff.
The model generated strong picks on Clippers vs. Lakers and Pelicans vs. Nuggets, plus Barner identified a surprising angle that has him going big on one side of the Rockets vs. Warriors spread.
