DALLAS, TEXAS - MARCH 03: (L-R) Naji Marshall #13, Kyrie Irving #11 and Max Christie #00 of the Dallas Mavericks pause during the first half against the Sacramento Kings at American Airlines Center on March 03, 2025 in Dallas, Texas.

Some notes about each team:
- Mavericks: Dallas is 3-7 over their last 10 games, coming off a win over the Brooklyn Nets. They’re the No. 11 seed and are on the outside looking in regarding the Play-In. They have the same record as the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings. They trail in the head-to-head records against both teams, so they'll need to win, and the Kings and Suns will need to take some losses to get in.
- Spurs: San Antonio is 5-5 over their last 10 games and have won three straight. They’re on the road against Detroit and are 12-22 on the road this season.
- Thunder: They have the best record in the NBA at 59-12 and hold a 13.5-game lead over the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets. They’re 9-1 in their last 10 games and have won six straight.
Below, you’ll find my 3-leg parlay of these teams, featuring their point spreads.

Mavericks +9.5
Leading things off for my three NBA parlay bets is the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are coming off a 120-101 road win over the Brooklyn Nets. While that’s far from an endorsement of their ability, they continue to put up points that should pay dividends against the New York Knicks.
Over their last three games, the Mavericks are averaging 124.7 points.
Their injury report includes Daniel Gafford, Dereck Lively, Dante Exum, and now, Caleb Martin, who is listed as day-to-day.
As for the Knicks, they’re averaging 108.3 points per game over their last three.
Both teams have allowed a fair amount of scoring over their last three games, as the Mavericks have surrendered 117.7, and the Knicks have given up 112.7.
The Knicks will also be without Ariel Hukporti, Miles McBride, and Jalen Brunson. Mitchell Robinson, who has an ankle injury, is questionable.
Dallas has also been an excellent shooting team, shooting 54.5% from the floor over their last three games.
Conversely, the Knicks have the fourth-worst percentage at just 43.6% in that stretch.
The Mavericks defense has been exceedingly lackluster, but given how their offense has played, I think they’ll lose but keep this within nine points.
Spurs +9.5
At 31-39, the Spurs are just four games out of the Western Conference Play-In spot.
The Pistons are 40-32 and hold the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference.
The Spurs are coming off a 123-89 win on the road against Toronto, while the Pistons hung 136 in a 136-130 win at home over New Orleans.
Over their last three games, the Spurs are averaging 123.7 points, which is fifth-best in that stretch.
The Pistons are just behind them at 123.0 (sixth).
Defensively, the Spurs have held teams down to just 104.7 points per game over their last three outings, while Detroit has surrendered 122.0.
Both teams have also shot over 50% from the floor over their last three games, while the Spurs are at 41.9% from 3-point range.
Something else to consider on the Pistons side is that Cade Cunningham is questionable with a calf injury that held him out of their last game against New Orleans.
If Cunningham misses this game, it’ll be his first two-game-straight absence since November.
Finally, over their last three games, the Spurs are allowing teams to shoot just 31.0% from 3-point range, which is fourth-best.
Like the Mavericks and Knicks, the Pistons are the better squad, but I’ll ride the Spurs offensive output and take them to cover the spread.
This is on of the best parlays bets today in the NBA.
Thunder -10
The Thunder are far and away the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and are taking on a Sacramento Kings team on the road that’s the No. 9 seed at 35-36.
A win for the Kings here would be massive, but as the point spread shows, that’s not likely.
The Thunder are 19-11-2 as a road favorite, while the Kings are 1-6 as a home underdog against the spread.
The Kings are coming off a 113-95 home loss to the Celtics yesterday.
To add to their against-the-spread woes, the Kings are 3-11 with no rest.
The Thunder have been excellent lately, averaging 125.7 points per game over their last three. Meanwhile, the Kings are at 106.3.
Defensively, Sacramento has allowed 118.3 points per game over that stretch compared to the Thunder, which has allowed 16 points less at 102.3.
The Kings will be without Malik Monk and Devin Carter as they’re out with an illness.
To add to why the Thunder are superior, they’re averaging 56.3 rebounds per outing over their last three (second), while the Kings are at 47.7. The Thunder are also shooting 45.2% from 3-point range compared to the Kings’ 31.7% mark.
I don’t see the Thunder taking their foot off the gas yet. They’re easily the better team here and should easily win by more than 10 making them an easy addition to my NBA parlay predictions.
