NBA Christmas Day Parlay

The NBA is once again looking to take over Christmas Day as there are five games on the schedule. Some of the top teams in the NBA are set to take the floor, and the NBA has also put together some terrific matchups.

Instead of betting each game individually, creating a parlay of three picks is the way to go. Here are the three picks that you should be targeting in your Christmas Day parlay.

New York Knicks -1.0 vs. Atlanta Hawks

The first game of the day will feature the Knicks hosting the Hawks at Madison Square Garden. Both of these teams have really struggled in 2021, but this is a rematch of a playoff series from a season ago.

Trae Young continues to put up some monster numbers for the Hawks, but he doesn’t always get a ton of help. Atlanta can be a streaky team, and they will look to get things rolling right away on Christmas Day.

New York can’t afford for this game to be a shootout, and they want to win it with defense. Kemba Walker has been putting up monster numbers for the Knicks of late, and that’s going to play a role in this game.

Bet the Knicks -1.0 over the Hawks to begin your parlay.

Golden State Warriors +5.0 at Phoenix Suns

The best game of the day will take place in Phoenix as the Suns are set to host the Golden State Warriors. These teams have combined to lose just 11 games this season, and they have already split a pair of matchups this season.

Golden State is led by Stephen Curry and his 27.7 points per game, and Curry will be looking to put on a show on Christmas Day. The Warriors can also be a great defensive team, and that could have an impact on this game as well.

Phoenix has won five straight games, and they continue to be streaky. The Suns are tough to stop with Devin Booker and Chris Paul leading the offense, but Golden State will be ready.

This game should be the tightest matchup of the entire day, and the best way to go is to take the points and bet on the Golden State Warriors +5.0.

Brooklyn Nets -1.0 at Los Angeles Lakers

The final team to include in your NBA Christmas Day parlay is the Brooklyn Nets as they go on the road to face the Los Angeles Lakers. These were the two betting favorites to win the NBA Championship before the season began, but the Lakers aren’t living up to those expectations.

Los Angeles comes into this game with a record of 16-17, and they are also missing Anthony Davis due to injury. The Lakers put together an interesting roster full of veterans in the offseason, but it just hasn’t worked out like it was planned.

Brooklyn is still without Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant could miss this game also as he is in the league’s health and safety protocols. Still, Brooklyn has gone 21-9 this season, and they are one of the best in the league.

The Nets will take care of business and win this game in Los Angeles.
