There are seven NBA games on Thursday that the SportsLine Projection Model has simulated. The games had a wide range of betting lines, with the Trail Blazers (+17 in the NBA odds at Caesars Sportsbook) being the biggest spread, while the tilt between the Raptors and the 76ers (-1.5) is the closest. After going through those games and more, we've found three games that make for a great parlay.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past three-plus seasons. The model enters Week 25 of the 2021-22 NBA season on a stunning 84-54 roll on all top-rated NBA picks, returning over $2,400. Anyone following it has seen huge returns.
Here are the model's top three picks for today's games:
| Home Team | Away Team | Handicap | Over/Under | Model Confidence | |
| NO | POR | -17 | 224 | 67% | See Pick Here |
| CHA | ORL | -13.5 | 230.5 | 67% | See Pick Here |
| DEN | MEM | -5.5 | 232.5 | 58% | See Pick Here |
Despite paying out $696 on a $100 bet, the SportsLine model sees this parlay winning an amazing 26 percent of the time. That works out to an expected return of $181 for a $100 bet.
The Pelicans are 3-9 against the spread in their last 12 games vs. teams that win less than 45 percent of games. The Hornets are 7-13 against the spread in their last 20 games when the spread was between +11.5 to +14.5. The Nuggets are 17-8-1 against the spread in their last 26 games vs. teams that win more than 55 percent of games.
Before making any individual NBA bets, you should visit SportsLine to see what the model is saying about Pelicans vs. Blazers, Hornets vs. Magic and Nuggets vs. Grizzlies. Combine all three of these picks for a shot at a huge payday.
