Picks for Sunday Feb 10: NBA Money Line Parlay

Robert K - February 10th, 2008 .

Pick: Moneyline parlay with Los Angeles Lakers, Detroit Pistons, and Phoenix Suns (-143)

It’s really hard to envision any of these teams losing today. Each of them is head and shoulders better than its opposition, and is currently playing that way. The Lakers are riding high following their trade with Memphis to acquire Pau Gasol, who has helped shoulder the load while Kobe Bryant isn’t 100% with an injured finger. Simply put, the Heat aren’t equipped to either score with the Lake Show or slow down possibly the league’s deepest team on the offensive end. The Pistons are as hot as any team in the league right now, winners of seven straight and playing against a Charlotte team that’s both banged up and simply doesn’t match up well with the Eastern Conference’s finest, let alone anybody else.

Phoenix, meanwhile, is playing shorthanded after the widely criticized trade of Sean Marion and Marcus Banks for Shaquille O’Neal. They get a home game against a Washington team that’s equally shorthanded, however, as All-Star Caron Butler is still sidelined by a hip injury. To make matters worse, guard Antonio Daniels is also banged up with a knee and ankle injury, and might not play today. Even if he does go, he’s going to have a hard time slowing down Steve Nash. So long as the Suns shoot at their typical clip, they should get past the struggling Wizards.

Odds: 1.70 (-143 )

Scores: LA Lakers 104 : Miami 94 | Detroit 113 : Charlotte 87 | Phoenix 108 : Washington 107

Result: WIN
