It is a busy time in the sports world, with a ton of major events taking place in June. The French Open, Euro 2020 and U.S. Open are going on, just to name a few, plus the NBA playoffs continue. There is also plenty of MMA and MLB to keep us occupied as well, so from a betting standpoint, there is no shortage of potential wagers. Tonight there are two NBA playoff games that are both expected to stay close — Hawks vs. 76ers and Nuggets vs. Suns — and then the weekend is full of events that have a lot of betting possibilities.

Although the goal is always to capture value and find inefficiencies in the market, there is also some room to take shots on higher-upside type bets. Parlays are certainly a worse bet than a straight wager, but they bring the chance to win a lot of money while only wagering a small amount. Think of this in DFS terms as cash vs. GPP, where the lotto tournament may not be the best structure/rake but has that chance for a major score. They are also a fantastic sweat, and the entertainment value for trying for a big score is always a good time. Let’s take a chance and roll the dice with a three-leg parlay that starts tonight and goes into the weekend.

Parlay of the Day: UFC 263 + NBA Betting Picks, Odds & Predictions

3-Leg Parlay Pick: Nuggets -1.5 (-110), Jamahal Hill (-300), Nets ML (-135)

This three-leg parlay spans all the way through the weekend. Things start tonight with a straight-up bet on the Nuggets. They are in must-win mode and back at home, so Denver should offer a much better effort tonight. They are a slight favorite and should make this a series much like the Bucks did last night against Brooklyn. Denver still has the MVP in Nikola Jokic, and pending they can slow Phoenix’s quick starts, they should be able to get the job done tonight. Keep an eye on any news around Michael Porter Jr. and his back as that is a key storyline to monitor. He should play and give them more than he did in Game 2, where he was clearly limited.

The second leg of the parlay comes from UFC 263 on Saturday night, with Jamahal Hill a sizeable favorite over Paul Craig. This -300 may move upwards as the fights get closer, and Hill will ultimately get the finish. He wants to keep the fight standing, while Craig will look to take it to the ground to work submissions. Hill is undefeated, and if he controls this fight, he should get the win.

The last bet comes from Game 4 between the Nets and Bucks on Sunday. Milwaukee was able to extend the drama with a hard-fought Game 3 win and now looks to level everything at two games apiece. Brooklyn is a slight favorite on the road and seems likely to move the series to 3-1. There is nothing wrong with laying the 1.5 or 2, but -135 on the moneyline is reasonable and allows bettors to not have to worry about covering the number late. Kevin Durant is playing like the best player in the world, and Brooklyn’s firepower is tough to contain. Khris Middleton deserves credit for showing up in a big way in Game 3, but it will not be enough in this pivotal game 4.

The parlay provides three days of action in two different sports, and if it hits, it’s over 3-1 on the payout. With so many different leagues, tournaments and seasons going on, sometimes t is fun to pair up several spots and hope to increase the payout on bets. Be aware of the value being given up when betting a parlay, but give this spot a look if looking to sweat out a bunch of different sports this weekend.
