NBA Parlay for Monday February 14th, 2022
After just two games on Sunday, as the Super Bowl got the attention of the sports world at large, the NBA is back on the schedule tonight with a packed nine-game slate.
Let’s take a look at the action and identify the remaining value.

Leg #1. Spurs +4.5 | -110 at DK Sportsbook
The Bulls needed a late push and 38 points from DeMar DeRozan Saturday to beat the Thunder 106-101 at home in a game they trailed late. Nikola Vucevic added another 31 points and 14 boards as the Bulls picked up their third straight win to stay within a game of the #1 seed (Heat) in the East.
For the Spurs, a 124-114 win at New Orleans on Saturday marked their third win in four games. They’ve averaged 130.3 points in each. I like for them to keep this one close as the recently acquired Romeo Langford and Josh Richardson make their debut tonight.
Leg #2. Raptors -4 | -110 at DK Sportsbook
Faced with their third game in four nights on Saturday, the Raptors broke their eight-game win streak with a 109-110 loss at home to the Nuggets. Still, they have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA to start February, surging all the way to the 7th seed in the East.
For the Pelicans, the acquisition of CJ McCollum has yet to click, as they’ve lost two straight since his arrival. I expect the chemistry problems to continue for now, and for the Raptors to get back on track in a big way.
Leg #3. Rockets +14.5 | -110 at DK Sportsbook
A pair of recently acquired Rockets in Bruno Fernando and Dennis Schroder are expected to make their debut tonight, as they will look to stop their (most recent) four-game slide. For the home Jazz, tonight will mark game #6 of a six-game homestand. They’ve won all five thus far and have gone 4-1 ATS.
When these two met in January, Houston got the better of the matchup, winning outright as 14-point dogs 116-111. The game marked their fifth cover in a row at Utah, and I expect that trend to continue tonight as the new Rockets are worked into the lineup.
