There are six NBA games today, and we have a couple of NBA same-game parlays (SGPs) for you. Three of today’s games are televised nationally. At 3:00 p.m. ET, the San Antonio Spurs and Milwaukee Bucks tip off the day on Amazon Prime Video, followed by the Detroit Pistons and Minnesota Timberwolves at 5:30 p.m. ET on ABC. Then, at 10:00 p.m. ET, the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns wrap up the evening on NBA TV.
Last week in this space, we just missed a four-leg SGP by a half-point, as Oklahoma City won 132-111 as a 20.5-point favorite; we had the Washington Wizards as the underdog at home. That’s it. The other three legs cashed. That was painful. Let’s get back to the drawing board for Saturday night's exciting slate.

Chicago Bulls (-162) at Memphis Grizzlies (+136) | O/U 245.5 (-106/-114)
- Leg 1: Bulls -3.5 (-108)
- Leg 2: Under 245.5 Points (-114)
- Leg 3: Olivier-Maxence Prosper 10+ Points (-295)
- Leg 4: Josh Giddey to Record a Double-Double (-280)
While this game won’t mean anything in terms of the postseason chase, every game is important in terms of betting, and there are winners to be had everywhere.
The Bulls (29-44) and Grizzlies (24-49) meet at FedEx Forum in Memphis. The Grizzlies are 12-23 at home, while the Bulls are 11-24 on the road. These teams last met in Chitown, with the Bulls coming away with a 132-107 victory as a 6.5-point favorite, as the under (243.5) cashed.
Chicago has won five of the past six meetings in this series, while also going 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in the span. The winning team has scored 125+ points in five of the past six meetings, with the over going 5-1 in that span.
The over trend in this series isn’t why the sportsbooks have such a giant number on this game, however. The Bulls have dropped four of the past five games, allowing at least 124 points in four of those contests. The over is on a 3-0 run, while going 6-3 across the previous nine outings. One of those under results was a 132-107 win over the Hornets, with a total of 243.5.
The Grizzlies have dropped five in a row, while losing 13 of the past 14 outings. Memphis covered as 13.5-point underdogs at home in a 119-109 loss to the Houston Rockets on Friday, but it is still 1-3 ATS in the past four games. The offense has managed 109 or fewer points in four in a row, but look for the Grizzlies to come alive against the very giving Bulls defense.
With both teams on a back-to-back situation with no rest, we’re going to certainly side with the under. Based on the tremendous struggles of the Grizzlies, we’re taking the Bulls laying the points.
For the player props, Olivier-Maxence Prosper is getting regular playing time for the Grizzlies and making the most of his opportunity. He had a banger Friday, dropping a career-high 31 points. His previous best was 25 points. He is averaging 24 points per game (PPG) in the past two games, and he has double-digit point totals in seven of the past eight games.
Chicago’s Josh Giddey has posted 11+ rebounds in four straight games and 10+ boards in nine of the past 10 games. He has dished out 10+ assists in four of the past 10 games, while reaching double digits in points nine times in 12 March games. The Aussie has five triple-doubles and three other games with a double-double this month. We’ll simply take him to record the double-double.
Parlay Odds: +523
Utah Jazz (+810) at Phoenix Suns (-1350) | O/U 229.5 (-114/-106)
- Leg 1: Jazz +16.5 (-106)
- Leg 2: Under 229.5 Points (-106)
- Leg 3: Brice Sensabaugh Over 25.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-114)
The Jazz (21-53) meet the Suns (40-33) at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix at 10:00 p.m. ET on NBA TV. These teams haven’t met since Halloween, when they played a home-and-home set, each winning and covering at home.
Phoenix won 118-96 as a 3-point favorite, as the under (236.5) cashed, in the most recent meeting. The Suns have won nine of the past 10 meetings in the series, and Utah’s only win came in Salt Lake City on October 27th.
Utah has dropped four in a row, and eight of the past nine games, while going just 1-3 ATS in the past four outings and 2-5 ATS across the previous seven. The over has cashed in four in a row, while going 8-2 in the previous 10 installments.
The Suns suffered a 125-123 loss to the visiting Denver Nuggets last time out, covering as a 6-point underdog. The Suns have dropped six of the past seven games, but they’re a solid 3-1 ATS in the past four games and 7-3 ATS across the past 10 outings. The under has hit in four of the past five outings for the Suns, too. The under is 7-2 in the past nine home games for Phoenix.
Phoenix will be without Dillon Brooks (hand), Amir Coffey (ankle), Haywood Highsmith (knee) and Mark Williams (foot), so let’s take the Jazz catching the big points, and we’ll also bet on the under.
For the props, Brice Sensabaugh has been kicking it up a notch, seeing a regular role in the offense with Lauri Markkanen on the shelf. He had just 13 points last time out, but he posted three three-pointers with six assists and four rebounds. In March, Sensabaugh is averaging 21.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. Let’s be the over on Sensabaugh’s combined points + rebounds + assists prop.
Parlay Odds: +433
