There are a total of three NBA games on Saturday, and we have a couple of NBA same-game parlays (SGPs) for you. It’s a short and sweet slate, as the NBA gives way to the NCAA Tournament and the Final Four in Indianapolis on Saturday night. Only the Detroit Pistons and Philadelphia 76ers compete, tipping off at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBA TV. The other two games tip off at 3:00 p.m. ET, with the San Antonio Spurs meeting the Denver Nuggets on Amazon Prime Video.
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.

Washington Wizards (+980) at Miami Heat (-1800) | O/U 248.5 (-112/-108)
- Leg 1: Wizards +17.5 (-112)
- Leg 2: Over 248.5 Points (-112)
- Leg 3: Bam Adebayo to Record a Double-Double (-260)
- Leg 4: Davion Mitchell 6+ Assists (-194)
The Wizards (17-59) meet the Heat (40-37) at Kaseya Center in Miami at 3:00 p.m. ET, and it is the only non-nationally televised NBA game on Saturday.
Washington is coming off a 153-131 loss as 14.5-point underdogs against the Philadelphia 76ers last time out at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., as the over (238.5) cashed. The Wizards have dropped four in a row, while they’ve lost the previous three games by at least 19 points. The average margin of defeat in the three-game span is 25.3 points per game (PPG). The under is 2-1 in those three outings.
Since February 22nd, the Wizards have won just once in the past 21 outings, including a 150-129 loss in Miami on March 10th in the most recent meeting, as the Heat covered as a 15.5-point favorite. The over (236.5) cashed in that out.
Miami holds the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, so it is assured of at least an NBA Play-In Tournament spot. Mathematically speaking, it still has a chance to climb as high as the fifth spot. More than likely, the Heat will end up in the NBA Play-In Tournament round.
The Heat is 24-15 at home, sporting a +2.2 point differential on the season. Washington, on the other hand, is 6-32 on the road, with a dismal -11.6 point differential.
The Wizards have a lengthy injury report. Justin Champagnie (knee), Bilal Coulibaly (foot), Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukcevic (knee) are listed as questionable. Kyshawn George (elbow), Cam Whitmore (shoulder) and Trae Young (quadriceps, back) are out. And, of course, Anthony Davis (finger) remains sidelined. For the Heat, Tyler Herro (foot) is probable, while Norman Powell is sidelined due to reconditioning.
Miami has won just once in the past four games, and it is 2-8 straight up (SU) in the previous 10 outings, while going 1-3 against the spread (ATS) in the past four games and 3-7 ATS in the 10-game span. The over has cashed in three of the past four outings, while going 8-2 across the previous 10 contests.
Let’s take Washington to cover the big number, and we’ll go high on the total.
As far as the player props are concerned, look to Bam Adebayo to record a double-double. He has five consecutive double-doubles, averaging 19.6 points and 12.8 rebounds in that span. Let’s take a look at Davion Mitchell to get to at least six assists, too. He had seven dimes in Wednesday’s loss to Boston, and he had eight in a loss at Indiana last Sunday. In the past three games, Mitchell has averaged 6.7 assists per game.
Parlay Odds: +479
Detroit Pistons (-124) at Philadelphia 76ers (+106) | O/U 227.5 (-110/-110)
- Leg 1: Pistons -1.5 (-106)
- Leg 2: Over 227.5 Points (-110)
- Leg 3: Daniss Jenkins 15+ Points (-188)
- Leg 4: Duncan Robinson 2+ Made Three-Pointers (-400)
The Pistons (56-21) and the 76ers (43-34) meet at Xfinity Mobile Center in Philadelphia on Saturday at 7:00 p.m. ET on NBA TV in the only game going up against the Final Four. It’s certainly a worthy game, as Detroit tops the charts in the Eastern Conference, while Philadelphia is in the hunt for the sixth playoff spot.
Detroit is without Cade Cunningham due to a battle with pneumothorax. Tobias Harris is questionable to face his former team due to a left knee contusion, too, while Isaiah Stewart is out due to a strained left calf.
Philadelphia won 115-103 as a 3.5-point favorite over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Good Friday, and the 76ers are 4-1 SU/ATS in the past five games. At home, the 76ers are 3-1 SU/ATS in the past four games. The under is 4-1 in the past five games at home and 6-2 across the previous eight games at home.
Detroit has won four in a row in this series, including all three games this season, while going 2-1 ATS. The under is 2-1 in those three meetings this season, while cashing in four of the past six meetings.
Even with Cunningham sidelined, we’ll take the Pistons laying the points, and let’s go over on the total. Daniss Jenkins has been seeing meaningful playing time with Cunningham on the shelf. He has 15+ points in three in a row, averaging 20.7 PPG during that span, including 26 points against the Timberwolves last time out on Thursday. He has 15+ points in seven of the past eight games, too.
The Pistons will give the green light to Duncan Robinson to fire away from behind the arc. He should get to at least two triples. Robinson has eight treys in the past two games, and at least two three-pointers in seven in a row.
Parlay Odds: +402
