The follow up to my three-team winner wasn’t as successful proving again that winning a multi-wager NBA parlay isn’t easy. But when that ticket does hit, it’s well worth it since sportsbooks offer attractive odds. I didn’t come close to winning, which is better than suffering a bad beat to ruin your ticket, I guess. Atlanta and Golden State scored a lot of points in last Friday’s matchup, but oddsmakers adjusted with a ridiculous total of 250.5. I missed winning that bet by 4.5 points. Last Sunday’s ticket was in the trash early when the Hawks and Spurs fell 1.5 points shy of the total giving me another loss on the OVER. It’s time to regroup with plenty of wagering options available on the 10-game slate for Friday, March 24, including a key interconference matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors. While the Dubs suck on the road they’ve won 80 percent of their home games with the best cover rate in the NBA. Let’s have a look at NBA parlay picks for Friday, March 24.

As mentioned the Warriors are nearly unbeatable at home in stark contrast to their road record. Winning 29 of 36 games at Chase Center has kept the defending champs among the top six in the Western Conference and has prevented them from falling completely out of the top 10 in the Western Conference. Friday’s contest against Philly opens a critical 4-game homestand for the Dubs as they look to avoid the play-in tournament and missing the postseason altogether. They’ve won their last eight home games overall going 8-0 ATS and they are 10-4 SU and 9-4-1 ATS at home versus the Eastern Conference.
Philly actually has been better on the road than at home buoyed by a six-game winning streak. And this is the opener of a daunting three-game trip that also has them in Phoenix on Saturday and Denver on Monday. They should at least be rested for this matchup and we’re going to see the Sixers at full strength meaning plenty of Joel Embiid. The MVP candidate is averaging 33.6 points and 10.3 rebounds and could have a big game against a team that struggles to defend the post and he will be the difference in a Philly win.
Not to pick on the Pistons, but boy are they bad. It’s been an unfortunate season with injuries playing a huge role starting with the loss of former No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham. And it got worse as the season progressed. They snapped an 11-game skid beating Indiana last week only to lose their next three. They are 0-3 against Toronto this season but the games have been close with Detroit covering the spread in all three. In fact the Pistons have payouts in nine straight games with the Raps and the margin this season has been nine points. That’s enough for me to back the visitors.
With their six-game road trip now done I expect to see the Celtics return to the form that had them sitting atop the Eastern Conference for most of the season. Boston lost that spot to Milwaukee and now must hold off Philly and Cleveland. The Cs had a brutal loss in Houston and were upset by Utah on the trip, but they’ve responded to spurts of poor play behind the lethal duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. And they are expected to have a healthier lineup with Marcus Smart and Al Horford due back.
