Our free NBA parlay picks are out for Thursday, March 16th, 2023! Make sure you check our expert NBA parlay picks before the action kicks off.
Denver Nuggets @ Detroit Pistons – 7pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the two time reigning and defending Most Valuable Player award winner Nikola Jokic. He is currently averaging a triple double on the season for the Nuggets as he leads the team in all three major categories. I look for Nikola Jokić to have another solid game in this one as they face off with one of the weaker defensive teams in the entire league. Jokic should absolutely feast inside and on the boards as I have him recording a triple double in this game against the Detroit Pistons.
My second pick for this game is for the Denver Nuggets to pick up the victory and cover the spread over the Detroit Pistons in this game on the road on Thursday evening. Denver should absolutely have its way with Detroit and this one and I would go as far to say that even if Nikola Jokić ended up not playing this game, Denver should still have no problem getting a comfortable victory. The Nuggets have been one of the better teams in the league this season, and I look for them to take advantage of a Pistons team that has been injured and underperforming all year.

Sacramento Kings @ Brooklyn Nets – 7:30pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox. In the Sacramento Kings first game of their back to back against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday evening De’Aaron Fox played a spectacular game. He scored 32 points and hit a game winning three at the buzzer to give the Sacramento Kings a three point victory on the road at the United Center. I look for him to have another solid game in this one as they travel further East to New York City to play the Brooklyn Nets. I have De’Aaron Fox going over his total points in this game on Thursday night.
My second pick for this game is for the Sacramento Kings to keep the momentum rolling and pick up the victory over the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Thursday evening. Sacramento comes into this game on a decent win streak as they look to finish the season out strong and I look for them to continue that win streak with another victory here against the Nets. This Brooklyn team is a team that finds themselves slowly slipping out of the playoff race in the East. I look for it to get worse for them as I think Sacramento picked up another victory.

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Toronto Raptors – 7:30pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander. When Gilgeous Alexander’s in the lineup, this Oklahoma City team can score a ton of points in a matter of minutes. On some nights, when he is out on the floor, he looks absolutely unstoppable, and can easily go for 40 points without breaking a sweat. I expect another solid performance out of Shai Gilgeous Alexander in this game on the road against the Toronto Raptors as the Oklahoma City Thunder look to get a play-in in the Western Conference. That is why I have Shai Gilgeous Alexander going over his total points in this match up on Thursday.
My second pick for this game is for the Toronto Raptors Pascal Siakam. He is incredible and much like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Pascal Siakam can also score 40 points without breaking a sweat. I look for this to be one of those types of games as I expect him and SGA to go back-and-forth and trade buckets down the stretch. As Toronto is also in desperate need of a victory to keep their playoff hopes alive with the season winding down to the end. Siakam comes into this game averaging around 25 points per game on the season and I have him going over his total points in this game on Thursday.

Indiana Pacers @ Milwaukee Bucks – 8pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the former to time most valuable player award winner, the Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo. He has been playing great basketball, and he could potentially be receiving his third most valuable player award in the last five seasons with the way he has performed this year. His points per game average puts him among the league leaders in scoring on the year as he is averaging well over 30 points a game. I expect him to have another solid performance in this game as I have Giannis Antetokounmpo going over his total points against Indiana on Thursday night at home.
My second pick for this game is for the Milwaukee Bucks to pick up the victory and cover the spread at home over their Central division rivals, the Indiana Pacers. A lot of the key pieces for the Indiana Pacers will be out for this game as Tyrese Haliburton, Myles Turner, and Buddy Hield are all listed as doubtful. Meanwhile, Milwaukee is expected to be a little bit more healthy for this clash on Thursday evening at home. As they will be without Grayson Allen and Brook Lopez. As long as Giannis is on the court, then Milwaukee has a good shot at winning and that is exactly what I expect in this game.

Orlando Magic @ Phoenix Suns – 10pm ET
My first pick for this game is for the likely rookie of the year award winner in the former number one overall draft pick Paolo Banchero. He is putting up almost unheard of numbers for a rookie as he is the leading scorer for the Orlando Magic and averages around 20 points per game on the season. I expect him to have another solid performance in this game as they had to Phoenix to play the Phoenix Suns on Thursday evening. If Banchero can leave them to a victory in this game, then Orlando could potentially have a legitimate shot at sneaking into one of the last play-in spots with only about three weeks left in the regular season. I look for Banchero to go over his total points in this game.
My second pick for this game is for the Phoenix Suns Devin Booker. He is arguably one of the most underrated offensive players in the entire league. He has shown before that he can score in bunches, and has no problem lighting up the scoreboard when he is the main scorer for a team. Now with superstars like Deandre Ayton and Kevin Durant around him, and only further opens up the floor for Devin Booker, which leads to better opportunities, and likely more scoring. Which is why he leads the team with 28 points per game on the year and I expect him to exceed that and go over his total points in this game against the Orlando Magic on Thursday.
