Gambling911.com takes a look at today's parlay bets with potential in the NBA (December 18, 2019). This analysis focuses on teams NOT to include in your parlay.

Heat vs. 76ers
A great one on tap today as these teams have nearly identical records (Heat 19-8, 76ers 20-8). Both are exceeding expectations this season.
With Philadelphia having won four of the last five home games in this series, we immediately count out Miami here. Philadelphia has also won six of the last seven meetings.
Both teams are coming into this game off a loss and having won 7 or 8 of their last ten overall.
Miami is also on the last game of a three-game road trip.
Philadelphia, however, is pricey at -315.
Pistons vs. Raptors
Detroit has won the last two home games in this series with another of the last four going into overtime. As such, Toronto is not a good bet playing in Detroit.
Toronto is the better team here so tough to back Detroit.
We'll pass on this one.
Grizzlies vs. Thunder
OKC is a "must have" in your NBA parlay with Memphis 1-9 in the series. They won the last game against the Thunder. That one was at home.
Memphis has won their last two games overall. Oklahoma City have won six of their last ten overall. The Grizzlies have won three straight only once so far this season.
The Thunder can be gotten at -248.
Pelicans vs. Timberwolves
New Orleans is in desperation mode and they proved this last night with a near win against the Nets in OT. They've lost twelve straight.
Minnesota has won their last four home games versus New Orleans and the Pelicans should be exhausted after last night's valiant effort.
Granted, the T-Wolves are just 3-9 at home.
They have lost seven straight and the Pelicans may just be the cure.
Taking the T-Wolves at -400 ain't happening though.
Magic vs. Nuggets
Denver has won the last three home games in this series and seven straight against Orlando.
Denver is pricey at -443 but worth throwing in a three-team parlay
Celtics vs. Mavs
This promises to be another great game. Boston only has one loss at home but is 7-6 on the road. Dallas has actually played better on the road however with just two losses compared to an 8-6 record at home.
Boston has won six of the last seven and they are hungry for a win coming into this game with two straight losses. They haven't lost three straight yet this season.
Dallas has played so well though of late.
Throw the Celtics into a four-team parlay at -126
