Potential Eastern and Western Conference Finals previews highlight the glittering 2019 Christmas Day NBA schedule, as the NBA-best Bucks (-2.5) visit the 76ers, while the Clippers (-1) play the Lakers at the Staples Center. With LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George all on the court at once, Lakers vs. Clippers could be the game of the day, but which teams should you target with your NBA picks? James Harden's Rockets finally have the upper hand on the Warriors, but Golden State has won two straight and could be competitive at home behind Draymond Green and D'Angelo Russell. Houston is favored by 10 in the latest NBA odds.
Fans everywhere will be placing NBA bets on all these showdowns, but if you're feeling truly bold on Christmas Day, SportsLine is going huge, packaging its red-hot computer model and No. 1 NBA expert on a four-team parlay that could return a massive 10-1 payout.

The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every NBA game 10,000 times, already has returned over $1,400 in profit on its top-rated NBA picks this season. It entered this week on a blistering 20-8 run on top-rated NBA picks against the spread.
At the same time, SportsLine handicapper Mike Barner is crushing sportsbooks with his own NBA picks, entering the holiday on a 33-19 run that's returned more than $1,200 to $100 bettors. Barner is the NBA specialist who recently was nominated for Basketball Writer of the Year. His work has appeared in Sports Illustrated and Yahoo, and he's been featured on ESPN Radio. Barner digs deep into NBA data, examining team trends and projecting game outcomes. That exhaustive analysis is paying off big-time at SportsLine, where he reigns as the No. 1 NBA expert.
We'll give one key part of the parlay away: Barner is backing Golden State (+10) to keep it close versus Houston. "Injuries have derailed the Warriors' season, putting them in the unfamiliar predicament of being significant underdogs on Christmas," Barner told SportsLine. "If there is a silver lining, it's that they at least have D'Angelo Russell and Draymond Green back. Although their record is bad, the Warriors are 6-7-1 against the spread at home. Expect the Rockets to win this game, but on the big stage, the Warriors will remain competitive enough to where I like taking the points."
Confidently lock the Warriors, who got 30 points and four assists from Russell last time out, into your NBA parlays and you could be well on your way to a colossal payoff.
The model generated strong picks on Clippers vs. Lakers and Pelicans vs. Nuggets, plus Barner identified a surprising angle that has him going big on one side of the Bucks vs. 76ers spread.
