SportsLine model locks 3-leg NBA parlay for Jan. 20 that pays +862

Cbssports reports that SportsLine's projection model has locked a three-leg parlay for Tuesday, Jan. 20's NBA slate that would return +862 if it hits.

The Tuesday schedule features seven contests and is highly competitive: six of the seven games have lines under 5 points, per the latest NBA odds. Noted matchups include 76ers vs. Suns (+1.5), Rockets vs. Spurs (+4.5) and Lakers vs. Nuggets (+2.5). The Clippers, on a six-game win streak, are 3.5-point underdogs at the Bulls, with Kawhi Leonard (knee) not available cited as a factor; the Bulls could also get back Josh Giddey (questionable, hamstring) after missing the last three weeks, the report said.

SportsLine simulates every game 10,000 times and says its model has returned well over $10,000 in betting profit for $100 players on top-rated NBA picks over the past eight-plus seasons. The model also enters Week 14 of the 2025-26 NBA season on a 35-15 roll on top-rated spread picks dating back to last season.

The model's locked selections include the Timberwolves (-12.5) to cover at the Jazz in a 9 p.m. ET tipoff; Minnesota is projected to score about a dozen more points than its average and covers in over 60% of simulations, the model says, citing Utah's defensive struggles and a rest disadvantage. The model has two other picks, including an A-rated underdog money-line selection, and the full parlay and picks are available only at SportsLine.
