The first Tuesday of the 2026 NBA playoffs has a three-game slate, so there are plenty of options to choose NBA longshot picks for an NBA parlay. From first scorer props to margins of victory to predicting if a player will have a double-double or triple-double, there are a bevy of predictions one can include. Eight of the 11 postseason games thus far have been decided by double-digits, so predicting a winning margin of over 10 points could be an NBA bet that's a part of your playoff parlay.
Houston winning by 11+ points over the Lakers would return +160, while the Lakers winning by more than 10 points would net +500. Which combination of player props and NBA predictions should comprise your Tuesday NBA parlay?
