    Best Parlay bets: There’s no substitute for young legs in dealing with the grind of the NBA regular season, but Erik Spoelstra was forced to play James, Wade and Bosh about 40 minutes each last night. Expect a big game tonight from Anthony, if for no other reason to impress the Knicks (supposedly still in the trade talks). Liking Denver getting 2.5.

In the opener, Oklahoma City and Orlando are both coming off road games, but the Magic managed just 89 points in an overtime loss in New Orleans and may be starting to feel the effects of a busy schedule. Tonight’s game will be their 6th in 11 days. Thunder should win this one.
