NBA Parlay Picks for Friday, December 12, 2025

By: Kim Smith Published 12/12/2025, 03:30 AM ET

The NBA is in the middle of the mid-season tournament, but that does not mean on the off days that the NBA doesn't have games. That is exactly what we have on Friday 12/12/25 and that has made it easier for us to find a great 2 leg NBA parlay for today.

Check out our parlays, as well as all of our NBA picks.

NBA Parlay

  • Pacers vs 76ers – 76ers -7.5 (-110)
  • Nets vs Mavericks – Mavericks -7.5 (-110)

Leg 1 – Indiana Pacers vs Philadelphia 76ers

The Pacers have won two straight, but the underlying numbers still tell the story of a team that ranks near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Indiana allows 118.8 points per game, struggles in half-court defensive sets, and is missing several key rotational pieces, including Ben Sheppard, Aaron Nesmith, and Obi Toppin.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, is expected to have both Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey available, and that completely changes the ceiling of their offense. Maxey is averaging 31.5 PPG, and the Sixers are scoring 116.9 PPG, nearly six points higher than Indiana.

At home, the 76ers are much more reliable, and Indiana’s 1–10 road record highlights how poorly they perform away from home. Philly also comes in with momentum after wins over Milwaukee, Washington, and Golden State in three of their last four.

This matchup favors Philadelphia in pace, scoring efficiency, and depth. Check out the full Pacers vs 76ers pick.

Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -7.5

Leg 2 – Brooklyn Nets vs Dallas Mavericks

Brooklyn has won four of its last six, but this team still ranks near the bottom of the league in scoring defense, giving up 117.2 PPG while struggling to rebound and defend the perimeter. With Cam Thomas and Haywood Highsmith still out, the Nets lack secondary scoring behind Michael Porter Jr.

Dallas has quietly turned a corner. The Mavericks have won three of their last four — including victories over Miami and Denver — while scoring 111.8 PPG. Rookie standout Cooper Flagg continues his steady rise, and the Mavs have been more consistent at home, even without Kyrie Irving and Dereck Lively.

The biggest edge comes from Brooklyn’s defense, which allows opponents to shoot nearly 49%. That matches up well for a Dallas team that thrives in high-efficiency shooting games, especially at the American Airlines Center.

Dallas is in the better current form, has the deeper bench available, and has been far stronger against sub-.500 teams. Check out the full Nets vs Mavericks pick.

Pick: Dallas Mavericks -7.5
