We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing.

Jaylen Brown to make 4+ 3-pointers – Boosted from +175 to +200 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop needs Jaylen Brown to make at least 4 3-pointers tonight for the Boston Celtics against the Atlanta Hawks. Brown is averaging 2.9 3-pointers made per game this season, but has made at least 4 in each of his last 2 games. The Hawks are 20th in the NBA in 3-point defense, allowing their opponents to shoot an average of 35.6% from downtown. Because of this poor defense, backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Giannis Antetokounmpo to combine for 50+ points, rebounds & assists – Boosted from +290 to +350 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will focus on Giannis Antetokoumpo as his Bucks team takes on the New York Knicks tonight. We will need him to combine for at least 50 points, rebounds and assists. Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.6 points per game, 11.2 rebounds per game and 6 assists per game. While these averages combined falls a little short of the number we need, there is still reason to back a big game tonight from Antetokounmpo. It is true that he has not exactly been great against the Knicks this season, averaging 20 points against them in 3 meetings, but the Knicks are not playing great basketball at the moment, and he may be able to take over this game. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Sidney Crosby to score a goal – Boosted from +140 to +170 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop focuses on Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins and needs him to score a goal tonight against the Detroit Red Wings. Crosby has just 11 goals this season, but has 497 in his career and is chasing the 500-goal milestone. While he may not get a hat-trick tonight and reach 500, asking him to score against the Red Wings is more than reasonable. The Red Wings are just not a great team this season and their defense is lacking at times, so backing Crosby to score and to get at least 1 goal closer to 500 is worth a play tonight.

Colorado Avalanche, Boston Bruins & Dallas Stars all to win – Boosted from +240 to +320 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 3 NHL teams to win their games tonight: the Colorado Avalanche against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Boston Bruins against the Arizona Coyotes and the Dallas Stars against the Washington Capitals. Our experts like both the Bruins and Avalanche to win on the puck line, and we also are confident in a Stars win against the Capitals. For that reason, this parlay looks to be worth a shot.
