We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are from PointsBet Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook today. We will discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to each score 25+ points and the Brooklyn Nets to win – Boosted from +240 to +300 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to each score at least 25 points tonight and the Brooklyn Nets will need to win in Game 4 tonight against the Boston Celtics. Durant has had his struggles this season, averaging 22.0 points per game in the series. He had his worst game of the series in Game 3, only managing to score 16 points. Irving has also had his struggles in the series, averaging 21.7 points per game. After his 39-point Game 1, he scored 10 points in Game 2 and 16 in Game 3. Our experts do like the Nets to win this game, but either Durant or Irving is likely going to struggle against what has been the best defense in the NBA. For that reason, avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

Joel Embiid to score 35+ points and the Philadelphia 76ers to win – Boosted from +350 to +415 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Joel Embiid to score at least 35 points and the Philadelphia 76ers will need to beat the Toronto Raptors in Game 5 tonight. Through 4 games, Embiid is averaging 26.0 points per game. He is coming off a 21-point performance in Game 4, a game in which the 76ers lost. Embiid has actually not managed to surpass 35 points in any game this season with his highest scoring total having been 33 points in Game 3. Our experts actually like the Raptors to cover in this game, but being back at home, the 76ers are likely to close out the series. For that to happen, Embiid is likely going to need to have his best game of the series, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Crystal Palace to Win & Both Teams to Score – Boosted from +310 to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook
For this prop we will need Crystal Palace to win this afternoon against Leeds United and both teams will need to score. Leeds recently brought in Jesse Marsch to take over for Marcelo Bielsa at manager, though defense is still a glaring issue. Leeds’ last 5 games have produced a total of 16 goals, so there is likely to be scoring in this game. Crystal Palace’s FA Cup run ended against Chelsea, but they have been more formidable in home games, beating Everton 4-0 and Arsenal 3-0 most recently. Our experts like the over 2.5 goals in this match and with Leeds still having defensive issues and Crystal Palace being better in home games, backing this prop is worth a play.
