We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing.
Ja Morant & Joel Embiid to combine for 60+ points – Boosted from +100 to +110 with DraftKings Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Ja Morant and Joel Embiid to combine for at least 60 points. Morant is averaging 26.1 points per game for the Grizzlies this season, while Embiid is averaging 29.1 points per game for the 76ers. These averages combined come up a bit short, but the recent form for both players would suggest this is still a bet worth taking. In January alone, Embiid is averaging 34 points per game. That stretch includes a game in which he dropped 50 points and he has scored at least 30 in all but 2 games this month.
Morant has also has a solid January, averaging 28.6 points per game, and he has scored 30 or more points in 6 straight games. Both of these guys have been absolutely red hot and that should not change even when they are facing each other tonight. Look for Embiid and Morant to both have huge games, making this prop worth a bet.

Jaylen Brown & Jayson Tatum to record 55+ combined points – Boosted from +165 to +185 with DraftKings Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need the Celtics’ Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum to combine for at least 55 points. Brown is averaging 24.3 points per game, while Tatum is averaging 26.2. Tatum is coming off some great performances, scoring at least 36 points in 3 of his last 4 games. This stretch also includes a game in which he dropped 51 points on the Wizards. Brown has also scored 30 points in 2 of the last 4 games, so they should be in store for another big game tonight. Pair that with Miami having just played a triple-overtime game against the Raptors and Brown and Tatum should be able to take full advantage of a tired Heat team. For that reason, this prop certainly looks to be worth a play.

Dylan Larkin to record 2+ points – Boosted from +325 to +360 with DraftKings Sportsbook
This prop focuses on Dylan Larkin from the Detroit Red Wings and we will need him to record at least 2 points against the Anaheim Ducks. Larkin is having a solid season, totaling 41 points so far. He is 10th in the NHL with 22 goals and also has 19 assists. Larkin is coming off a 3-point game against the Maple Leafs, his 12th multi-point game this season. He did not record a point the last time the Red Wings played the Ducks, but backing this prop still looks to be worth a small play after a few solid performances recently.
