We have put together a list of Monday’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing.
Chris Paul & Devin Booker & DeMar DeRozan to combine for 75+ points – Boosted from -105 to +110 with DraftKings Sportsbook
This odds boost focuses on the Suns vs Bulls NBA game on ESPN at 8:00 pm ET tonight. It needs 2 Suns players — Chris Paul and Devin Booker — to combine with DeMar DeRozan of the Bulls to score 75 or more points. Phoenix had scored 100+ points in 11 straight games until beating Washington 95-80 last time out, when they didn’t need to play their stars for long to get an easy win — Ayton top-scored with 20 points, playing only 24 minutes, while Paul added 14 points in 31 minutes. Ayton is averaging 16.4 points per game and Paul 14.9. Bulls star DeRozan is averaging exactly 27 points per game, but it’s asking a lot to get to 75 between the 3 players. Our handicapper for this game leans to the under with the Suns being a strong defensive team and the Bulls playing back-to-back, so this boost looks best left alone.

Kemba Walker & Mike Conley to combine for 25+ points – Boosted from -105 to +105 with DraftKings Sportsbook
This boost centers on Kemba Walker of the New York Knicks and Mike Conley of the Utah Jazz, whose teams meet at 9:00 pm ET tonight in Utah. It asks them to combine for only 25 or more points. The Knicks have been scoring fairly well despite losing 8 of their last 10 games, and Walker is averaging 11.9 points per game this scoring, but he has not scored more than 8 points in his last 7 games. Conley has a higher average at 14.3 ppg, and has scored at least 14 points in 8 of his last 9 games. Conley’s form gives this play a chance, but there will be better bets to be found at these odds.

Auston Matthews to record 3+ points – Boosted from +550 to +700 with FanDuel Sportsbook
Auston Matthews had 3 goals and an assist as the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Devils 6-4 last Monday, and bettors who think he can have another big night against the Hurricanes (7:00 pm ET, ESPN+) can take enhanced odds of +700 (boosted from +550) from DraftKings Sportsbook that he scores 3 or more points tonight. The Maple Leafs scored 20 goals in their last 3 games before the NHL’s break and has 1 point or more in 9 of his last 10 games. A high-scoring game is expected, and the odds of reward might tempt more adventurous bettors, but the Hurricanes are a strong team and another 3-pint game might be asking a little too much of Matthews.

New Jersey Devils & Toronto Maple Leafs both to win– Boosted from +270 to +350 with FanDuel Sportsbook
This odds boost from FanDuel Sportsbook also features the Maple Leafs, and our handicapper just favors the Hurricanes to win that contest. However, we do like the Devils to beat a struggling Senators squad missing some key players, so at the odds this boost could be worth a play, with the Maple Leafs likely to at least be competitive in their big game.
