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.

Matthew Stafford to record 350+ passing yards – Boosted from +550 to +600 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop focuses on Rams QB Matthew Stafford and we will need him to throw for at least 350+ yards against the Cardinals tonight. Stafford is averaging 287.4 passing yards per game and has surpassed 350+ yards in only 1 game this season. In 2 games against the Cardinals, he is averaging 283.5 passing yards per game, so that is more likely the result for the game tonight. He could reach 300 yards, but 350+ feels a bit too high. For that reason, this prop is likely best avoided.

Arizona Cardinals to win the game by 7+ points – Boosted from +310 to +330 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop needs the Arizona Cardinals to beat the Los Angeles Rams by at least 7 points tonight. However, the Cardinals have lost 5 of their last 7 games and basically limped into the playoffs. Quarterback Kyler Murray has lost some offensive weapons and tends to be inconsistent. Our experts like the Rams to win and cover in this game, so avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

LeBron James to record 50+ points, rebounds & assists – Boosted from +175 to +200 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will basically need LeBron James to take over the Lakers game and record 50+ points, rebounds, and assists combined. James is averaging 28.9 points per game (2nd in the NBA), 7.5 rebounds per game and 6.5 assists per game. Based on averages alone, that would not reach the number we need. However, as we know, James can go off at pretty much any point. LA is playing the Jazz, who are a good team, but James should be able to take control of this game. He is listed as day-to-day, so keep an eye on the injury report, but this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Trae Young to record 35+ points – Boosted from +310 to +370 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop focuses on Trae Young as the Atlanta Hawks take on the Milwaukee Bucks this evening. We will need Young to record at least 35+ points and he will likely need to do this if the Hawks are going to snap their 6-game losing streak. Young is averaging 27.6 points per game (4th in the NBA) and in 1 game against the Bucks this season, he dropped 42 points in a Hawks’ win. Despite the Hawks’ defensive struggles, Young could have a big game, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

New York Islanders to win by 3+ goals – Boosted from +250 to +300 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need the New York Islanders to beat the Philadelphia Flyers by at least 3+ goals. The Islanders are already one of the worst offenses in the NHL, averaging 2.23 goals per game (30th in the NHL), compared to the Flyers, who average 2.54 goals per game (26th in the NHL). The Flyers allow 3.30 goals per game (24th in the NHL), but the struggles of the Islanders’ offense make this prop a stayaway spot.
