There are plenty of sports going on tonight with the NHL playoffs, NBA playoffs and a decent-sized baseball slate. There look to be plenty of promotions and boosts on offer from sportsbooks. But which ones should you look to capitalize on?

We’ve put together a list of all of the day’s best boosts, which happen to all be from DraftKings Sportsbook today and whether they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving Both to Score 25+ Points (was +272, now +305), DraftKings Sportsbook

Probably one of the best duos in the NBA right now will look to start this year’s playoffs fast when the Brooklyn Nets host the Boston Celtics. Boston has technically played one playoff game already in the play-in tournament, but this Nets team is a different animal. These teams have played four times this year and the good news is that both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant are averaging more than 25 points against the Celtics. Durant actually only played in two of the games against Boston, but score 25 and 29 points in them. Irving is averaging 27.25 points against Boston in the four games, so it is clear that both guys could be in for a big game. We also like the Nets to win and cover in this game, so taking a shot at Durant and Irving dominating the floor is worth a bet.

Auston Matthews & Josh Anderson each to record a point & Maple Leafs to win (was +280, now +325), DraftKings Sportsbook

The Maple Leafs will look to avoid a 2-0 hole tonight and we think they can do just that. Also, while Auston Matthews did not really show up in Game 1, Josh Anderson was able to score one of the two Montreal goals. Though Matthews is far too good to be held scoreless for much longer, which is why we like him to contribute at least one point. The Canadiens do not look to be going away, so Anderson to score also looks likely. Our experts love the Maple Leafs tonight, so this odds boost is probably worth taking a shot on.

Damien Lillard to score 30+ Points and Trail Blazers Win (was +230, now +270), DraftKings Sportsbook

This offer is all about Dame Time. The Trail Blazers will open their round one series tonight at Denver and will need every bit of Lillard if they are going to go toe to toe with the Nuggets. They have already played plenty of times this season and while Lillard has not gone over 30 in any of these games, this is the playoffs. The Nuggets are also dealing with an injury to Jamal Murray so Lillard should be in for his biggest game against them so far. Our experts also like Portland to win outright, so taking a shot at this odds boost seems like a decent bet.
