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.

Ja Morant to score 12+ points in each half and Grizzlies to win – Boosted from +125 to +145 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need Ja Morant to score at least 12 points in each half and the Grizzlies will need to win the game. Morant is averaging 25.9 points per game this season, so it is likely he is going to be able to have his way in both halves. Our experts would also lean to a Grizzlies win and cover, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

James Harden & Stephen Curry to combine for 60+ points – Boosted from +230 to +265 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will focus on Stephen Curry and James Harden. They will need to combine for at least 60 points. Curry is averaging 25.8 points per game, while Harden is averaging 23.0 points per game. Curry had been struggling from downtown, but a recent 6 for 10 game from 3-point range means his touch might be back. In 1 game against the Nets this season, Curry dropped 37 points, while Harden had 24 points. Harden has scored 33 or more in 2 of his last 3 games, so backing this prop looks to be worth a shot.

Tampa Bay Lightning to win by 3+ goals – Boosted from +240 to +290 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need the Tampa Bay Lightning to win their game tonight by at least 3 goals. This is a tough ask because they will be playing a solid Vegas Golden Knights team. Our experts do like the Lightning to win tonight, but it will likely be a close game. For that reason, this prop should likely be avoided.

Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs & Tampa Bay Lightning All To Win – Boosted from +220 to +300 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 3 NHL teams to win their games tonight. That being the Edmonton Oilers against the Montreal Canadiens, the Toronto Maple Leafs against the Detroit Red Wings and the Tampa Bay Lightning against the Vegas Golden Knights. Our experts like both the Oilers and Lightning to win their games tonight, while the Maple Leafs have a favorable match up with the Red Wings and should be able to pick up a win as well. For that reason, this parlay looks to be worth a play.

Edmonton Oilers to Score 5+ Goals vs Montreal Canadiens – Boosted from +150 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will focus on the Edmonton Oilers and we will need them to score at least 5 goals tonight against the Montreal Canadiens. The Oilers are 11th in the NHL, averaging 3.21 goals per game. The Canadiens on the other hand, are the worst defense in the NHL, allowing 3.79 goals per game. Edmonton has 2 of the best players in the league, so this prop looks to be worth a small play.
