We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. Let’s take a look at whether or not they are worth playing.
Kirill Kaprizov to record 2+ points – Boosted from +150 to +170 with DraftKings Sportsbook
For this prop, we need Kirill Kaprizov of the Minnesota Wild to record at least 2 points against the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are known for their offense, not their defense, so it seems likely that the Wild are going to have plenty of chances to score. Kaprizov is 7th in the NHL with 61 total points this season. Of those points, 23 are goals and 38 are assists. He has recorded 2 or more points in 3 straight games, so backing him to do the same tonight looks to be worth a play.

Michael McDowell to finish in the top 10 in Daytona 500 – Boosted from +100 to +120 with DraftKings Sportsbook
The Daytona 500 takes place this afternoon and is sure to be a race to remember. For this prop we will need Michael McDowell to finish in the top 10. McDowell won this race last year after being +6600, so there is no reason he can not be in the mix this year. He leads this field in laps completed over the last 5 Daytona 500s and has a rich history of finishing in the top 10. For that reason, this looks to be a prop well worth backing.

Austin Dillon, Ty Dillon, Kurt Busch, or Kyle Busch to win the Daytona 500 – Boosted from +290 to +350 with DraftKings Sportsbook
For this prop, we need Austin Dillon, Ty Dillon, Kurt Busch or Kyle Busch to win the Daytona 500. Austin Dillon won this race in 2018, while his brother, Ty has never won. Austin will start 36th, while Ty is 26th on the grid.
As for the Busch brothers, Kurt won this race in 2017 and will start 17th. Kyle has never won this race and will start 10th. As good as these drivers are, their starting positions seems a little worrying, so avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, and Stephen Curry to combine for 100+ points – Boosted from +200 to +300 with FanDuel Sportsbook
The NBA All-Star Game is tonight and as always, it will be filled with the best players in the league. For this prop, we will need LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Joel Embiid, and Stephen Curry to combine for at least 100 points. We know that the All-Star Game is not usually taken very seriously, meaning there is likely to be essentially no defense. All 4 of these guys will need to average 25 points, which is very obtainable given there might be a lot of 1 vs 1 basketball being played. It is possible that as this game goes on, the effort level will drop off, but these are guys who want to win regardless of what kind of game it is. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a play.
