We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. We will discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
CJ McCollum & Paul George to combine for 50+ points – Boosted from +140 to +155 with DraftKings Sportsbook
This prop will need CJ McCollum and Paul George to combine for at least 50 points. McCollum is averaging 22.6 points per game, while George is averaging 24.9 points per game. In 3 games against the Clippers, McCollum is averaging just 15.7 points per game, whereas, George is averaging 23.0 points in 2 games against the Pelicans. George is averaging 28.0 points so far in April through 2 games, while McCollum is coming off a 32-point game against the Lakers in a crucial win. With this game also being crucial in terms of the playoffs, backing this prop is worth a small play.

New York Islanders to Win The 1st Period vs the New Jersey Devils (Ties Lose) – Boosted from +150 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook
For this prop we will need the New York Islanders to beat the New Jersey Devils in the 1st period. Only a win will get the job here, as ties will be recorded as a loss. The Islanders have generally struggled in the 1st period this season in terms of scoring. They have scored a total of 55 1st period goals, which averages out to 0.82 per game and ranks 22nd in the NHL. New Jersey on the other hand, is 9th in the NHL in 1st period goals with 66 goals. That averages out to 0.97 goals per game in the opening period.
While the Islanders have struggled to score early goals, they are very good defensively in the 1st period. New York has allowed 55 1st period goals, and ranks 8th in the NHL. New Jersey on the other hand, ranks 29th in allowing 1st period goals, allowing 75 on the season, an average of 1.10 goals per game.
The lack of 1st-period offense can be made up by the fact that Islanders are playing a very poor defensive team. For that reason, backing New York to have the lead after the first 20 minutes is more than worth a play here.

LeBron James and Nikola Jokic Each to Score 25+ Points and Total Points 235+ – Boosted from +210 to +320 with FanDuel Sportsbook
This prop will need LeBron James and Nikola Jokic to each score 25 points tonight and there will need to be at least 235 total points in the game. James is averaging 30.3 points per game, while Jokic is averaging 26.6 points per game. Even though both players look poised to have a big day at the office, our experts are expecting there to be enough defense to keep this game under the total. For that reason, this prop should likely be avoided.
