Cale Makar to have more points than Roman Josi and the Colorado Avalanche to win – Boosted from +100 to +115 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop needs Cale Makar for the Colorado Avalanche to record more points than Roman Josi for the Nashville Predators and for the Avalanche to win the game. The Avalanche are by far the best team in the Western Conference, having already clinched the #1 seed, but they can still catch the Florida Panthers for the best record in the NHL. Makar has 85 points on the season, while Josi has 93 points on the season.
The only difference is that Makar has 6 points against the Predators this season in 2 games, while Josi has 4 points against the Avalanche in 3 games. Josi has been better than Makar recently, recording 12 points in his last 13 games, while Makar has 10 points in his last 12. Even though Josi has more points during this stretch, Makar and the Avalanche have a superior offense, which should give him more opportunities to pick up points. This could be tight, but backing this prop does look to be worth a lean because of the success Makar has had against Nashville.

Luka Doncic to score 30+ points and the Dallas Mavericks to win – Boosted from +155 to +180 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop needs Luka Doncic to score at least 30 points tonight in Game 6 against the Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks to win the game. Doncic did not play the first 3 games of this series due to injury, but in Game 4 he scored 30 points and he got 33 in Game 5. He is averaging 31.5 points per game in the series and is likely going to have similar success in Game 6. Our experts like the Mavericks to win tonight and to clinch the series, so backing Doncic to continue playing at an elite level is worth a play in this game.

Brandon Ingram or DeAndre Ayton to score the first basket – Boosted from +220 to +270 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Brandon Ingram or DeAndre Ayton to score the first basket in Game 6 tonight in New Orleans. In the 5 games so far, Ingram scored the first basket in Game 2 and DeAndre Ayton scored the first basket in Game 5. They are both having a big series, especially Ingram, who is averaging 28.2 points through the first 5 games. Ayton is a huge presence inside the paint, while Ingram has the mid-range jumper plus the ability to drive to the basket. Both the Pelicans and Suns will be hoping to get their stars off to a good start, therefore backing this prop is worth a small lean.
