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.

Los Angeles Lakers to win by 10+ points – Boosted from +320 to +425 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need the Los Angeles Lakers to beat the Philadelphia 76ers by at least 10 points. The Lakers have clearly had their struggles this season and as a result are hovering around .500 and are just barely in the Western Conference playoff picture. They are coming off a 10-point win against the Brooklyn Nets, though the Nets had neither Kevin Durant or Kyrie Irving available. The Lakers still have LeBron James leading the charge, so despite their struggles, this prop looks to be worth a small play as the Lakers look to get back over .500 for the season.

D’Angelo Russell & Andrew Wiggins to combine for 40+ points – Boosted from +170 to +190 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop needs D’Angelo Russell of the Timberwolves and Andrew Wiggins of the Warriors to combine for at least 40 points tonight. Russell is averaging 19.1 points per game, while Wiggins is averaging 18.1 points per game. Their combined averages fall short of the number we will need, but Russell has scored at least 22 points in each of his last 3 games, while Wiggins is averaging 23.5 points per game against the Timberwolves this season. Big games should be in store for both guys, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Jack Hughes to record 2+ points – Boosted from +370 to +450 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop focuses on Jack Hughes from the New Jersey Devils and he will need to record at least 2 points tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Hughes has a total of only 24 points this season, though, and they may be hard to come by against a solid Lightning defense. Hughes does have 5 multi-point games this season, but staying away from this prop looks to be the best option because of who the opponent is.

Rafael Nadal to win 3-0 in sets vs Matteo Berrettini – Boosted from +260 to +340 with FanDuel Sportsbook

We are down to the semifinals at the Australian Open and this match will see Rafael Nadal take on Matteo Berrettini for the chance to play in the finals. Nadal has won 3 of his 5 matches in this tournament in straight sets, but Berrettini has the ability to push him. Berrettini has beaten 3 seeded players so far, which should give him some confidence when going up against one of the best. Nadal won his only head-to-head match with Berrettini in 2019 in straight sets, but Berrettini looks to be a better player now. For that reason, this prop should likely be avoided.
