The NBA Finals start tonight, plus the Euro 2020 semi-finals are here and there’s a decent-sized MLB slate. There are plenty of promotions and boosts on offer from sportsbooks, but which ones should you look to capitalize on?
We’ve put together a list of all of the day’s best boosts, which happen to be from DraftKings Sportsbook, William Hill Sportsbook and PointsBet Sportsbook, and whether they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
White Sox and Red Sox both to win (Boosted to +270), DraftKings Sportsbook
There is plenty of MLB action tonight, but we are going to focus on the White Sox and the Red Sox. The White Sox will be playing the Minnesota Twins and will have Carlos Rodon on the mound. That alone is enough to believe they can get the job done. As for Boston, they will have Nathan Eovaldi pitching against Shohei Ohtani. Even though Ohtani is a menace at the plate, his recent start on the mound suggests that Boston could have plenty of success. For that reason, this is an odds boost that looks to be worth a play. Be sure to check out our picks on the side and total for all of tonight’s MLB matchups.

Khris Middleton to score 30+ points (Boosted to +170), DraftKings Sportsbook
Khris Middleton will likely need to be the go-to scorer for the Bucks tonight with their best player likely sitting out. Middleton has shown more than once that he can get extremely hot from the field and just not miss. The Suns will likely have a gameplan to slow him down, but if the Bucks have any chance to win Game 1, Middleton is going to need to have a monster game. For that reason, this is an odds boost that I like. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Devin Booker to score 30+ points and the Suns to win (Boosted to +190), PointsBet Sportsbook
Our experts already really like the Suns to win tonight, especially with the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo is likely not going to play. Even if he does play, we should expect him to be limited. Devin Booker is one of the Suns’ top scorers and that should not change tonight. Unless the Bucks play some elite defense on him, getting to 30 points should not be a huge issue for Booker. For that reason, this is another odds boost that I like. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Chris Paul over 40.5 points + assists (Boosted to +360), William Hill Sportsbook
The success of the Suns has been reliant on Chris Paul this season and his ability to hit mid-range jumpers, while also dishing out assists at a high level. His shooting numbers were not even the best in the series with the Clippers and then he dropped 41 in the deciding Game 6. We should expect another big game from Paul, who will be looking for his first ever NBA title. For that reason, I believe this odds boost is also worth a play. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Suns to win by 20+ points (Boosted to +750), William Hill Sportsbook
Asking the Suns to win is one thing, but asking them to win by 20-plus points seems like a bit too much. Even if Giannis Antetokounmpo does not suit up, the Bucks are still extremely talented and should not be taken lightly. Khris Middleton has proved he can step up big time, so this appears to be an odds boost to avoid. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Bucks and Italy both win (Boosted to +700), William Hill Sportsbook
This is an interesting odds boost because it spans two different sports, but they both involve huge games. The Bucks will likely be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, so all of a sudden, their chances to win on the road plummet. They may have knocked out the Atlanta Hawks without their star player, but beating the Suns is a much tougher ask. As for Italy, we do like them to win their Euro 2020 semi-final against Spain because they have more of an attacking presence. This is still an odds boost I would look to avoid because of the fact that the Bucks are probably going to be missing their best player. Be sure to check out our full game previews for the NBA Finals and the first Euro 2020 semi-final.
