We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are from PointsBet Sportsbook today. We will discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Jimmy Butler to score 30+ points and the Miami Heat to win – Boosted from +240 to +290 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Jimmy Butler to score at least 30 points and the Miami Heat will need to win the game and win the series against the Atlanta Hawks. After a Game 3 loss, the Miami Heat bounced back strong in Game 4 to to take back control of this series.

They now have the opportunity to finish off the Hawks at home, and to do so Butler will probably have to have game. Butler is averaging 30.5 points per game through the first 4 games of the series. He has scored at least 30 points in 2 of the 4 games, including a Game 4 win where he scored 36 points. The Hawks really have not been able to slow down Butler at all this series, so we should expect him to score at least 30 points. Our experts do like the Hawks to keep this game somewhat close, but a Miami win is likely so backing this prop is worth a play.

Ja Morant to outscore Karl-Anthony Towns and the Memphis Grizzlies to win – Boosted from -135 to +100 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Ja Morant to outscore Karl-Anthony Towns in Game 5 and the Memphis Grizzlies to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Our experts do like the Grizzlies to bounce back in a big way with a win and cover, so backing this prop is worth a play.
