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.

Manchester City to score 2+ goals and win – Boosted from +135 to +150 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop needs Manchester City to score at least 2 goals and to win against Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal. City scored 2 goals in 11 minutes in the first leg and went on to win 4-3. Wednesday’s second is sure to be tight too. Real Madrid has Karim Benzema, one of the best goalscorers in the world who added 2 more to his tally in last week’s game. Our experts would lean to this game ending in a tie, but this should be an open game due to the fact that Real Madrid must win. For that reason, backing this prop still looks to be worth a small play.

James Harden to score 25+ points and the Philadelphia 76ers to win – Boosted from +550 to +750 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop needs James Harden to score at least 25 points and the Philadelphia 76ers to beat the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Missing Joel Embiid proved to be a big loss as expected as the 76ers were dominated by the Heat in Game 1. Harden managed to score just 16 points on 5 of 13 shooting and unless something drastically changes, I do not see Harden having a huge game. The 76ers look inferior right now without their big man, while the Heat are starting to look like a real title contender. Our experts lean towards the Heat to cover a near double-digit spread and to take a 2-0 lead in the series, so backing this prop should likely be avoided.

Luka Doncic to score 30+ points and the Dallas Mavericks to win – Boosted from +270 to +340 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Luka Doncic to score at least 30 points and the Dallas Mavericks to beat the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals. Doncic was able to have a huge Game 1, scoring 45 points in a losing effort. He is likely going to have to have a similar game tonight if the Mavericks even hope to tie this series. However, the Suns looked too strong right now and are clicking on all cylinders. Our experts would lean towards another win for the Suns and we like them to cover as well, therefore this prop should be avoided.
