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.
Giannis Antetokounmpo to score 30+ points, 15+ rebounds and the Milwaukee Bucks to win – Boosted from +170 to +200 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we need Giannis Antetokounmpo to score at least 30 points, record 15 rebounds and for the Milwaukee Bucks to close out the series against the Chicago Bulls in Game 5 tonight. Antetokounmpo is averaging 27.5 points per game through the first 4 games, but in a close-out situation, we should likely expect more from him. Antetokounmpo is also averaging 14.5 rebounds per game in the series, but in 3 of the 4 games, he has had at least 16 or more boards. The Bucks are at home for Game 5, where Antetokounmpo is averaging 30 points and 17 rebounds in the playoffs. He will need this type of performance to eliminate a Bulls team that has been scrappy at times, but has proved to be overmatched.

Stephen Curry to score 30+ points and the Golden State Warriors to win – Boosted from +140 to +160 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop needs Stephen Curry to score at least 30 points in Game 5 and for the Golden State Warriors to close out their series against the Denver Nuggets. Curry is averaging 27.5 points per game in the series, and has scored at least 30 points in 2 of the 4 games. He played better in the road games this series, but is averaging 25 points in the 2 games he has played at home. With this being a high spread for an elimination game, our experts like the Nuggets to cover in this game. However, the Warriors have torched the Nuggets for majority of the series, so backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Nikola Jokic to score 25+ points and the Denver Nuggets to win – Boosted from +350 to +470 with PointsBet Sportsbook
Similar to the prop with Stephen Curry and the Warriors, this prop needs Nikola Jokic to score at least 25 points and the Denver Nuggets to survive another game to extend the series. Nikola Jokic is averaging 31.3 points per game this series, and has easily surpassed this number in all 4 of the games. He has been held to 25.5 points per game in the 2 road games, compared to scoring 37 points per game in the games played in Denver. Our experts like Denver to cover, but a Warriors’ win is likely. Backing this prop as a hedge to the Warriors winning could be worth a small play.
