Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
Joel Embiid 25+ points and Philadelphia 76ers to win – Boosted from +175 to +200 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop we will need Joel Embiid to record at least 25 points and the Philadelphia 76ers to beat the Boston Celtics. Embiid was fantastic last season, averaging 30.6 points per game. That was the best in the NBA, and he will be looking to start the new season with a huge game against the Celtics. In 4 games against the Celtics last season, Embiid averaged 24.5 points, but he recorded at least 25 points or more in 2 of the 4 games. Our experts like the 76ers to cover tonight, however; a win is certainly not out of the question especially if Embiid has a monster game. For that reason backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

LeBron James 4+ threes made – Boosted from +200 to +250 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need LeBron James to make at least 4 threes tonight against the Golden State Warriors. James has always been a decent 3-point shooter and last year he made his threes 35.9% of the time. In 3 games against the Warriors last season, he shot 14 of 32 from 3-point range (43.8%). He made at least 4 threes in 2 of the 3 games, and with this being the first game of the new season, I expect James to come out firing from all over the court. For that reason backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Bryce Harper 1+ hit and the Philadelphia Phillies to win – Boosted from +135 to +160 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop we will need Bryce Harper to record at least 1 hit and the Philadelphia Phillies to beat the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of the NLCS. Harper has been lights out in the postseason so far, posting an average of .435 through 6 games. He is 10 for 23 at the plate and has recorded at least 1 hit in 5 of the 6 games, and has recorded a hit in 5 games straight. Our experts would lean to the Padres, however; the Phillies have been red hot and the more consistent offense. For that reason backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.
