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.
Lionel Messi to score the first goal – Boosted from +330 to +375 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Lionel Messi to score the first goal against Poland. Argentina started this World Cup with a loss to Saudi Arabia, but quickly bounced back with a win against Mexico. Now needing a win to guarantee advancing to the Round of 16, Argentina will need Messi to be at his best. Messi has opened the scoring in both games played so far, therefore backing him to do so in the final group stage match looks to be worth a small play.

Tage Thompson 1+ point and Buffalo Sabres to win – Boosted from +175 to +200 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Tage Thompson to record at least 1 point and the Buffalo Sabres will need to beat the Detroit Red Wings tonight. Thompson has recorded 28 points this season, which is tied for the 10th most in the NHL. He has 14 goals and 14 assists, so he has been able to provide a ton of offense for his team thus far. Thompson is coming off a game where he recorded 2 points against the Tampa Bay Lightning and now has 6 points over his last 4 games.
In the only meeting with the Red Wings this season, Thompson recorded 6 points, which led to a Sabres’ win. He should be able to provide more offense tonight, and even though the Sabres have struggled recently, this looks to be a game they can win. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Dylan Larkin to score 1+ goal and Detroit Red Wings to win – Boosted from +260 to +280 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need Dylan Larkin to score at least 1 goal and the Detroit Red Wings will need to beat the Buffalo Sabres tonight. Larkin has scored 9 goals this season, which is tied for the most on the Red Wings. Larkin has scored 2 goals in his last 4 games, and in the only meeting with the Sabres, he scored a goal. That game was ultimately a loss for the Red Wings, so while Larkin may be a good candidate to score tonight, a Red Wings win may be unlikely. Our previous prop that involves the Sabres winning and a point being recorded by Tage Thompson looks to be worth a play, so also backing this prop could be worth a small play in order to have a prop bet on both sides of this game.
