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.

Anthony Davis and LeBron James score 25+ points each and the Los Angeles Lakers to win – Boosted from +475 to +525 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need both LeBron James and Anthony Davis to score at least 25 points and the Los Angeles Lakers will need to be the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. James is averaging 25.8 points per game, while Davis is averaging 27.3 points per game. James has 10 games this season where he scored at least 25 points, and Davis has 13 games of scoring at least 25 points. Both James and Davis scoring will likely not be the issue tonight, but the Lakers winning could be. Our experts do like the Lakers to cover, so with Davis posting elite numbers recently, backing this prop looks to be worth a lean. Keep in mind that both James and Davis are probable in this game, so keep an eye on the injury report before playing this prop.

Joel Embiid 25+ points, 10+ rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers to win – Boosted from +220 to +250 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Joel Embiid to score at least 25 points, record at least 10 rebounds and the Philadelphia 76ers will need to beat the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. Embiid is averaging 31.9 points per game this season, and 9.6 rebounds per game. Embiid has scored at least 25 points in 14 games this season, while he has recorded at least 10 rebounds in 9 games. Our experts do like the Lakers to cover, however; a 76ers win is still the most likely result because of Embiid. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a play.

Erik Karlsson 2+ points and the San Jose Sharks to win – Boosted from +220 to +250 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Erik Karlsson to record at least 2 points and the San Jose Sharks will need to beat the Anaheim Ducks tonight. Karlsson has 35 points this season, tied for the 8th most in the NHL. He has 11 goals and 24 assists. He has recorded at least 1 point in each of the last 3 games, but his last game with at least 2 points was back in November. In 2 meetings with the Ducks this season, Karlsson has recorded a total of 5 points, which includes 4 points in 1 game. The Sharks lost both of those meetings with the Ducks, however; both games were toss ups. For that reason, backing this prop looks to be worth a small field.
