We have put together a list of Friday’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing.

Joel Embiid & Luka Doncic to combine for 100+ points, rebounds, and assists – Boosted from +130 to +150 with DraftKings Sportsbook

Joel Embiid and Luka Doncic go head to head as the Mavericks host the 76ers tonight (10:00 pm ET, ESPN) and this prop needs the star players to combine for 100 or more points, rebounds, and assists in the game. Embiid is averaging 29.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game this season, which comes to 44.3, while Doncic is averaging 26 points, 8.8 rebounds and 8.9 assists, which makes 43.7 and takes their combined average PRA figure to 88. This prop required them to find another 12 between them, but our handicapper is predicting a lower-scoring game between these teams, so this prop is one that can be left alone.

Evan Mobley & Jarrett Allen to combine for 4+ blocks – Boosted from +270 to +320 with DraftKings Sportsbook

The Cavaliers have been amazing defensively this season, giving up just 102.5 points per game. This prop from DraftKings Sportsbook requires rookie Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen to combine for 4 blocks in their game against the free-scoring Charlotte Hornets tonight. The pair get way more blocks than any other Cleveland players, with Mobley averaging 1.7 and Allen 1.4, and against the fast-paced offense of the Hornets, they look worth a small play to combine for 4 at these odds.

Colorado State, Toledo & Fresno State all to win – Boosted from +150 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This 3-team college basketball parlay has received a decent boost from +150 to +200 from FanDuel Sportsbook and it required Colorado State, Toledo and Fresno State to win their games tonight. Our handicappers like the chances of Fresno State winning comfortably against Nevada, while Toledo is a worthy favorite against Ball State. We like the chances of San Diego State covering a 3.5-point handicap against Colorado State but at these odds a small play on this parlay could be worthwhile.

Sean Strickland to win by points v Jack Hermansson – Boosted from +195 to +250 with FanDuel Sportsbook

FanDuel Sportsbook is looking ahead to tomorrow’s UFC Fight Night action with this odds boost of Sean Strickland to win on points against Jack Hermansson in their middleweight bout, boosting the odds from +195 to +250. Our UFC expert really likes the chance of this fight going the distance, so taking Strickland to win on points looks a decent play.
