We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which today are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. Let’s take a look at whether or not they are worth playing:

James Harden to record a triple-double – Boosted from +120 to +135 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need James Harden to record a triple-double against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This will be Harden’s debut for the 76ers, so he will immediately being looking to prove he was worth trading for. It has been awhile since Harden has actually played a game, but with a new team in what might be a better environment, Harden could very well cash this prop. He is averaging 22.5 points, 10.2 assists, and 8.0 rebounds per game. That is just a few rebounds off from averaging a triple-double, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Luka Doncic to record 60+ points/rebounds/assists – Boosted from +400 to +475 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Luka Doncic to record a combined 60 points/rebounds/assists against the Utah Jazz. He is averaging 27.5 points per game, 9.2 rebounds per game and 9.0 assists per game. That is well short of the number we need so while Doncic is likely to have another big game, avoiding this prop still looks to be the best option.

Patrick Kane & Jack Hughes to combine for 2+ goals – Boosted from +400 to +475 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need Patrick Kane and Jack Hughes to combine for at least 2 goals when they play each other tonight. Kane has just 13 goals this season, and did not score against New Jersey in the lone meeting earlier this season. Hughes only has 14 goals himself, but in the 1 meeting with the Blackhawks, he scored 2 times. Hughes has 2 goals in 3 games since returning from the All-Star Break and Kane scored in the most recent game, so a small play on this prop looks to be worth it.

Islam Makhachev to Win by Submission in Round 1 OR Round 2 vs Bobby Green – Boosted from +190 to +250 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Islam Makhachev to beat Bobby Green by submission is Round 1 or 2 tomorrow night at UFC Fight Night 202. The majority of Makhachev’s wins have come by submission (10) and decision (8), which is why our experts like him to win by one of these methods. He has won his last 3 UFC fights by submission, while Green has lost twice by submission in his career. Makhachev has been too good on the ground to not believe this one will turn into a grappling match, making this prop worth a small play.
