We have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are from DraftKings Sportsbook and FanDuel Sportsbook. We’ll discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Evan Mobley & Bam Adebayo to combine for 3+ blocks – Boosted from +130 to +150 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop needs Evan Mobley of the Cavs and Bam Adebayo of the Heat to combine for at least 3 blocks tonight. Mobley is averaging 1.7 blocks per game, while Adebayo is averaging 0.9 blocks per game. Adebayo does have 1 block in each of his last 2 games, and is averaging 1.6 over his last 10 games. In 2 games against the Heat, Mobley is averaging 2 blocks per game, so this prop looks to be worth a small play.

RJ Barrett & Ja Morant to combine for 4+ 3-pointers made – Boosted from +100 to +110 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we need RJ Barrett and Ja Morant to combine for 4 made 3-pointers. Barrett is averaging just 1.6 made 3-pointers per game, while Morant is averaging 1.2. Despite the low averages, Barret has made at least 1 3-pointer in 4 of his last 5 games and at least 3 in 2 of them. Morant has made at least 2 3-pointers in 5 of the last 6 games and has made 3 or more 3-pointers in 4 of those games. Both guys look to be heating up from behind the arc, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Sidney Crosby to score a goal – Boosted from +180 to +200 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Sidney Crosby to score a goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Vegas Golden Knights. He has 19 goals this season, and has 1 in each of his last 4 games. In 1 game against Vegas this season, Crosby scored a goal as well, so backing this prop is worth a play.

Magomed Ankalaev to win by KO/TKO vs Thiago Santos – Boosted from +130 to +170 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop needs Magomed Ankalaev to beat Thiago Santos by KO/TKO on Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 203. Ankalaev has 8 wins by KO/TKO in his career and our experts already like this fight to end by that method. Santos has just 1 win in his last 4 fights, so backing this prop looks to be worth a shot.

New York Islanders & Pittsburgh Penguins both to win – Boosted from +200 to +250 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we need 2 NHL teams to win their games tonight: the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Vegas Golden Knights and the New York Islanders against the Winnipeg Jets. Our experts like the Penguins tonight with the Golden Knights having consistency and injury issues. We also like the Islanders to beat the Jets, so backing this parlay looks to be worth a play.
