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

Steven Stamkos to Score 1+ Goals & Tampa Bay Lightning to Win – Boosted from +350 to +450 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Steven Stamkos to score at least 1 goal and the Tampa Bay Lightning will need to beat the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Tampa Bay has dominated this season, jumping out to a 3-0 series lead and all but securing their place in the Eastern Conference Finals. They still must win one final game at home tonight to complete the sweep or risk allowing the Panthers a chance to try and climb back into the series. Stamkos has scored 4 times so far in the playoffs, 2 of which were in Game 3 against the Panthers.

Our experts do like the Panthers to extend the series for one more game, but with how the Lightning are playing, it may still be worth a small play to back them to sweep and for Stamkos to once again find the back of the net.

Jayson Tatum to Score 5+ Points in Each Quarter vs Miami Heat – Boosted from +210 to +270 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Jayson Tatum to score at least 5 points in each quarter tonight against the Miami Heat in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Tatum is coming off a horrible Game 3 where he scored just 10 points. This matches his worst performance in the playoffs this season, a game that happened against the Milwaukee Bucks. He previously bounce back from scoring 10 points by scoring 30 against the Bucks, a likely scenario for tonight’s crucial Game 4. It is hard to believe Tatum will go an entire quarter without making 2-3 shots or even a couple free throws, therefore backing this prop is worth a play.

Jayson Tatum to score 25+ points and the Boston Celtics to win – Boosted from +120 to +135 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Jayson Tatum to score at least 25 points and the Boston Celtics will need to beat the Miami Heat in Game 4 on the Eastern Conference Finals tonight. As discussed in a previous prop involving Tatum, he equaled his worst performance in the playoffs in Game 3, scoring just 10 points. In a must win situation, there is no reason to believe Tatum will not bounce back in a big way here. He is averaging 22.0 points per game in this series, but minus the 10-point game, he would be averaging much more. Throughout the playoffs, Tatum is averaging 26.9 points, so because our experts would lean towards the Celtics to even the series, this is a prop worth backing.
