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

Kyrie Irving to score 35+ points  – Boosted from +215 to +255 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop will need Kyrie Irving to score at least 35 points tonight against the Miami Heat. Despite having played a limited amount of games this season, Irving has still managed to average 28.5 points per game. In the month of March (5 games), Irving is averaging 38.8 points per game. This stretch includes a 50-point game, 60-point game and most recently a 43-point game. In 1 game this season against the Heat, Irving scored 29 points, but as we near the playoffs, expect Irving to step his game up even more. The Nets still have a chance to claim the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference, which would give them immunity from the play-in tournament, so every win down the stretch is going to be huge.

Miami’s Tyler Herro looks to be in doubt for this game, which should only help Irving productivity. He has scored more than 35 points in 20% of his games this season, and should be able to take advantage of a Miami team that has started to falter down the stretch. For that reason, backing this prop is more than worth a play.

Dallas Stars & Florida Panthers Both to Win – Boosted from +115 to +150 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need 2 NHL teams to win their games tonight: the Dallas Stars against the Vancouver Canucks and the Florida Panthers against the Ottawa Senators. Our experts like both the Stars and the Panthers to beat these below average teams tonight because both the Stars and Panthers are fighting for playoff seeding, while the Canucks and Sharks are effectively eliminated and do not have much to play for at this point in the season. Both the Stars and Panthers are big favorites too, so backing this parlay looks like a must play.

Houston Cougars and Duke Blue Devils both to Win – Boosted from +160 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

For this parlay, we will need the Houston Cougars and the Duke Blue Devils to both win their Elite 8 matchups tonight. The Cougars will play the Villanova Wildcats, while the Blue Devils will take on the Arkansas Razorbacks. Our experts love the Blue Devils tonight because of how efficient their offense is and backing them to cover is one of our best bets for tonight. We also like the Cougars to cover a small spread against the Wildcats after they dismantled Arizona in the Sweet 16. For that reason, backing this parlay looks to be a must play.
