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

Kevin Durant to score 30+ points and the Brooklyn Nets to win – Boosted from +170 to +200 with PointsBet Sportsbook

For this prop we will need Kevin Durant to score at least 30 points and the Brooklyn Nets will need to beat the Boston Celtics in Game 3. The Nets managed to lose Game 2 the other night even after being up by 10 points at halftime. Slowing down the Celtics’ offense has become an issue for the Nets, making this a must win game at home. Durant has yet to score 30 points in this series so far, but being at home could give him a boost. At home during the regular season Durant averaged 29.2 points; the Nets will likely need him to hit this number if they are going to make this series. Our experts like the Nets to win and cover at home, so backing this prop is worth a play tonight.

Ja Morant to score 30+ points and the Memphis Grizzlies to win – Boosted from +190 to +225 with PointsBet Sportsbook

This prop will need Ja Morant to score at least 30 points tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies will need to win Game 4. The Grizzlies retook control of the series in Game 3, winning on the road. Morant scored just 16 points in the win, and is now averaging 23.7 points per game in the series. Even though our experts would lean to a Grizzlies will and cover to take a commanding 3-1 lead, the Timberwolves may have figured out how to defend Morant, therefore making this prop best to avoid.

Kevin Durant & Jayson Tatum to Each Score 25+ Points, and Kyrie Irving to Make 3+ Threes – Boosted from +125 to +200 with FanDuel Sportsbook

This prop will need Kevin Durant and Jayson Tatum to each score 25 points in Game 3 tonight. We will also need Kyrie Irving to make at least 3 threes. Both Durant and Tatum are averaging exactly 25 points through the first 2 games, and both know they need a big game tonight if their team is going to win. Irving is averaging 24.5 points per game in the series, but is coming off a Game 2 performance where he only scored 10 points. Irving is averaging 3.0 made threes in the series so far, and after failing to make one in Game 2, we should expect him to be firing from behind the arc tonight in Game 3. Neither Durant or Tatum can afford a bad game tonight, therefore backing this prop looks to be worth a play.
