There are plenty of sports going on today with the Euro 2020 soccer tournament, NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs and a big slate of MLB baseball games. There look to be a host of promotions and boosts on offer from sportsbooks. But which ones should you look to capitalize on?

We’ve put together a list of all of the day’s best boosts, which happen to be from DraftKings Sportsbook, and PointsBet Sportsbook today, and whether they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.

Devin Booker and Paul George to score 25+ points each (Boosted to +100), PointsBet Sportsbook

The Western Conference Finals will kick-off today with both teams missing a star player. The Suns will be without Chris Paul, while the Clippers will be missing Kawhi Leonard. That only means that Paul George and Devin Booker will have to step up for these respective teams. Booker averaged 25.3 points per game in the sweep against Denver and George averaged 29.0 points per game in their series with the Jazz. Note that in the two games without Leonard, George averaged 32.5 points per game, making this odds boost worth a play. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Joel Embiid to score 30+ and the 76ers to win (Boosted to +130), PointsBet Sportsbook

The Sixers held on in Game 6 to force this Game 7 and will need Joel Embiid at his best if they are going to outlast the Atlanta Hawks. Embiid has faded in the fourth quarter in a few of these games, but we believe he will be dominant tonight. Embiid is averaging 30.3 points per game in the series, and because our experts like a convincing Sixers win, backing this odds boost looks to be a solid play.

Marcus Morris Sr. to record a double-double (Boosted to +1700), DraftKings Sportsbook

Having no Kawhi Leonard certainly hurts the Clippers chances, so a guy like Marcus Morris Sr. is going to have to be huge today is they are going to win in Phoenix. Morris Sr. averaged 13.2 points per game in the series against the Utah Jazz, but not nearly enough rebounds or assists for that matter. Still, at this big of odds and the fact that we know he can rebound well, backing this odds boost may be worth a small play. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Trae Young to record 40+ points + assists (Boosted to +100), DraftKings Sportsbook

The Atlanta Hawks blew their opportunity to close at the series at home, therefore they will head back to Philadelphia for the all-important Game 7. Trae Young has been basically been able to do whatever he wants in this series and it is unlikely that the Sixers shut him down tonight. Young is averaging 30.3 points per game in the series and 11.0 assists, so combined that comes out to 41.3 points + assists per game. There is no question that he needs to be elite for the Hawks to pull off the win, so backing this odds boosts looks to be a solid play. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Canadiens to score first and win (Boosted to +370), DraftKings Sportsbook

The Montreal Canadiens are sitting in a good spot, up 2-1 in the series with a home game tonight. However, our experts expect the Golden Knights’ to bounce back here and win pretty convincingly. The Canadiens have actually only scored first in one of the three games so far, therefore this is probably an odds boost best to avoid. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.
