There are plenty of sports going on today with the NBA 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.

Khris Middleton to score 25+ points and the Bucks to win (Boosted to +180), PointsBet Sportsbook

Khris Middleton really has not been having a great series, scoring more than 16 points just once in the series. He has been cold from downtown, going 8 of 35 and without Giannis Antetokounmpo (most likely), we do not think he will be able to take over this game. Plus, we already lean towards the Hawks, so backing this odds boost is best to be avoided. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Clint Capela to record 30+ points + rebounds + assists (Boosted to +315), DraftKings Sportsbook

Clint Capela had a monster Game 1 with 19 rebounds, but has since struggled to record more than 11. He has been listed as questionable for tonight after getting swatted in the face in the closing minutes of Game 3, so it is worth keeping track of his status before even considering this odds boost. He has only combined for more than 30 points + rebounds + assists once in this series, so this is probably an odds boost best to avoid. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Khris Middleton to record 50+ points + rebounds + assists (Boosted to +340), DraftKings Sportsbook

With Giannis Antetokounmpo most likely out tonight, Khris Middleton is going to have to step up big time. Besides Game 3 where Middleton erupted for 38 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists, he has not combined for 30 points + rebounds + assists in any other game. He also has been shooting poorly in this series and it does not seem likely that will change tonight. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

Kyle Schwarber to record 2+ RBIs (Boosted to +560), DraftKings Sportsbook

Kyle Schwarber is coming off a three strikeout night, but there is reason to believe he could bounce back here. Schwarber has 53 RBI’s this season and against Tony Gonsolin, he should have enough opportunities to cash this prop. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.

DeGrom to record 7+ strikeouts and to record an RBI (Boosted to +955), DraftKings Sportsbook

Jacob deGrom is having a fantastic season and that should not change against a Braves team that has been inconsistent to say the least. The Braves tend to strike out a ton, so asking deGrom to have seven strikeouts is not much for what he is capable of. DeGrom can also handle the bat well, so it is very possible that he could drive in one of the only runs, since New York tends to provide no support. At this price, this looks to be an odds boost worth a shot. Be sure to check out our full game preview for this matchup.
