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

Steph Curry & Klay Thompson to make 10+ combined threes – Boosted from +330 to +400 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to combine for 10+ 3-pointers made. We know Curry is a sharpshooter from long range and as a result, he is averaging 5.1 made threes per game. Thompson just returned from an long-term injury and was able to knock down 3 threes in his first game back. Now that he has that game under his belt, I would expect Thompson to come out firing from deep. Having both Curry and Thompson on the court makes it that much harder for the defense to adjust, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Nikola Jokic to record a triple double – Boosted from +270 to +340 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop needs Nikola Jokic to record a triple double tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jokic is averaging 25.8 points per game, 14.2 rebounds per game and 7 assists per game. Last time the Nuggets played the Clippers, Jokic has 26 points, 22 rebounds and 8 assists, so he was very close to a triple double. I believe he can get there tonight with another big performance, so backing this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Golden Knights to score 5+ goals – Boosted from +310 to +380 with DraftKings Sportsbook

This prop needs the Vegas Golden Knights to score at least 5+ goals tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Golden Knights average 3.47 goals per game (5th in the NHL), but the Maple Leafs allow just 2.48 goals per game (2nd in the NHL). With Toronto having had a solid defense all season, this prop is likely best avoided.

Iowa State to be leading at half-time – Boosted from +255 to +290 with DraftKings Sportsbook

For this prop, we will need Iowa State to be leading Kansas at half-time. The Jayhawks are favored by double digits in this game, but the Cyclones are 13-2 and are playing some great basketball. While we believe Kansas can cover in this game, it would not be surprising to see Iowa State come out swinging with a big first half. For that reason, this prop looks to be worth a small play.

Southampton to win & both teams to score vs Brentford – Boosted from +320 to +400 with FanDuel Sportsbook

The lone EPL game sees Southampton and Brentford face off (2:45 pm ET, Peacock) and this prop needs Southampton to win the game and both teams to score. Southampton has not been very good this season though and our experts like Brentford to either win or tie in this contest. Both teams may score, but the lack of confidence in Southampton to win makes this prop one to stay away from.
