Massive NBA slate tonight and I am excited! I already bet one early NBA game and have an odds boost I really like with some injury news. If you are in Virginia or Michigan, welcome to legal sports betting. Those states now have access to the same books that I do. I am sure each state will have some exceptional boosts for their launch. Make sure you are participating in them and collecting some free money. I know for sure they have a Pistons to make one three pointer at +100, max bet is $50.
Make sure you are following on Twitter as we may release some plays there later in the day!
I did a pack opening of NBA Top Shots. This is super fun and I suggest you give it a watch if you are curious, or have no idea what it is. Until then, let us have some fun and build the pile tonight.

NBA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Embiid first Basket and Sixers to win +650 (FD)
Do people really bet these first basket props? Pass.
Kyrie to score 30+ points vs Cavs +350 (FD)
KD is trending toward not playing. No points prop is listed for Kyrie, but it is going to be high if KD sits. Kyrie has scored over 30 points in three of the eight games he has played. Provided KD sits, which I believe he will, I actually like this one. I am in.
Kyrie/KD/Harden to combine for 100+ points +1300 (DK)
They only got there last game because it went to double-overtime. Also, KD is going to sit and this will be voided. Pass.
Mavs/Nuggets/Knicks to all win +800 (DK)
This is a boost, but just a slight one at +752 if you put them all together on your own. Them all winning is not crazy, but since the spreads are small, it is a three-team parlay without the points as two of them are dogs. I will pass, but mostly because it is a road back-to-back for the Knicks.
NCAA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Michigan to lead at half time and win +125 (DK)
Michigan has been killing teams, but is only a 3.5-point road favorite tonight. Michigan’s lone loss is on the road in the big ten. This is not bad if you like Michigan tonight and do not want to bet just the money line at -188.
Sixers/Mavs/Nuggets all to win +500 (Fox Bet)
If multiple sports books are offering an odds boost with a money line parlay involving the same teams, one of them is going down. Pass.
LaVine/Fox/Brown one or more dunks each +600 (Fox Bet)
Please stop with the dunk boosts. Pass.
Brogdon and Sabonis combine for over 54.5 points +300 (Fox Bet)
I am highlighting this one to remind you how bad some of these boosts can be. Both of these players’ prop numbers for tonight are in both set at 22.5 points. You can parlay that they both hit the over for +263 on fan duel and still be almost 10 full points under this boost. Yes, I realize this boost is combined, but this is ten points too high. It should be 45 points or so.
NBA
CHI +3
The Bulls are finally getting healthy, which seems weird since they have been hurt for what feels like years.
Obviously, I am in on that Kyrie boost as we await KD news. I expect he sits. That is what I have for tonight at this point.
