Draft Kings has been attempting to do simple boost, which they thought would be easy winners. That has not been the case. Therefore, to make up for it tonight, they are offering the Suns money line at +100 with a max bet of $50. If you have been following, there is only one way to play this. I bet the max on that, and then bet $55 to win $50 on the Clippers +5.5. Why? If the Suns win by 1-5, points I win both wagers. If the Suns win and cover, I lose almost nothing. If the Clippers win out right, I lose nothing. This is a perfect scenario for an easy middle opportunity. I am going to happily take my chances and pick up a few extra dollars here. I always like getting this boosts, so I can happily bet and lose more on PGA. In this case, you have a solid five-point window to hit and win both wagers.
While the Suns seems like a lock to make the NBA finals, I would not recommend betting the Suns to win the title at +100. Yet, if you want to attack the Suns may I recommend Chris Paul to win finals MVP at +410. I realize Booker exists, but there is a world where Jrue Holiday shuts down Booker enough and the media give CP3 a career achievement award for MVP. I threw a little sprinkle on it, as it is entirely in play and a much better price than +100.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

NBA Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Booker to score 25+ and Suns to win +170 (FD)
Booker’s point prop is set to 26.5 and the over is juiced.
This parlay should pay +102.
Booker has been hovering around thus number in every game. I think there is a chance the Clippers may be done here, as this is a great set up. Due to the fact these games have been trending under, I am passing. Yet, you can fire here if you want.
Reggie Jackson to record 25+ combined points + assists +110 (DK)
This combo is set to 23.5 and the over is slightly juiced on FD. I mean, I suppose if you like it, this is kind of, in line with where it should be. I am not backing Reggie Jackson in an elimination game, but I have been wrong on that before. I am passing, as this is not really a boost.
PG and CP3 to score 15+ points +100 (Fox)
PG is getting there and CP3’s prop is set to 17.5 I am in. This is a weak $10 max bet for me though, thanks Fox Bet. I assume that is the case for everyone. I am in though.
MLB Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Zero runs 1st inning LAD/SF +120 (FD)
This should be -110, but we have watched as the Dodgers pitchers like giving up solo homeruns early. I am in here. We are due for an uneventful first inning.
Bauer 7+ K’s and LAD to win +125 (DK)
Bauer’s K prop is set to 8.5 and the under is significantly juiced.
Bauer to record 7k’s is -320 though.
However, this parlay should pay +117. This is not much of a boost at all. If you like it sure, but I am not rushing to bet something this small. Pass for me.
CHC/CWS to both win +320 (DK)
They always sneak in one dog, in this case the Cubs. This should pay +285. Easy pass for me, as I am not taking dogs in parlays.
NYY/CWS/CHC to all win +600 (Fox)
We know the Cubs are dogs and this parlay should pay +529. I am passing again for the same reasons as above.
HOU/STL/LAD to all win +250 (Barstool)
This should pay +218. All three are favorites and this feels like a good spot. However, the Cardinals have been awful. Some Pirates rookie that is not even good just no-hit them for five innings. I am not placing any money on the Cardinals at this time, despite this situation.
NBA
Nothing at this time.
MLB
Nothing at this time.

HOU/BOS ML Parlay +110
Houston is coming off a loss but massive favorites tonight. The Red Sox have won three straight and the Royals have lost five straight. I get two larger favorites in good spots at plus money. I am in.
