Some night the NBA can be cruel. The Pelicans were winning at the end of the first three quarters, yet failed to cover getting 11.5 points. It happens sometimes, but all you can do is move on and get ready for the next slate.
For the first time this year, there are multiple boosts I believe are worth betting!
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

Basketball Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
LaVine/KD/Randle to score 20+ +140 (FD)
KD’s point prop is set to 27.5
Randle’s point prop is set to 22.5 and the over is ever so slightly juiced.
LaVine’s point prop is set to 24.5 and the under is ever so slightly juiced.
This parlay should pay +104. Every player is expected to eclipse 20+ based upon their betting odds and point props. This is also a solid boost. I am in.
Get a $1 free bet for every made 3 in CHA/GSW (DK)
You must opt in and make a $50+ wager on the game. I will be doing this.
CHA averages 14.6 made threes a game. GSW averages 15.2 made threes a game. Even if they fall short of their averages, I think a $27 free bet at least is in play. I am thinking about the Hornets +190 money line at the moment but will tweet my decision later.
25% Profit Boost SGP (DK)
They will do anything to get people to bet these SGP’s. They must be slightly profitable haha.
LaMelo to have 40+ Points/Rebounds/Assists +400 (DK)
LaMelo’s combo is set to 30.5 and the over is slightly juiced.
This would take him going over his prop numbers by a great deal, as you can tell. You could just parlay him to go over each prop 19.5/5.5/5.5 at +468 instead. I realize he could go wild scoring and get you there, but I wanted to present options and explain why I am passing. I am out on this.
Trae to have 25+ points and 10+ Assists +450 (DK)
Trae’s point prop is set to 25.5.
Trae’s assist prop is set to 8.5 and the under is heavily juiced.
This parlay should pay +336.
Trae has accomplished this combination exactly zero times this season. Yet, this game has a higher total compared to some games and this is a larger boosts than what is normally given out on wagers like this. Despite Trae having not done this during this new season, I am going to play this because of the size of the boost. With his point total near the number needed, it is a larger bet on his assist total going over. I am in.
Tatum and Randle 25+ Points +350 (Fox)
Tatum’s point prop is set to 25.5.
Randle’s point prop is set to 22.5 and the over is ever so slightly juiced.
This parlay should pay +307, so it is a boost, yet Randle really needs to go over and I am skeptical of him. Yes, I realize I have him going over 20+, bit this is an extra five points we are talking about. I am going to pass on this one.
BOS/NYK/DEN to all win +450 (Fox)
Can you spot the small spread team in this parlay? It is a trick there are two. This should pay +443, not much of a boost. Pass.
Trae and KD 25+ Points each +185 (Barstool)
Trae’s point prop is set to 25.5.
KD’s point prop is set to 27.5
This should pay +150. This is a solid boost. Both players are expected to land at or past the numbers needed. I am in.
NYK and BRK to both win +220 (Barstool)
NYK are one-point dogs tonight. Brooklyn is a smallish favorite. This parlay should pay +202 or so. If you like them both sure, but I am always shying away from these small spread games being thrown in these boosts. Pass for me.
NBA
Embiid over 26.5 points -105 (DK)
Who on the Bulls roster has a chance at defending him? This game has a small spread and should be competitive. Oh, the Sixers are also missing Tobias Harris and Embiid will be asked to do even more offensively.
ATL +5
Can you tell I like the Hawks tonight?
