There are plenty of things to be aware of for tonight’s slate. The Hawks went from a favorite to a dog and it appears Trae Young will sit. The line movement would indicate that is correct. Joel Embiid is out tonight and the Sixers are not dogs at home. The Kings are bad and Fox is also questionable. SGA is out for the time being for the Thunder, which means it is time to Giddey up and watch the show for the Oklahoma City Rookie.
Every few hours someone else enters the Covid protocols. Covid and injuries are everywhere. Be careful out there!
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

Basketball Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Mystery Profit Boost SGP PHI/MEM (DK)
I got a 25% boost, a friend got 50%. What will you get? Here is what I am playing for this game!
Brown and Tatum to combine for 55+ points +185 (DK)
DK always with the combined boosts. Lame as usual. I was not interested in this before Jimmy Butler was ruled out. I hate combined boosts. Just parlay them for a much better price. Pass
CLE/MEM/GSW to all win +160 (FOX)
This should pay +154. Weak, it is barely a boost. Pass.
CLE/NYK/GSW to all win +140 (Barstool)
This should pay +123. Again, weak and barely a boost. Pass for me.
NBA
Look, I am being very careful here as news changes rapidly and who knows with all these G-League players on every team.
TOR -1.5
MEM -3.5
I am taking advantage of star players being out.
Let’s Get Weird
Giddey to record a triple double +650 (DK)
Giddey triple-double/GSW ML/CLE ML/NYK ML +1520 (DK)
Who is ready to have some real fun? Darius Garland was just listed as questionable. If he is out, I would not bet this parlay.
