We are into the home stretch of the NBA. I am going to breakdown motivations as I have mentioned before. There are so many people that are resting, hurt, or just not trying to win at the moment.
All the books have almost given up on NBA boosts. It feels odd considering how compelling the last few weeks should be. Hopefully they start to pick up for the playoffs and the Masters.
CHI at WAS +4
The Wizards have quit. The Bulls are only one game away from falling into the play-in. This line feels too small, but this is a road back-to-back for the Bulls who lost to the Knicks last night.
MIL at PHI -1.5
Both teams are one game back of the top seed in the East. Both teams are trying. We are still waiting on that big James Harden game against a really good team.
LAL at DAL -12.5
No LeBron it appears. Anthony Davis is close, but not ready. The Lakers may be blown out here. The line is appropriate.
DET at BRK -13.5
Brooklyn needs to avoid being in the bottom of the play-in scenario. Detroit is in full tank.
UTA at LAC +1
Do we see the return of Paul George tonight? It certainly appears that the Clippers may be ready to have at least one of their stars return this week. What a terrible slate of games this is. This is what happens in late season NBA.
Until the games start, let’s have some fun and build the pile!

Basketball Odds Boosts You Should Consider Betting
Giannis and Embiid to combine for 90+ points/rebounds +190 (DK)
Draft Kings is back with the combined boosts! As usual, you can parlay all of these instead at a better price. Pass for me. Their combo props are set to 42.5 and 43.5.
MIL/CHI/DAL to all win +275 (Fox)
This is boosted from, +275. This is not a boost at all. Pass for me.
Embiid/Giannis/Luka to score 25+ +150 (FD)
Embiid’s prop is set to 31.5.
Luka’s prop is set to 29.5.
Giannis’s prop is set to 29.5.
This should pay -103. I am in! My only concern is that the Lakers get blown out.
Let’s Get Weird
If you like the Bulls to just win outright a very easy money line parlay is Dallas, Brooklyn, Chicago. It is sitting right there at +100. However, the Bulls have been so inconsistent and the Zinger has been very good. I just wanted to mention all this before you decide to go and fire.
