The odds for center Nikola Jokic to record a triple-double and the Denver Nuggets to win their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday have been boosted by Caesars Sportsbook. This article examines several of the most lucrative odds boosts offered by the top U.S. sportsbooks.
On Thursday, we were so close to cashing our +450 odds boost on Chris Kreider. Our bet was looking very promising when he scored his 40th goal of the season in the second period. Sadly, it was the only goal for the New York Rangers on the night, and we needed Kreider to record two or more points to win the boost.
Our other NHL odds boost called for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Rangers to win their respective games. In the more difficult of the two legs of the parlay, the Penguins defeated the St. Louis Blues 3-2 in overtime to earn the green checkmark. Since the Rangers scored only one goal, the Kreider and moneyline odds boosts were both unsuccessful.
In order to win on Friday night, the Dallas Mavericks will need a stellar performance from guard Luka Doncic. Against forward Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers, the Mavericks are getting 2.5 points at the Wells Fargo Center. DraftKings Sportsbook increased its odds for Doncic to notch a triple-double on Friday.
Here are the top boosted odds plays for Friday’s schedule:
Friday’s Odds Boosts
- Nikola Jokic triple-double & Denver Nuggets to win (+525 via Caesars Sportsbook)
- Luka Doncic triple-double (+500 via DraftKings)
- USC & Davidson both to win (+275 via Barstool Sportsbook)

Picks for Friday’s Top Odds Boosts
Jokic triple-double & Nuggets to win
Regular odds: +500
BOOSTED ODDS: +525
As 3-point road favorites, the Denver Nuggets will travel to Cleveland on Friday to play the Cavaliers. The Nuggets have won 12 of their last 15 games. The NBA leader in triple-doubles on the season, Jokic continues to close the gap on Embiid for the NBA MVP award.
The Nuggets have won 11 games this season in which Jokic recorded a triple-double. Therefore, this parlay has a winning percentage of 17.4%. With this winning percentage, we can establish a +474 buy point for this parlay.
The regular odds for this parlay are +500. Thus, the boosted odds of +550 only serve to increase the value of this wager. On a full slate of NBA games on Friday, this odds boost presents an excellent opportunity for bettors.
Doncic triple-double
Regular odds: +390
BOOSTED ODDS: +500
Over his last 13 games, Doncic has averaged a whopping 34.5 points per contest for the Mavericks. With his help, Dallas has become one of the hottest teams in the NBA as the Mavs have won eight of their last nine games.
Doncic has recorded nine triple-doubles in 53 games this season. In other words, he is recording a triple-double 16.9% of the time and we can establish a buy point of +491. In the event that the only odds available are the regular odds of +390, we would have to fade this prop as it is +101 below our buy level.
I believe this is where the odds boost really starts to display its value since it has taken a prop that would normally be faded and pushed it above our buy point of +491 to a new price point of +500. A team will typically rely more on its star players during difficult matchups in NBA games. Based on this angle, as well as the fact that the Doncic prop is nine cents above our buy point, I would definitely consider backing this on Friday.
USC & Davidson both to win
Regular odds: +245
BOOSTED ODDS: +275
I’m attracted to this odds boost since it includes Davidson on the moneyline. On the opening day of March Madness, the Richmond Spiders upset the Iowa Hawkeyes outright as 9.5-point underdogs.
The most meaningful takeaway from the game was that the Big Ten may not be as strong as we believe it is, and that Davidson, who is also a member of the A-10, may be underrated. The fact that Saint Mary’s defeated Indiana by 29 points later in the day only added to my negative opinion of the Big Ten.
According to KenPom, Davidson is projected to win its game against Michigan State by one point. Therefore, with a price of -105 to defeat the Spartans, Davidson is already undervalued on the regular moneyline. Undervalued on the regular line and then boosted odds to further enhance that value is always the most profitable combination in these markets. In addition to Davidson being projected to win, KenPom also has USC defeating Miami by one point.
When you visit other sportsbooks and generate the same parlay, you are unlikely to find a better price than the +275 Barstool is offering for this boost. The same parlay is available at DraftKings with odds of just +238. Therefore, the +275 is the highest number on the market and one that I would consider betting.
