NBA Projections for Monday Night
If you want to take advantage of your Boom NBA promo tonight to build an exotic-style entry with a massive multiplier, targeting the highest-scoring playoff projections on the slate is our best starting point. Let’s do some handicapping. Below is a look at the five highest player points totals across tonight’s schedule, stacking their consensus prop lines against their current postseason averages.
Player
Opponent
Playoff PPG
Points Over/Under
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Los Angeles Lakers
28.3
28.5
Donovan Mitchell
Detroit Pistons
25.1
27.5
Cade Cunningham
Cleveland Cavaliers
30.2
26.5
Austin Reaves
Oklahoma City Thunder
18.6
21.5
LeBron James
Oklahoma City Thunder
23.1
21.5
Let’s break down where we can find an edge. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headlines the morning line with a consensus points prop of 28.5 against the Los Angeles Lakers. SGA has been incredibly consistent in the playoffs, averaging 28.3 points per game. His projection is a near mirror-image of his current production, making him a solid anchor for our lineups.
Meanwhile, Cade Cunningham presents a fantastic opportunity. The Pistons star has been an absolute scoring machine, averaging a staggering 30.2 points per game in the postseason. Oddsmakers, however, have shaded his line slightly lower to 26.5 as he takes on the Cleveland Cavaliers, likely factoring in a tough defensive matchup. I love keying a player like Cade when the numbers dip.
On the other side of that exact same game, Donovan Mitchell is looking to light up the scoreboard against Detroit. Averaging 25.1 playoff points per game, Mitchell’s line sits a couple of points higher at 27.5, signaling the books are expecting an offensive outburst.
Finally, the veteran LeBron James finds his points total resting at 21.5 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Given that he’s averaging 23.1 points per game this postseason, his over/under sits just slightly below his typical output. Interestingly, his teammate, Austin Reaves, shares the exact same 21.5 points prop, even though Reaves is only averaging 18.6 points entering the contest.

NYPD says dozens rescued from human trafficking during World Cup
▶ Watch Video: Inside look at security preparations for World Cup
Forty-three people, including seven minors, were rescued from human traffickers during the World Cup matches in the New York City area, according to the New York City Police Department's Special Victims Unit.The rescue operations were carried out between June 11 and July 19 by specialized NYPD detectives who arrested 89 individuals."The surprise was really the outpouring of support behind the mission and the collaboration with all our partners," said Inspector Gary Marcus, commanding officer of the Special Victims Unit.Those rescued, largely the victims of sex trafficking, are now being supported with an array of social services for the victims, including food, housing and counseling.The 87 operations carried out during the World Cup have generated new leads, officials said, and law enforcement agencies are building more cases based on the investigations already underway."We have ongoing investigations now as a result of these operations," an NYPD official told CBS News.Major sporting events are known to law enforcement as hotbeds of human trafficking.Years in advance, the NYPD devoted significant resources to preparing for the World Cup. Eight matches were played at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, including the final on Sunday."When we talk about the outreach and the prep we do, a large part of that involved visiting the known sex offenders, particularly the known human traffickers, in our registry," Marcus said. "Whether they're on parole or probation for human trafficking, we visited them to make sure they're compliant with the terms of their release, and secondly, to let them know that the NYPD is watching."The matches were held in multiple cities around the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Preparations to secure those games and prepare for crimes like human trafficking were coordinated between local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.Police departments in many locations that hosted World Cup matches have made arrests and rescues connected to human trafficking, including in Georgia, New England and Missouri. Nationally, there were more than 673 arrests on human-trafficking charges made during the World Cup, and 61 adults and 13 minors rescued, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
