Cade Cunningham (DET) – Over Points + Assists
Cunningham has been unsurprising magnificent in the first three games of the series, serving in his usual role as the Pistons’ linchpin and taking advantage of a Magic squad that has been helpless against him since the start of the regular season. The star point guard has averaged 44.3 points + rebounds + assists over the first three games, including 39.0 points + assists, across 39.3 minutes per contest. As those numbers corroborate, Cunningham’s usage has been through the roof, and he’s averaging 23.0 field-goal attempts per contest and 9.3 free-throw tries thus far in the first round.
The success is simply an extension of Cunningham’s handiwork against Orlando from the regular season, when he lit up the Magic for averages of 43.4 points + assists across 37.7 minutes per game over three contests while shooting 48%. Jalen Suggs is certainly an above-average defender, but Cunningham has consistently proven capable of overcoming the matchup and Monday’s game is absolutely critical for the Pistons as they try to overcome what is a jarring 1-2 series deficit.

Dillon Brooks (PHX) – Over Points + Rebounds
The Suns are staring elimination in the face Monday, but it’s a relatively safe bet to assume Brooks is going to go down chucking away if Game 4 is indeed Phoenix’s swan song. The mercurial wing has been highly aggressive on the offensive end over the first three games, averaging 27.0 points on 22.0 field-goal attempts per contest.
Despite the prickly defensive matchup presented by the Thunder, Brooks has also connected on 42.9% of his robust 9.3 attempts from three-point range, and he’s complemented his offensive production with 6.7 rebounds per contest as well. Brooks should be similarly involved in Game 4 given the high stakes, and dating back to the regular season, he’s put up 27.9 points + rebounds over 32.9 minutes per game against OKC over a seven-game sample.

Jamal Murray (DEN) – Over Points + Assists
The Nuggets are another team whose backs are against the wall Monday, as the Timberwolves have surprisingly taken a 3-1 series lead. However, Denver is at home and will be facing a Minnesota squad now missing Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (knee), so Murray will have less resistance to deal with in the backcourt. He’s already thriving over the first four games of the series despite one tough shooting night in Game 3, averaging 37.3 points + rebounds + assists across 39.8 minutes per contest.
While Murray has averaged 32.3 points + assists in that sample, he’s actually exceeded the 33.5 number in three of the first four games. He was similarly impressive in four regular-season games against a healthier version of the Timberwolves, averaging 38.8 points + assists over 39.3 minutes per game while shooting a blistering 43.6% from behind the arc. Given Monday’s high stakes and his weakened opponent, this prop is very much in play for the perennial All-Star.
