Cavaliers vs. Pistons: Over 213.5 total points (-110)

The Over hit in the first game in Cleveland in a 116-109 Cleveland win on Saturday, and the model projects another higher-scoring contest Monday night. The Over has hit in three straight Cavaliers games in Cleveland, and in six of their last seven home contests. The Cavaliers are favored to win at home Monday, and the Over is 9-2 in Pistons games when they are the road underdog this season. James Harden was stellar late for Cleveland in Game 3, Donovan Mitchell led all players with 35 points and Cade Cunningham is the top scorer in the playoffs at 30.2 points per game this year. The model projects plenty of offense again on Monday, with the Over hitting in 55.6% of simulations. Back the Over by claiming the latest BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS here:

Lakers vs. Thunder: Over 214.5 total points (-110)

The Thunder are averaging 121.3 points per game this series, and that's without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander playing nearly his best basketball. The overwhelming favorite to win his second straight NBA MVP is averaging 21 points per game this series, compared to posting 31.1 ppg, second-most in the league, during the regular season. The model doesn't expect SGA's scoring totals to stay this low for much longer, as one reason it's backing the Over on Monday. The Over is 11-3 in the last 14 Thunder games, including hitting in Game 2 and Game 3. LeBron James is averaging 22.3 ppg this series, and it's win-or-elimination mode in Game 4 for the Lakers, which should mean even more playing time for James and other starters. The model projects the Over to hit in 57.2% of simulations. Back the Over by claiming the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS here:

Dodgers (-175) vs. Giants

"The Dodgers got smoked by Atlanta on Sunday for a second straight defeat but have only lost three in a row once this season," SportsLine expert Matt Severance said. "And Mookie Betts is set to be activated ahead of Monday's game. Now we finally get to see what that full lineup can do. Certainly would prefer any other LA starting pitcher than Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.97 ERA), but this would be more expensive if so. The Giants can't hit much and are 6-12 away. They taxed the bullpen plenty in Sunday's 12-inning win over Pittsburgh. Back the Dodgers by claiming the latest BetMGM promo code CBSSPORTS here:
