- Online gambling sites are offering props and specials on the two NBA playoff games on Monday.

LAS VEGAS - The second round of the NBA Playoffs features many intriguing special wagers at online sportsbooks. Bovada, one of the top online gambling sites in the world, is responsible for offering the following odds.
These specials are all focused on the games taking place on Monday – games between the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers, and Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns.
This means that props are available on players like James Harden, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and Nikola Jokic.
Notably absent from these props is Joel Embiid, who is vanishingly unlikely to play in the early games of the Celtics/Sixers series after a knee injury.
High Scoring In Denver?
The Denver Nuggets have a famously dominant offense and a famously mediocre defense, personified by their star, two-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
However, in the Playoffs, they’ve tightened up the defense, with a 109 defensive rating and a 119 offensive rating.
They lead all teams in offensive rating in the Playoffs – except one. That team? Their opponents, the Phoenix Suns.
Suns vs. Nuggets High Scoring Props
- Suns @ Nuggets To Be Highest-Scoring Game -350
- Nuggets To Be Highest-Scoring Team (Inc Ties) +115

Highest-scoring team, in this context, refers to the group of teams playing today – these two, and the Celtics and Sixers.
