Las Vegas is so certain LeBron James is going to go off in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, they’re setting an unprecedented line in an over-under prop bet.
A combination of factors have led to the prop bet point total for James’s Game 7 to be set at 38, which is the highest-ever mark.

Between James playing in an elimination game, the remarkable numbers he’s been putting up all playoff, and the fact that Kevin Love’s absence will more or less make James option A, B, and C, it’s hard to argue with the figure. We might recommend taking the over — there’s plenty of precedent for it this postseason.
