That 130-point prop is going to be retired after these playoffs. No teams are hitting it.

Good idea to retire the 130 point pick. If I read it right, all the teams that remain are among the defensive leaders. While there likely will be some brilliant individual scoring performances, these will come at the expense of team scoring.
