Jimmy Butler Under 0.5 Made Threes (+124)

Jimmy Butler has nailed at least one trey in each of the past two games of this series, but there are reasons to back him to go without a three today.

Butler has shot an unsustainable 6 of 8 from three in the last two games, including a 4-for-4 effort in Game 3. He's a 32.3% three-point shooter for his career, so he's not going to keep shooting this well.

Butler isn't a high-volume three-point shooter, either. He has taken only nine total three-point tries over the three games. He put up just 1.6 three-point attempts per night in the regular season, his fewest since the first two years of his career.

The Milwaukee Bucks were excellent at preventing three-point shots this season, giving up a three-point attempt rate of 36.6%, tied for the fourth-lowest. Milwaukee surrendered the fourth-fewest made triples per game to small forwards (2.4).

We project Butler to go 0.5 of 1.8 today from three. With this under priced at +124, it's a great prop to zero in on.

Dillon Brooks Under 13.5 Points (-125)

We cashed the under on Dillon Brooks' points prop last week, and I think it hits again tonight.

Brooks has scored 7 and 12 points in the past two games after netting 15 in Game 1. He's now played the Los Angeles Lakers six times this season, and he's scored 13 or fewer points in five of the six games.

On top of that, his minutes are dwindling as he's played just 22.6 and 19.2 minutes over the past two games. That happened to Brooks in last year's postseason, as well. He averaged 27.7 minutes in the regular season and got just 23.7 minutes per night in the playoffs.

Our model has Brooks scoring 11.7 points in tonight's Game 4.
