Chicago Creation: Competing without a true pass-first point guard has tasked some in Chicago's rotation with increased creation equity. Alex Caruso has averaged 7.7 potential assists and a team-high 59.7 passes through three games against Milwaukee. Caruso's assist prop sits at a reasonable 3.5 ahead of Game 4. DeMar DeRozan currently paces the Bulls with 12.7 potential assists per game this postseason, making his assist prop of 4.5 intriguing.

Looking for Lowry: Kyle Lowry did not play the fourth quarter of the Heat's Game 3's loss in Atlanta due to a hamstring injury. He missed Miami's practice on Saturday and is listed as questionable to play in today's matchup. If Lowry can't go, it's important to note that Tyler Herro saw a sizable leap in DraftKings points per 36 minutes with Lowry off the floor this season, while Bam Adebayo has seen his assist percentage rise by 3.8%. If Lowry is limited or sidelined, Herro and Duncan Robinson will get more defensive exposure, matchups that Bogdan Bogdanovic has taken advantage of thus far.

Pound the Rock:The Suns have been able to stick to their game plan in Games 1 and 3 of this series. Game 2 was only the exception due to Devin Booker's injury. In those two games, Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee have made 32-of-45 shots for 76 points. That sort of usage doesn't happen by accident and it's tough to see that changing in a pivotal Game 4. If you want to go heavy on Ayton props and/or DFS exposure, you have the green light and can certainly justify getting a little creative with McGee. He is 13-of-14 shooting in this series with 15.6 points and 6.3 rebounds per 20 minutes.
