What cashed

Payton Pritchard 3+ assists (-293 DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Pritchard had 3+ assists in 9 of his last 10, 5 of his last 5 and 8 of 9 this season. - What happened: 4 assists in 29 minutes off the bench, clearing by 1.5. He added 12 points and 5 rebounds and finished +29, the best mark on the floor. - Worth watching: His shot was off (4-12), but the assists still came. That is the kind of floor we want from a low assist rung.

Ryan Rollins 1+ threes (-296 DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Rollins had hit a three in 9 of his last 10, 4 of his last 5 and 8 of 9 this season. - What happened: He hit 2 of his 3 three-point tries in 20 minutes off the bench. He also added 6 assists and 5 rebounds. - Worth watching: Rollins only took 4 shots. Low volume is fine for a one-three line, but a short-minute night is the risk.

Brayden Burries under 1.5 threes (-192 FanDuel / -190 DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Burries had stayed under 1.5 threes in 5 of his last 5 and 7 of 8 this season. - What happened: 1-4 from three in 29 minutes. He did most of his damage inside, going 5-11 from the field overall. - Worth watching: He took 4 threes, more than we would like for an under. If his attempts keep climbing, this angle needs a better number.

Brayden Burries 15+ points + rebounds + assists (-310 FanDuel / -301 DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Burries had 15+ PRA in 5 of his last 5 and 7 of 8 this season. - What happened: 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists for 25 PRA, 10.5 over the line. His 4 offensive rebounds helped. - Worth watching: He started and played 29 minutes in a blowout loss. His all-around line gives the combo prop a wide floor even when Milwaukee is losing.
