Dejounte Murray Points Prediction: Over 17.5 vs Clippers (March 19)
Dejounte Murray's points prop is a solid play on Thursday's NBA slate. The New Orleans Pelicans face the Los Angeles Clippers on March 19, and our model projects Murray to clear his 17.5-point line with ease. Here's why we're backing the Over.
Dejounte Murray Stats & Recent Form
Murray has been a consistent offensive engine for the Pelicans over his last five games, averaging 19.2 points on solid efficiency. The veteran guard has hit the Over on this 17.5-point line in three of his last four outings, showcasing improved scoring rhythm alongside New Orleans' ball movement. He's been especially aggressive in pick-and-roll situations, capitalizing on mismatches and attacking downhill. Murray's touch from mid-range has been sharp, and he's found secondary scoring opportunities when defenses collapse on Zion Williamson.
Matchup Analysis: Pelicans vs Clippers
The Clippers rank 18th in defensive efficiency against opposing guards, and their perimeter pressure can sometimes create driving lanes for experienced ballhandlers like Murray. Los Angeles plays at a moderate pace that won't slow the Pelicans' offensive flow, and the absence of lockdown wing defenders gives Murray room to operate in transition and off-ball. Vegas has priced this line respectfully, but Murray's recent scoring surge and the Clippers' guard-friendly defensive profile suggest value on the Over.
