Dejounte Murray's points prop is a strong lean on tonight'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 relative ease. Here's why we're backing the Over.
Dejounte Murray Stats & Recent Form
Murray has been a consistent scoring threat for New Orleans this season, averaging 19.2 points per game over his last five contests. The veteran guard has topped 17.5 points in four of his last five games, including a 24-point performance against the Warriors just three days ago. His offensive workload has remained steady with the Pelicans, and he's been particularly aggressive in the second half when New Orleans needs buckets. Murray's three-point volume is up this month, which adds another scoring avenue.
Matchup Analysis: New Orleans vs Los Angeles Clippers
The Clippers rank 18th in the NBA in scoring defense this season, allowing opponents to average 110.4 points per game. Los Angeles has struggled particularly against backcourt scorers in recent weeks, and Murray's ability to attack both off the dribble and from three makes him a difficult cover. The Clippers are also dealing with rotation depth issues, which could mean less switching and more opportunities for Murray to find soft spots in their defense.
