The Pelicans are hosting the Clippers on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Los Angeles is favored by five points and this game carries a total of 220 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Dejounte Murray prop to consider from this contest.

Best Dejounte Murray Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Dejounte Murray U 18.5 Points (-125)

Dejounte Murray has scored less than 18 points in five straight games and he should fall short of this number again Monday vs. the Clippers. Los Angeles is a very poor matchup, with it ranking fifth in defensive efficiency and 23rd in pace, compared to the Pelicans, who rank 16th in pace. Murray’s game is built for fast pace and playing at a slower tempo is never ideal for the guard.

In this ugly spot vs. the Clippers, New Orleans carries an underwhelming implied team total of 107.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook, which is the lowest implied team total of the 14 NBA teams competing Monday. Murray has played behind an implied team total of less than 110 points five times this season and he has only scored over 18 points in one of those games. Last but not least, Murray has struggled with his shot this season, shooting 37% from the field and 28% on three-pointers, both of which are career lows for the veteran.

Murray’s 18.5-point line on DraftKings Sportsbook is simply too high for the guard Monday and backing him for this under is a wise move.
