The Pelicans are visiting the Heat in Miami on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Heat are favored by 8.5 points and this game carries a total of 220.5 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 17.5 Points (-125)
Murray continues to be overpriced in the scoring department. The guard is averaging 16 PPG this season, and he has scored under 18 points in six straight games. Murray has struggled mightily with his shot this season, shooting 37% from the field and 27% from beyond the arc, both of which are career-worsts for the veteran.
As for his matchup, Murray is in a tough spot, going against the Heat on the road, who rank 10th in defensive efficiency and 27th in pace this season. Murray is averaging only 14.8 PPG on the road this season, and he tends to struggle in slow paced environments. To make matters worse, Miami is giving up the fourth-fewest points to point guards this season.
Murray should fall short of 17.5 points in this ugly spot and needs to be backed for this under on the DraftKings Sportsbook.
