The Nuggets are visiting the Rockets on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Houston is favored by 7.5 points and this game presents a total of 223.5 points.

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

Best Jamal Murray Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jamal Murray U 19.5 Points (-110)

While Nikola Jokic (ankle) remained out, Murray (ankle) made his return from a two-game absence Friday vs. the Trail Blazers and looked rusty, scoring only 10 points in a full workload of 35 minutes. Starting alongside Russell Westbrook for this contest, Murray handled an underwhelming 17% usage rate, which ranked last of the Nuggets’ starting five.

Jokic will remain sidelined Sunday and Murray is only averaging 18.3 PPG with Jokic inactive this season (seven games). Murray’s matchup is also not ideal, going against the Rockets on their home floor. Houston ranks third in defensive rating this season and Denver being a 7.5-point road underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook doesn’t bode well for Murray.

The guard is scoring only 18.3 PPG in losses this season and Murray is a strong bet for under 19.5 points Sunday.
