The Nuggets are visiting the Thunder for a win-or-go home Game 7 in Oklahoma City on Sunday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Thunder are favored by eight points and Game 7 presents a total of 215 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Jamal Murray player prop to consider for Game 7.

Best Jamal Murray Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jamal Murray for 1+ points in the first three minutes (-125)

Murray is a must-bet for this prop with Aaron Gordon (hamstring) likely out. While the forward is listed as questionable for Sunday’s Game 7, Gordon has a Grade 2 hamstring strain and it is “becoming physically improbable” for him to play, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. Murray has been the Nuggets’ main option to begin games this season, especially with Gordon sidelined. In the 28 games Murray has played without Gordon this season, Murray is averaging 1.8 PPG in the first three minutes.

The guard is leading the Nuggets with a 22.8% usage rate in the first three minutes of games with Gordon inactive this season and Murray should have been far more favorited than -125 for this prop.
