Best Jamal Murray prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook

Jamal Murray 2+ points in the first three minutes (-135)

Murray has been one of the best early-game scorers in the league this season. The guard is leading the Nuggets with 2.2 points per game in the first three minutes. In this situation, Murray is leading Denver with a 26.4% usage rate while shooting 53% from the field.

Murray scored three points in the opening three minutes of Saturday’s series opener against the Timberwolves. He has scored at least two points in the first three minutes of three of his four matchups with Minnesota this season.

Murray has reached two points in the first three minutes of eight of his last 10 starts, and he should cash this early game prop once again in Game 2.
