Nets-Kings Player Prop: Keegan Murray
Keegan Murray O/U 11.5 Points
Keegan Murray and the Sacramento Kings ride a 3-game winning streak against the Brooklyn Nets who continue their west coast road trip. The Kings have their best roster in years and are looking to make a statement tonight against the Nets who have the 6th best odds to win the Finals. Murray is coming off a career-best five 3-pointers and 21 points against the reigning champion Golden State Warriors and will to replicate that performance at home.
The Brooklyn Nets have been one of the best defensive units in the league since Kyrie Irving started serving his suspension. They have the 4th best defensive efficiency in the league at 107 and their last five games, they’ve held four of their opponents to under 100 points. The Kings present a tough matchup for the Nets. They rank 6th in the league in pace of play and speedy point guard De’Aaron Fox can beat any defender off the dribble. Out of Murray’s five made 3-pointers, three of them came off a De’Aaron Fox assist. Starting center Domantas Sabonis averages close to three offensive rebounds per game and tends to kick it out to the Kings’ lethal 3-point shooters.
Murray loves playing behind the Sacramento Kings home fans and should deliver on another NBA prop. In five career home games, he’s over this line in all five and averaging over 18 points per game. He’s shooting close to 50% from the arc at home and has made at least three 3-pointers in all of them. The Nets are allowing the 6th most 3-pointers per game at 13 and with a 226-point total, Murray will continue to see his normal workload of at least 10 field goal attempts per game.
