Best PrizePicks NBA Player Props Nov. 28
Jamal Murray over 24.5 Points + Assists
It’s been quite the calendar year for Murray who has been working his way back from a knee injury that caused him to miss the entire 2021-2022 season. After starting this season on a bit of a minutes restriction Murray is back to playing his usual role for the Nuggets. He’s averaging 31.6 minutes per game in November after he averaged just 26.6 minutes per game in October. Over the nine November games he’s played he has averaged 16 field goal attempts per game, three more shot attempts per game than he was averaging last month. He’s put up solid numbers in terms of scoring and assisting over his last five as he’s recorded 25.05 points/assists over that span. Tonight, he and the Nuggets square-off against the Houston Rockets who’re allowing opponents to score over 116 points per game, the 7th-most in the NBA this season. Eight different starting point guards have recorded 25 or more points/assists against the Rockets this season.
Best PrizePicks NBA prop: Jamal Murray over 24.5 Points + Assists
Tyrese Haliburton over 18.5 Points
This line was consistently around 20.5 just a week or two ago but it’s been dropping a bit recently. Haliburton has been having solid games, particularly assisting the basketball. However, he is still extremely valuable as a scorer in this offense. Over his last five outings he averaged 15 field goal attempts per game, and he had 19 or more points in two of those games. Tonight, he gets the benefit of playing against a Lakers team that has allowed opposing point guards to have some solid performances. There have been nine occasions this season where a starting point guard played 32 or more minutes against the Lakers. Of those nine occasions the starting point guard recorded 19 or more points six times, good for a 75% hit rate. That stat bodes well for Haliburton considering he’s playing 33.7 minutes per game on the season. Using the OddsShopper tools bettors will find that this play is listed at -111 over on FanDuel.
