Trey Murphy III (NOP) Under 15.5 Points

Sat, Nov 16, 08:00 PM EST
Trey Murphy III has been a consistent scorer for the New Orleans Pelicans this season, averaging 14.3 points per game. However, his recent form suggests the under 15.5 points prop bet could be a wise play. Over his last 3 games, Murphy has gone under 15.5 points twice, hitting the under at an impressive 66.7% rate.
Digging deeper, Murphy's shooting numbers have been relatively inefficient. He's connecting on just 36.2% of his field goal attempts and a mediocre 27.8% from three-point range. His 48.8% true shooting percentage is underwhelming, especially for a high-volume scorer with a 26.7% usage rate. The veteran forward has needed nearly 14 field goal attempts per game to reach his modest scoring output.

With his recent struggles to eclipse 15.5 points and inefficient shooting numbers, the under appears to be a statistically sound bet for Trey Murphy III against the Lakers.
