With a staggering hit rate of 19 out of his last 20 games, it's clear he's been consistently setting up his teammates beautifully. The Pelicans will rely on Murray to orchestrate their offense, and with an expected stat value of 7 assists, he should sail past that modest line of 3.5. Given the Mavericks' defensive struggles, this feels like a prime opportunity for Murray to showcase his playmaking abilities. Expect him to thrive in this crucial matchup.
