As the New Orleans Pelicans prepare to take on the Toronto Raptors, all eyes should be on Dejounte Murray for the rebounds and assists prop bet over 10.5. Murray has been on fire lately, consistently racking up an average of 6.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists over his last five games. What's particularly intriguing is that he ramps up his performance at home-against the Raptors, he's been averaging 7 rebounds and 6.2 assists at the Smoothie King Center.
