Player Prop #3: Jamal Murray / Over Assists / 5.5 at -120 / 65% / Murray dishes 6.8 assists per game, boosted by Denver’s high pace (101.2 possessions), and has cleared this in 70% of matchups vs. Houston’s perimeter defense.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment leans toward Houston, aligning with money distribution and sharp action, making a follow strategy optimal as metrics confirm value without significant contrarian signals. Denver’s offensive firepower keeps the total in play for over, but Houston’s home defense (110.8 DRtg) tempers explosive outputs.
