Those games also marked two of Murray\u2019s three lowest-scoring outputs since Jan. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian did a lot of heavy lifting in January with Jokic sidelined, averaging 27.7 points in what\u2019s been a career-best offensive season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even as his scoring has gone up, so has his assist production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">Bet on Murray, Jokic, Cunningham &amp; more<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Murray is averaging a career-high 7.5 assists.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He has 21 assists over Denver\u2019s last two games and has big upside. Murray has produced double-digit assists in 38% of his games since January.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pistons, No. 2 in the NBA in defensive rating, are strong vs. opposing guards and defend the perimeter well, where Murray excels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Jokic inches his way back to normal minutes, expect the three-time MVP to lead Denver\u2019s offence once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\"><strong>Key stat<\/strong>: Murray is 25-20 vs. this line this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-479767b6-5872-497b-ac44-239c07c7e3d5\">Today&#8217;s NBA player prop predictions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>McCollum over 16.5 points (-127):<\/strong> Tonight\u2019s Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat game has Tuesday&#8217;s highest total by far (240.5).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">At NorthStar Bets: Wager on NBA props, futures &amp; more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These teams rank No. 1 and 2 in the NBA in pace and combined for 237 points in their lone meeting earlier in the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There should be plenty of scoring, and McCollum looks like a good player to target.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite coming off the bench and seeing a reduction in minutes since getting traded from the Washington Wizards, McCollum\u2019s shot volume has ticked up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veteran guard has played 11 games with Atlanta, averaging 18.0 points. He\u2019s gone for 20-plus in half of those contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-&gt; <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg0JnA9MzEwMjU%3D\">Bet on tonight&#8217;s NBA slate now<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NBA best bets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maxey over 3.5 threes (<b>+120)<\/b><\/strong>: Maxey will be playing on a back-to-back but I expect the electric guard to take advantage of a favourable situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Star teammate Joel Embiid is most certainly out, removing a huge offensive force from this game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Golden State Warriors are swimming in trade rumours ahead of Thursday&#8217;s deadline and will be without several key players, including Steph Curry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Additionally, Jimmy Butler is out for the season, Jonathan Kuminga is sidelined, and Draymond Green has been linked in Giannis Antetokounmpo deals.
