Mike’s Analysis:

Trey Murphy III has a great matchup against the Heat, who play at the fastest pace in the league. He comes into this contest having averaged 29.5 points and 5.5 assists over his last four games. The Pelicans sent Jose Alvarado to the Knicks at the trade deadline, which has left Murphy with the ball in his hands even more. The last time Murphy faced the Heat, he produced 27 points and five assists in Miami. This rematch will be played in New Orleans, where Murphy shoots 49.3% from the field. I like his chances of hitting this over.
