Denver Nuggets vs. Houston Rockets Prediction

Jamal Murray 30+ Points (+750) Bet $100 to collect $850

Jamal Murray Over 19.5 Points (-105) Bet $100 to collect $195

We're at FanDuel for this one but we're also at DraftKings. That's right, two bets, different books, same guy. That's crazy. We're shooting the moon over at FanDuel because they are a high-class spot but we're also taking the standard line at DraftKings since they have the best price there. Right now they've got Jamal Murray O19.5 Points (-105). I'm all over that for my normal-sized play and then on the 30+ (+750) for my YOLO move. This could get wild.

I know what you're thinking, "John, this is the best idea I've ever heard of." Honestly, you're right. It doesn't get better than this. This could be the best idea I've ever had. Usually, I just pick one or the other in terms of YOLO moves and standard lines but this just felt right. We're talking Jamal Murray here people. The man can absolutely ball and everyone who has ever seen him play knows what I mean. He's filthy.

Being filthy isn't enough to stuff cash into our pockets in the NBA betting streets though. These guys need opportunity and Murray is getting it with Michael Porter Jr. being out. Porter Jr. is a guy that loves to let it fly. We're talking about a guy that takes 15-16 shots a game sometimes. Someone has to take those shots and while Aaron Gordon is a candidate, I still think Murray will big-boy him and take the shots himself. He's gone for 20+ points in four of the last five games including the only two he's played with Porter Jr. on the bench. We're talking about a guy who took 17 shots in just 25 minutes last time out.

Now I know the haters are going to say that there is blowout potential tonight since the Nuggets are playing the Houston Rockets but whatever. They just played them last game and Murray made light work of the Houston backcourt, finishing with 31 points in just 25 minutes. Even if the Nuggets whip the Rockets again, it will probably be because of Murray going HAM. Over the last seven days, the Rockets have given up almost 40 points per game to the position. They've actually given up 30+ points to the last four starting point guards they've played. This could be the greatest bet of all time.
