At first glance, this may not look to have value, but when you look deeper it does. Trae Young will be sidelined for quite some time and Dejounte Murray should once again see his usage skyrocket. Murray gets a Jazz team that allows most assists to point guards.
Utah Jazz vs. Atlanta Hawks Pick
In games without Young we have seen Murray hit this in six of his last eight games. In the last game, he saw 39 minutes so Atlanta isn’t afraid to play him more minutes than his average to make up for the loss of their superstar. Utah has been giving up assists in bunches. Recently, they have allowed D'Angelo Russell, Tre Jones, and Steph Curry to hit this with ease.
This game is projected to be both high scoring and close in score. If Murray sees the minutes he should, then we have a really good shot here. The hit rate without Young is great and the matchup couldn’t be better, this is my favorite play of the day. Let's roll!
