Featured Game | New Orleans Pelicans vs. Atlanta Hawks

Why the pelicans can cover

Swingman Trey Murphy III was red hot behind the 3-point line. In his last two games, the sophomore has had 10 of 17 3-point wins (58.2%) over the Lakers and Kings. He scored a season-high 30 points on Sunday against Sacramento thanks to a 6-of-8 shooting from behind the arc. During the season, he shoots 40.2% on 3-point attempts.

In addition, New Orleans faces a team from Atlanta that is struggling to get 3-pointers. The Hawks are shooting just 34.8% from behind the arch this season, ranking 22nd in the league. (Last season they shot 37.4%.) Only 33.3% of their shots come from 3-pointers, which is the worst percentage in the NBA.

Why the Hawks can cover

Young has another stellar season as the two-time All-Star ranks third in the NBA for assists and averages a career-high 9.9 per game. He is also 12th in the league in scoring (27.0 points per game). After missing the team’s last game with a non-COVID illness, he is expected to play on Tuesday.

Also, Dejounte Murray (questionable; headache) is hooked on this road trip. In his last four games, Murray averaged 25.5 points and 8.3 assists per game while shooting 44.8% on 3-pointers. In the first game of the trip, he hit a career-high 40 points with 13 of 25 shots in Portland. Atlanta also face a team from New Orleans who are still missing star Zion Williamson (hamstring).
