- Dejounte Murray UNDER 20.5 Points (-120)

Keegan Murray OVER 17.5 Points (-120)
Keegan Murray has gone over this number in three of his first four games in the NBA, and he scored 16 in the game he didn't go over.
Murray is taking more than seven 3-pointers per game and canning 41% of them. He has given the Sacramento Kings a serious scoring punch and now will be facing a Charlotte Hornets team that is 11th in pace this season. The team will be willing to run with the Kings, who are sixth in that metric so expect plenty of possessions and scoring chances for the No. 4 pick. – Reed Wallach
Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 50.5 Points, Rebounds and Assists (-125)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is playing arguably his best basketball of his career, and he’s cleared this number in every game except the team’s season opener when he scored 21 points.
Giannis through 5 games:

🦌 34.4 PPG
🦌 14 RPG
🦌 5.8 APG
🦌 1.6 BPG

Obviously Giannis is going to need to score a lot to get to this number tonight, but the Pistons line up perfectly for him, ranking 29th in defensive rating and 20th in rebounding percentage.
Plus, the Pistons don’t have anyone outside of 18-year-old rookie Jalen Duren who can even match up with Giannis size wise. Don’t overthink this one. – Peter Dewey
Dejounte Murray UNDER 20.5 Points (-120)
The Toronto Raptors' length all over the court could be a problem for the newest backcourt star in Atlanta.
Via @PropBetGuy, the Raptors allow the fourth-fewest points per game to primary ball handlers, particularly on pick and roll, and also allow the fifth-fewest PPG in transition.
Oh, and it's Atlanta, so you know that if it's a loss, they're almost certain not to cover.
Last season, the Atlanta Hawks were 0-37 ATS in losses.

They did not cover in a loss as an underdog all season.
They are now 0-2 ATS in losses this season and are 4-point dogs against the Raptors on Monday night.
Look for Murray to be more of a distributor tonight and into Trae Young's hands in space whenever possible. With Murray on the court, Young is putting up monster numbers: 31.5 PPG and just under 10 assists/game.
Murray's one of my favorite players in the league, but I'll fade his point total this evening. - Ben Heisler
Tyrese Haliburton OVER 20.5 Points (-114)
In today's edition of "Fade the Brooklyn Nets," we're targeting Tyrese Haliburton to continue his breakout campaign. He's scored at least 24 points in five of Indiana's seven games this season and just had 26 with six 3-pointers against Brooklyn on Saturday, so he's on fire heading into tonight's rematch.
The Nets are a dumpster fire of an organization, both on and off the court, and I'll be looking to fade their pathetic defense as often as possible.
Brooklyn is dead-last in defensive rating in the NBA, while the Pacers are seventh in offensive rating. The Pacers play at the seventh-fastest pace as well, so Haliburton should get plenty of chances to score.
Haliburton was my pick to win Most Improved Player, and he's exceeded even my expectations. With 50%-46%-94% shooting splits, he's showcasing the kind of versatile offensive repertoire that should terrify the Nets. Back Haliburton with confidence to clear this prop once again.
