Jamal Murray Over 28.5 PA 

Murray is facing the LA Lakers on Opening Night. We know how the Nuggets offense works and plays. Their starting 5 hasn't changed, same starting 5 as they had last season. Murray will be shooting the ball a ton today and dishing it out to his other 4 teammates. In Murray's last 5 games vs the Lakers he's hit this line 3/5 games, the 2 games his missed one he only played 27 mins and the other he only missed by 2. In the last game he dropped 34 points with 4 assist. I look for Murray to get around 5-7 assist tonight and score in the high 20s. Other than Jokic, Murray will have the 2nd highest assist on the team in this game. Don't see a lot of defense being playing in tonight's game, when usually early in the season that happens. There was a good amount of SGs last season that averaged more then 20ppg vs D'Angelo Russell. Also averaging between 4.7-5.1 assist per game.
