I like Over 235 in Nuggets-Pelicans because Jamal Murray's shooting meets a defense that just allowed 18 threes.
Through Wednesday, Murray was shooting 51.3% from three this season, best in the NBA among players with at least 75 attempts. He's projected to start for Denver.
New Orleans allowed Brooklyn 20 threes Wednesday and Memphis 18 Friday. The Pelicans gave up 145 and 142 points in those games.
New Orleans scored 111 in each game. Another 111 would leave Denver needing 125 to cash, below what those last two opponents scored against the Pelicans.
