Trey Murphy III is averaging 30.3 ppg since the calendar flipped to January — tied for the fifth-best mark in the NBA over that span. It’s Murphy’s three-point game that’s been particularly hot as he’s dropped Over 3.5 treys in three straight and six of his last seven outings while shooting 41.1% from long range.
Houston’s newfound offensive confidence should carry over tonight against a New Orleans Pelicans defense that struggles to contain the perimeter and protect the paint consistently.
New Orleans’ issues aren’t on the offensive end. When healthy, the Pelicans play fast and loose, pushing tempo and creating scoring opportunities on both sides of the ball.
That pace, combined with Houston’s improving shot quality, points toward a high-scoring environment in Space City.
