The huddle got it first Trey Murphy has now played two games since returning from injury and is getting as much Usage as he can handle with all of the Pelicans’ injuries. While his minutes may be capped to some extent, it is mitigated by the Usage bump. Murphy played 25 minutes in both games but got into some early foul trouble with 3 1H fouls last game. Despite that, he took 14 and 12 shots respectively but has gone just a combined 8/26 (31%) from the field including 4/14 from 3. Considering he is a 45%/39%/87% shooter over his career I expect those numbers to regulate. Now, he gets a matchup against the Denver Nuggets who will be without one of their best defensive options in Aaron Gordon. Denver also allows the seventh-highest frequency of above the break 3s which is a shot that Murphy has made a living from over his career. With all of the volume and the minutes only increasing, I like Murphy to exceed 14.5 points.
