Look of the Day for Tuesday, Feb. 27: In a hurry to back Murray

Scottie Barnes crushed his points + rebounds + assists line on Monday night to give us our fifth win in our last six Look of the Day picks. Let's keep the momentum rolling with a similar bet for Tuesday night's NBA slate. 

Look of the Day: Dejounte Murray over 40.5 points + rebounds + assists (-106 FanDuel)

The Atlanta Hawks are beat up right now. Trae Young is out for the next four weeks with a finger injury, Onyeka Okongwu will miss two weeks with a sprained toe and Clint Capela is still on a minutes limit since returning from an adductor strain. 

It's officially Dejounte Murray time in the ATL.

In six games without Young this season, Murray is averaging 26.2 points, 9.0 assists and 6.3 rebounds. The point guard put up 25 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds against a tough Orlando Magic defense without Young on Sunday. Now he gets a much friendlier matchup against the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz rank dead last in the NBA in assists allowed to opposing point guards and 25th in rebounds allowed to the same position. Utah has also given up 126.7 points per game over its last six, and it has the worst defensive rating in the league over that span.

The Hawks and Jazz rank fourth and eighth, respectively, in pace this season, so this should be a fast-paced game with little defense on either side. Murray will be the main scoring and playmaking offense for Atlanta, and he'll need to help out on the boards more than usual with Okongwu out and Capela on a minutes limit.
