With this trade reshaping both the Pelicans and Hawks, Andre Snellings and Eric Moody break down what fantasy managers and sports bettors need to know about the deal. Fantasy basketball opportunity for Pelicans and Hawks For the Pelicans, this balances out their lineup and gives them the true point guard they've been missing. While CJ McCollum is a strong combo guard who can be a playmaker in spurts, Murray is actually a full-time point guard on both sides of the ball. With the Spurs, before he went to the Hawks, Murray was one of the best defensive guards in basketball, with the size and physicality to make life tough on opposing points. He'll have the opportunity to be that again for the Pelicans, and he'll be able to re-utilize the distributing skills he often had to subsume next to Trae Young to create easier shots for Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and McCollum. Murray has also become a much better shooter/scorer in the past few seasons as well, so he should be able to take advantage of shot opportunities created by playing off of the other talented finishers on the Pelicans. Looking at this from a fantasy perspective, Murray is a winner who should have a higher usage rate and more offensive production, particularly assists but perhaps points too, while playing with the Pelicans. McCollum's scoring volume might remain similar, but he likely loses an assist or two and generates numbers closer to when he was in Portland. It isn't clear whether Ingram and Williamson will both be back, but if so their shooting percentages could increase slightly but their own assist totals could dip as well. Meanwhile in Atlanta, if Young stays on the team he would seem to have the ultra-green light now with Murray gone. Having two All Star caliber lead guards on one team ate into both player's production, and now Young would return to his volume opportunities of a few seasons ago and perhaps be a top-10 fantasy hoops producer. Outside of Young, though, the Hawks are now full of young players and finishers who could step into Murray's scoring void. Jalen Johnson had a breakout season last year and could be on the verge of making a leap. Keep an eye on Daniels, too. He was the ninth overall pick in the 2022 draft and, as a 6-7 guard, has the size to potentially play with Young but the lead guard skills to play in the backcourt with Bogdan Bogdanovic. Daniels was never able to get things going in New Orleans with a Pelicans squad with playoffs goals, but on a Hawks team in rebuild mode he should have less pressure and more opportunity to see if he can again find the form that once made him a lottery pick. -- Andre Snellings Which bets to make on the Pelicans This is a great move for the Pelicans. Dejounte Murray provides them with a scoring guard who can also defend. He was one of only two players last season to record 1,500 points, 500 assists and 100 steals. The other player to accomplish this feat was Nikola Jokic. Also, Murray provides the Pelicans with a dependable player in the clutch. New Orleans was 0-22 last season when trailing entering the fourth quarter. Murray will significantly help the Pelicans in the assists department. Last season, New Orleans' guards accumulated only 679 assists, the fewest by any team's group of guards. There are rumors that Brandon Ingram might be on the move, but I don't see Murray being the Pelicans' only move this offseason. However, this is a great first step in continuing to build a contender around Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum, especially after being swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Bettors should consider taking a position on the Pelicans (+2000) to win the Western Conference now as free agency unfolds. Also, keep an eye on New Orleans' win totals once they become available. -- Eric Moody 5027cdd7ac9ba84d3f603d02e07803dc Pexels Tamil King 3214064 5aab7fcbe36484a6aefe7c4e8e2fde95 Shutterstock 1377958868 1000x667 8583234ef498a788c67b17d17a0885d2 C58696250cb8d6817628909afbb3ea52 145be0bd68d29ce2c3bb0a2fedada959 Cd8c6aa176f0d61857abc5bf64ce4ef5 Simple Kitchen Design 2023 65bb48d60e26ad7f72e5c661607f27d6 Helfordln 35 58e07f2960b8494cbbe1d63b9e513f59 Kitchen Ideas 2021 Handleless Interior Design 4d8d1066733833662f0ba5800b06c5dc Vintage Kitchen Trend 2023 829x1024 2023 Kitchen Design Trends DHD 768x597 C56698df58986b40f226558f65c380dd F5d302caa042378d7bcecc1eac918d22 Shutterstock 1784492126 1000x667 2 1673453547 B911d1fbabc46654befa26a6475c0d5a 7f8a3ef97bd9a33668f2ba6c4500208f Adobestock 300102803 Best Kitchen Trends 2023 You Should Know Metal Element Kitchen Decor 2021 Mix Match Style Interior Design 2048x1367 Shutterstock 1312987121 2048x1205 8d7d488bedd98d8cf92aa5f7bf96f676 41acb6ec21b494923a41d6295d14d8f2 Wood Kitchen Cabinets Pictures Options Tips Ideas Hgtv Cucine Moderne 2021 Best Kitchen Trends 2023 You Should Know Kitchen Design 2023 Ideas To Create Super Trendy Designs 1.2 Kitchen Remodel Ideas 2023 Liana S 6487ba4e520ad5f6b51c028309fddbf9 492A0121 2024 Kitchen Design Trends And Ideas 4
