New Orleans has a new look on offense that will take time to mesh. Starting guard Dejounte Murray averaged 17.5 points per game last season, but is recovering from an injury and won't be around for a few months. 19-year-old lottery pick guard Jeremiah Fears will get minutes in the backcourt, along with newcomer Jordan Poole, who was picked up in a trade from the Washington Wizards. Memphis coach Tuomas Iisalo gets the full-time job after taking over the final 11 games. He's more of a disciplinarian than his predecessor. The Grizzlies traded starting guard and third-leading scorer Desmond Bane (19.2 ppg, 5.3 apg), which included getting four first-round draft picks. This is too high a total, considering all the new pieces at key offensive spots. Take New Orleans/Memphis UNDER the total.
