Jamal Murray accounted for 38 points (14-of-23 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and five three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Rockets.
Well, Murray and Nikola Jokić had productive nights on Monday, but the other Nuggets starters played as if they’d left their skills in Mexico City. Murray shot 9-of-14 from the field in the second half, scoring 23 of his game-high 38 points. Based on his preseason ADP, fantasy managers expected Murray to deliver second-round value. Through nine games, he’s been a first-round player in 12-team formats.
