Jamal Murray finished Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks with 39 points (15-of-33 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers.
Murray came out hot on Wednesday, scoring 20 of the Nuggets’ 30 first-quarter points. He struggled from beyond the arc, making only three of 14 attempts, which negatively affected the overall field-goal percentage. However, he’s recorded back-to-back 30-point games, and the 39 scored in Wednesday’s double-overtime defeat were the most in a game for Murray since January 17. The Nuggets play once more in Week 16, Saturday night in Chicago.
