Murray

Murray had his 14th game this season with at least 30 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons. The 28-year-old guard got to the free throw line multiple times in the final minute of regulation, doing enough to keep the Nuggets within one possession before finally missing one crucial free throw and finishing 12-of-13 from the line. Murray has provided first-round value this year. The Nuggets will be back on the floor Wednesday for the second game of the back-to-back against the Knicks on the road.

With the Thunder limiting Nikola Jokić to 16 points and nine shot attempts, Sunday was a night when the Nuggets needed an elite effort from Murray. Unfortunately for him, Oklahoma City was able to make his night difficult as well, with the 12 points being the fewest Murray’s scored in a game since a December 11 win over the Kings in which he finished with 11. Given Murray’s season-long production, there’s no need for concern after one challenging performance. The Nuggets play three games in Week 16.

Murray is officially available after initially being listed as probable for Sunday’s game. He’ll occupy his usual place within the Nuggets’ starting lineup.

Murray is back on the injury report, but the probable tag suggests he should be good to go Sunday night. He’s scored at least 20 points in 17 of his last 18 appearances, and has a good shot of hearing his name called as an All-Star Game reserve before Sunday’s showdown with the Thunder.

Murray didn’t take as many shots as he typically does, but he was incredibly efficient and nearly recorded a double-double. This was his fifth straight game with at least 20 points, and he has reached that mark in 17 of his last 18 outings. Murray should appear in his first All-Star Game this season, and he has been one of the best players in fantasy basketball all year. He’ll look to wrap up the week with another strong performance against the Thunder on Sunday.

Murray was initially listed as probable, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that he’ll suit up. He had 27 points against Brooklyn on Thursday and will look to stay hot against LA in this game.

Murray is back on the injury report, but the probable tag suggests that he’ll be available to play. And the Nuggets’ guard could have some help on Friday, as Nikola Jokić is questionable after missing the last month with a left knee injury.

Murray extended his run of games with at least 24 points to four on Thursday, helping the Nuggets hold off the Nets in Denver. Over the past month, he has been a top-10 player in eight-cat formats, more than picking up the slack as the Nuggets play without Nikola Jokić. Denver plays two more games in Week 15, starting with the Clippers on Friday.

Murray is officially available after being listed as probable on the initial injury report. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting point guard, sharing the backcourt with Jalen Pickett.

While Murray continues to appear on the Nuggets’ injury reports, he is once again listed as probable. After struggling from three in Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons, look for the Nuggets’ guard to bounce back against the shorthanded Nets.
