Murray, Braun and Johnson will remain out for Sunday’s regular-season finale. Tyus Jones, Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther started Friday’s win over the Thunder, and all should get another start on Sunday. For those in active leagues who need scoring, Strawther may be the best option to slot into fantasy lineups.

Murray is one of several key Nuggets starters to show up on Thursday’s injury report as questionable. The veteran guard is having a career-best season in terms of scoring, passing, and three-point shooting. If he’s unable to play, the Nuggets will be without their lead ball handler and much of their offensive firepower.

Wednesday marked the fourth consecutive game that Murray has tallied at least three triples, and was the fourth time in the last seven games he’s drained five or more. More than at any other point in his career, the three-point shot has become an incredible weapon — Murray is posting career-highs in makes and percentage, which has led to the highest scoring season of his career. He finished the night as Denver’s leader in scoring and should enter the postseason with lots of positive momentum.

Murray had a relatively quiet first three quarters on Monday before coming alive down the stretch. His seven fourth-quarter points were more than he had totaled entering the period, and he added seven more in overtime to help nail the door shut on the Blazers. Murray’s contributions as a passer were important in the victory and his work on the defensive end led to a couple stocks. He’s had a career-best season, leading to lots of fantasy impact.

For the second time in four games, Murray reached double figures in assists. He didn’t do as much scoring on Saturday, which is a credit to San Antonio’s Stephon Castle, but the Nuggets’ offensive balance carried the day in their overtime victory. All five starters scored at least 15 points on the day. Murray and the Nuggets play four games in Week 24, starting with the Trail Blazers on Monday.

Despite making fewer than half of his 26 field goal attempts, Murray drained double-digit three-point shots for the second time this season. Five of his triples came in a red-hot opening quarter, while his final three came in the fourth period. Murray also made an impact with his passing and rebounds, but he was most effective tonight from beyond the arc. The Nuggets face the Spurs on Saturday, which is when the veteran guard will look to stay in rhythm.

Denver’s tandem of Murray and Nikola Jokić was outstanding on Sunday, helping the Nuggets pull away from the Warriors in the second half. Murray, who finished with a complete stat line, has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Nuggets are scheduled to play just two games in Week 23, which is unfortunate for those rostering Murray with their eyes on a league title.

Murray wasn’t able to match his 53-point performance from Wednesday’s win, but he was able to stay hot to help push Denver’s win streak to five games. It has been an incredible season for him, and he now ranks inside the top 10 in nine-category leagues over the course of the season. He’ll look to keep it going against the Warriors on Sunday to wrap up the week, though they only play two games next week, which will limit his fantasy impact.

Murray went off in what was an historic game for him and teammate Nikola Jokic. In what was the Nuggets’ 400th victory with the duo, Murray had 53 points and Jokic had a 23/21/19 triple-double. The 29-year-old point guard had 33 points in the first half in what was his fourth career 50-point game. The Nuggets still have two more games this week with a matchup against the Jazz on Friday up next.

Murray got hot late in this game, scoring 11 points in just the fourth quarter to help Denver win a third straight game. It certainly wasn’t his best performance, but he was able to figure things out late. This was his fourth straight game with at least six assists, and he has averaged 7.8 assists per game during this stretch. They still have three games left this week, so Murray should continue to pour in the stats, with Dallas up next on the schedule on Wednesday.

Neither Murray nor Nikola Jokić attempted a free throw in Sunday’s victory, a surprising development, given how much of the Nuggets’ offense runs through them. The former was efficient, shooting 50 percent from the field overall and 4-of-9 from three. Add in the assists, and this was a solid end to Week 21 for Murray. The Nuggets play four games in Week 22, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.

After totaling 31 points in his prior two appearances, Murray hit that number against the Raptors on Friday. And he was highly efficient in doing so, shooting over 50 percent from the field and 90 percent from the foul line. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a good night to roster Murray. Since the All-Star break, he has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats.

Murray logged 41 minutes on Wednesday and came close to logging his first triple-double of the season. He was particularly productive in the fourth quarter of this game, scoring seven points and dishing out six assists in an attempt to secure a second straight win. Instead, the Nuggets came up short and now find themselves just 2.5 games away from the seventh seed in the Western Conference. Murray and the Nuggets will have a chance to get back on track against the Raptors on Friday.

Murray and Gordon are back on the injury report, but both players are listed as probable, so they should be able to play. Gordon did not play in Thursday’s win over the Spurs, with Spencer Jones replacing him in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should plan for Gordon and Murray to take on their usual responsibilities, which would push Jones to the bench.

The “Blue Arrow” was at his best when the Nuggets needed him most, scoring 16 points in the third quarter on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. Murray was efficient throughout the night, making over half of his shot attempts and going a perfect 15-of-15 from the foul line. For the first time in just over a month, the Nuggets guard has scored at least 30 points in consecutive games. Murray will look to make it three straight when the Nuggets visit the Lakers on Saturday.

Murray and the Nuggets rolled to a 129-93 victory, pulling away thanks to a dominant third quarter. While Murray wasn’t too involved in the 40-point period, scoring four points, he shouldered most of the scoring workload in the first half. The 30 points were the second-most he’s scored in a game this month, trailing only his 45-point effort against the Jazz on March 2.

Murray injured his ankle on Friday but played through it on Monday, scoring 21 points in 37 minutes. He should play his usual workload against Houston on Wednesday, though if something changes, Jalen Pickett should step into a starting role.

Denver having two days off after Friday’s loss to the Knicks worked in the team’s favor, as Murray did not miss any games after exiting that contest before halftime. While he was able to play 37 minutes on Monday, the Nuggets guard missed all four of his three-point attempts on the night. However, Murray made just under half of his two-point attempts, and category league managers will be pleased with the rebounds and assists. Denver has a midweek back-to-back against the Rockets and Spurs that could be problematic for Murray, given the recent injury.

Murray exited Friday’s loss to the Knicks during the second quarter with a sprained left ankle. While he was officially considered questionable to return, the Nuggets’ star point guard did not, as the game had gotten out of hand. Jalen Pickett and Julian Strawther are the players most impacted by Murray’s availability. While the former is a point guard, the latter could be the starter if Murray sits, with Denver leaning even more on Nikola Jokić’s playmaking.

Murray sprained his left ankle during the second quarter of Friday’s game and walked back to the locker room with assistance. While the Nuggets announced at the start of the third quarter that the point guard was questionable to return, he never did. And with Denver on the wrong end of a blowout, there was no need for him to play. Tyus Jones made his Nuggets debut, finishing with three points, one rebound and one assist in 12 minutes. He and Jalen Pickett (one assist in nine minutes) could be asked to do more if Murray isn’t available for Monday’s game against the Thunder.

Murray got off to a hot start on Thursday, scoring 20 points in just the first half. Though he was much quieter after the break, he still matched Nikola Jokić as the leading scorers for Denver in the win. This was his fourth straight game with at least 25 points, and he has averaged 34.3 points and 5.5 triples per game during that stretch. This was the first night of a back-to-back, and he’ll look to wrap up the week with another strong performance against the Knicks on Friday.

While Murray was responsible for seven turnovers on Monday, the Nuggets’ guard was highly accurate when shooting the basketball. The 45 points were the most in a game for Murray since December 3, when he dropped a season-high 52 on the Pacers. He’s scored at least 40 points in four games this season, double his tally during the 2024-25 campaign. The Nuggets play two more games in Week 19, starting with the Lakers on Thursday.

Back in the lineup after an illness forced his early exit from Wednesday’s win over the Celtics, Murray still didn’t look his best physically on Friday. However, he still put up 39 points, the most in a game for the Nuggets’ guard since he hit that number in a February 4 loss to the Knicks. And the schedule won’t get any easier, as Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves is the first of two in as many games for Murray and the Nuggets.

Murray exited just a few minutes into Wednesday’s game due to this illness and could remain sidelined for another game. Jalen Pickett (knee) is also questionable, though he typically starts at point guard when Murray is out. KJ Simpson played 14 minutes off the bench in their last game and could get the nod if both Murray and Pickett are sidelined.

While Murray was on the Nuggets’ pregame injury report with a hamstring issue, the guard arrived at the arena for Wednesday’s game dealing with an illness. He tried to gut it out but had to exit during the second quarter and has now been ruled out for the rest of the night. Bruce Brown entered the lineup to begin the third quarter. Murray finished with two points and one assist in eight minutes.
