Murray was one of many Nuggets who did not play in Friday’s loss to the Hawks. Jalen Pickett replaced him in the starting lineup and would do so again if Murray can’t play on Sunday.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Murray’s status has been downgraded twice since and he will not be available. Jalen Pickett was the replacement the last time Murray missed a game, scoring 29 points in a win over the 76ers on Monday. If he starts, Pickett is worth plugging into lineups in deeper leagues.

Murray was initially listed as probable, but now there is a real chance he misses this game. Jalen Pickett would likely return to the starting lineup in that scenario, where he had 29 points, seven assists and seven triples earlier this week.

Coming off a career-high 17 assists in Wednesday’s win over the Celtics, Murray is dealing with an illness and a sprained left ankle. However, the probable tag suggests that he’ll be cleared to play against the Hawks. If Murray can’t go, Jalen Pickett will be called on to absorb most of the minutes that would go to the Nuggets’ starting point guard.

Back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Monday’s win over the 76ers, Murray made up for lost time with one of his best all-around lines of the season. The Nuggets’ point guard racked up a career-high 17 assists, finishing two rebounds shy of a triple-double. Murray’s final line was Nikola Jokić-like, and the Nuggets need that level of production from him with the three-time MVP still recovering from a left knee injury. Over the past week, Murray has offered top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster.

Murray and Braun are back after sitting out Monday’s win over the 76ers. Their returns mean that Bruce Brown and Jalen Pickett will come off the bench, limiting their respective fantasy value. Also, while Aaron Gordon is available, he will once again come off the bench, leaving Jones with the starters.

Murray and Braun should be back in action following a one-game absence, which means Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown should see their minutes reduced against Boston.

Murray and Braun sat out Monday’s upset win over the 76ers, but they’ve got a chance to return following a one-game absence. If Murray and Braun are out for a second straight game, Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown would be in line for bumps in playing time and production. Pickett went for 29/5/7 on Monday, and Brown finished with 19/6/2.

Braun returned from a lengthy absence on Sunday, and Murray has been dealing with an ankle injury of his own, so it’s not surprising that both players will miss the second leg of Denver’s back-to-back set. Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown will likely take the lead in the Nuggets’ backcourt against the 76ers.

The 16 helpers were a season-high for Murray as he also topped 20 points for the 13th time in his last 15 games since a 52-point explosion back on December 3. The 28-year-old guard will be tasked with serving as Denver’s primary offensive catalyst while Nikola Jokić (knee) is sidelined until at least late January. He’s delivered second-round fantasy value this season, averaging 25.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.3 blocks through 34 games. The injury-ravaged Nuggets will play four games next week against Eastern Conference opponents with matchups against the 76ers, Celtics, Hawks and Bucks.

Murray was initially probable for Sunday’s game, so the status upgrade was expected. He’ll once again be Denver’s primary scoring option, but he will have help thanks to the returns of Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon.

Murray tweaked his left ankle during Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, but the probable tag suggests that he will be available on Sunday. With the Nuggets being as shorthanded as they currently are, the last thing the team needs is to lose Murray as well.

It became the de facto Murray show for the injury-plagued Nuggets in their second contest since losing superstar Nikola Jokić earlier this week to a hyperextended left knee that is expected to keep him sidelined into late January. The 28-year-old star put up a whopping 28 shots in this one, his third-most in a game this season, and broke the 30-point barrier for the 10th time. He poured in 28 points by halftime and was relatively quiet down the home stretch as Denver’s lead evaporated. He’ll be asked to carry Denver for the foreseeable future since they’re also playing without starters Aaron Gordon (hamstring), Christian Braun (ankle), Cam Johnson (knee) and Jonas Valanciunas (calf). It’s a positive short-term development from a fantasy standpoint as it significantly raises his scoring floor.

Initially probable for Friday’s game, Murray is officially good to go. He’ll once again take on the role of Denver’s primary offensive option as the team continues without the injured Nikola Jokić.

Murray appeared to tweak his ankle on Monday and was moving gingerly, but then played 38 minutes on Wednesday. The Nuggets cannot afford to lose him since he’s the only healthy starter they still have. We’d expect him to play through the tenderness on Friday and then perhaps have his minutes limited on Sunday against the Nets if the Nuggets can build a lead in that game.

While Murray will have plenty of opportunities to completely takeover the Nuggets offense with Nikola Jokic (knee) out for the next month, the 28-year-old point guard just had a different running mate Wednesday. It was Peyton Watson who stepped up with 24 points in Jokic’s absence. Murray still came through in the clutch with a layup with 13 seconds left to put the Nuggets up three. The Nuggets will be back in action Friday against the Cavaliers.

Murray has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, and his role became much more critical during Monday’s defeat. If the Nuggets are forced to play without Nikola Jokić, who injured his left knee during the second quarter, Murray will become the focal point of the offense. Denver continues its road trip on Wednesday in Toronto; more should be learned about the severity of its star center’s injury on Tuesday.

Murray shot the lights out in the first half, draining 7-of-13, including 2-of-5 from beyond the arc, to finish with a game-high 16 points. He hit a driving floater with 37 seconds left to put Denver back in front but wound up missing a fadeaway at the buzzer. The 28-year-old guard has been excellent of late, averaging 28.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 0.7 assists and 0.1 blocks across seven games over the past two weeks, delivering second-round fantasy value during that span.

Murray’s breakout season continued with another strong performance in this game. He had at least 30 points for the ninth time this season, with six of those coming over his last 10 games. This was also his second straight 30-point double-double, and he fell one three-pointer shy of matching his season high. Murray’s progress this season can be overshadowed by Nikola Jokic’s dominance, but he has provided first-round value this season and should be considered one of the premier options in fantasy basketball for the remainder of the season.

Murray is enjoying the best season of his career, and that continued in this game. He set a new season high for assists, and he has hit at least three triples in five straight games. Murray is averaging career highs for points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers per game while also having the most efficient shooting season of his career. He certainly has a strong case to be named to his first All-Star Game this season.

The Jazz didn’t put up much of a fight against the Nuggets on Monday as Denver was able to sit its starters for the entire fourth quarter. Murray was part of that group, but before he sat out the fourth he lit up the Jazz with an efficient shooting display. The 28-year-old point guard had 27 points on 16 attempts and made six three-pointers. After only playing 27 minutes, Murray should be well rested for Tuesday’s game against the Mavericks.

Two games removed from torching the Rockets for 35 points, Murray was held in check in Saturday’s rematch. This was just the eighth game this season in which the Nuggets guard failed to score at least 20 points. The good news for fantasy managers was that Murray recorded seven assists and two steals, providing solid value in those categories. The Nuggets play four games in Week 10, starting with the Jazz on Monday.

Over the past two weeks, Murray has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats. During this period, he’s scored at least 30 points on four separate occasions, including Thursday’s win over Orlando. His final stat line only lacked a blocked shot, but fantasy managers aren’t going to lose any sleep over that. Murray will look to notch another 30-point stat line when the Nuggets host the Rockets on Saturday.

Murray has yet to appear in an All-Star Game, but he’s playing well enough to change that this season. The Nuggets guard rebounded from a modest performance against the Kings by notching his fourth 30-point game of the season on Monday. In addition to shooting over 50 percent from the field, Murray attempted a season-high 15 rebounds, hitting double digits in that category for the first time this season. Murray and the Nuggets finish Week 9 with home games against the Magic and Rockets on Thursday and Saturday.

Murray didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but he did lead the Nuggets with nine assists. So far, he’s had at least nine helpers in seven games this season, something he only did six times in 2024-25. While Murray’s fantasy value is not on par with that of teammate Nikola Jokić, he is closing in on first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Nuggets play three games in Week 9, starting with the Rockets on Monday.

Except for the Nuggets’ December 1 loss to the Mavericks, which he left prematurely with a sprained right ankle, Murray has been on a roll since mid-November. Since November 15, the Nuggets guard has scored at least 30 points on four occasions, including Sunday’s efficient 34-point performance. During this time span, Murray has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, which is slightly better than his season-long value. While the Nuggets only play once in Week 8, it’s against a Kings team ranked in the bottom five of the NBA in points allowed and defensive rating.

He wasn’t able to come anywhere close to his 52 points from Wednesday’s game, but Murray was still able to have a productive night. 17 of his 23 points came in the second half to help Denver get the comeback win in Atlanta. Murray is enjoying the best season of his career, and it could result in his first All-Star appearance in February.

Murray’s dream start to the season continued Wednesday as he dropped 52 points on 25 shots in the win over the Pacers. The 28-year-old point guard knocked down a career-high 10 three-pointers. Murray is averaging career-highs across the board this year and ranks inside the top-10 in standard leagues.

Murray is all set to play after exiting Monday’s loss to the Mavericks with a sprained right ankle. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. missing out on boosts to their playing time. Both will still be in the rotation, but their fantasy upsides are limited.

Murray exited early on Monday, and there is a chance he remains out against Indiana. In Murray’s lone absence this year, which ironically came against the Pacers, Jalen Pickett started at point guard and played 17 minutes. He may get the nod, but Bruce Brown would be the better replacement for fantasy managers.
