Murray is back after missing Portland’s last two games. With Deni Avdija (back) also available, Murray will come off the bench, eliminating what little fantasy value he possessed when starting in place of the All-Star playmaker.

Murray missed Wednesday’s game against Memphis following an early exit on Sunday with this illness. Scoot Henderson entered the starting unit in place of Murray for that game and would likely be in line for another start if Murray remains sidelined.

Murray is not available after having to exit Sunday’s loss to the Hawks during the first half. With Deni Avdija also out, the Trail Blazers will have to look elsewhere for a starter, with Vit Krejčí and Scoot Henderson being potential replacements.

Murray had to exit Sunday’s loss to the Hawks after playing a handful of minutes due to illness. His departure resulted in more playing time for Vit Krejčí, who was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter. However, with Deni Avdija (back) also listed as questionable, he would play the lion’s share of the minutes if available.

Murray only played four minutes before exiting Sunday’s game with an illness, and he has been ruled out for the rest of the night. Vit Krejčí entered the lineup to begin the third quarter, which raises his fantasy ceiling for the rest of the night.

With Deni Avdija (back) sidelined, Murray entered the starting unit. This was only his third game back after missing over six weeks with a back injury, but he was still able to set a new season high for scoring. Murray is a solid rotation piece, but he hasn’t been able to make much of a fantasy impact throughout his first three seasons. He’ll hold some upside if Avdija remains out, but he shouldn’t be considered a must-roster player, even in deep leagues.

The Trail Blazers don’t have Deni Avdija for Tuesday’s game, as he is out after aggravating a lower back injury early in Sunday’s win over the Suns. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Murray, whose role is more impactful in dynasty leagues than redraft leagues. Scoot Henderson will continue to come off the bench.

Murray is good to appear in a game for the first time since January 5. He’ll provide added wing depth off the bench, but the third-year forward is not guaranteed to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball. Leave Murray on the waiver wire.

Due to a lumbar sprain, Murray has not appeared in a game since January 5. However, with the third-year wing practicing on Thursday, there’s a chance that he’ll be available for Friday’s game against the Nuggets. Given the time missed and the possibility that Matisse Thybulle will also be available, Murray is only worth rostering in dynasty leagues.

Murray suffered a back injury in Monday’s game against the Jazz. The 25-year-old small forward has been diagnosed with a lumbar strain in his lower back and there’s currently no timetable for his return. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) also out, Sidy Cissoko figures to start again Sunday.

Murray did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Rockets, opening up a place in the starting lineup for Sidy Cissoko. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) still out, Cissoko should get another start on Friday.

Murray, who has been Jerami Grant’s replacement in the starting lineup when available, appears to be on track to miss Wednesday’s game. If he sits, Sidy Cissoko will likely be the next man up. Cissoko is not a must-stream player.

Murray will be back after a one-game absence. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) still out, Murray will return to the starting unit. That will push Sidy Cissoko to the bench, though neither Murray nor Cissoko are worth streaming as starters.

Murray missed Monday’s game against Dallas, and he could end up missing a second straight game. Sidy Cissoko started in place of Murray and would likely be in for another start if Murray remains out. Murray has been starting in place of Jerami Grant, who is still sidelined with left Achilles tendonitis.

Murray’s right quad contusion will keep him out of Monday’s game after logging 30 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Celtics. He was filling in for Jerami Grant in the starting lineup, so Sidy Cissoko could be moved into the first five for Monday’s game. He’s only worth streaming in deeper leagues.

After going from questionable to probable ahead of Friday’s game, Murray’s recent upgrade to available should come as no surprise. The fourth-year forward tied a season high in points the last time he took the floor, and will enter Friday’s contest with a bit of momentum. Despite the strong recent performance, Murray is not someone fantasy managers should consider to be rosterable at the moment. He’ll likely remain in Portland’s starting lineup against the Clippers.

Murray was initially questionable for this game but is now expected to suit up. He will continue to fill in as a starter in place of Jerami Grant, who is set to miss a fourth straight game with left Achilles tendonitis.

Murray has filled in for the injured Jerami Grant (Achilles) for the last three games and will do so again if he’s cleared to play on Friday. However, if Murray can’t play, Sidy Cissoko may be the one who receives the call from interim head coach Tiago Splitter. Due to Portland’s lack of healthy options, Cissoko would be worth considering in deep leagues, but he is not a must-add.

This was a third straight start for Murray, who has replaced Jerami Grant while he is sidelined with Achilles tendonitis. It isn’t expected to be a long-term absence for Grant, but Murray should continue to start until he returns. Murray had been quiet as a starter, but he was able to match his season high for scoring in this one. However, it came as a result of a hot shooting night, not an increase in volume. He still isn’t worth streaming with Grant sidelined.

The Trail Blazers won’t have Jerami Grant’s services for Saturday’s game, as he has been ruled out due to a sore left Achilles. Murray will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup. While the opportunity does raise his fantasy ceiling, Murray is not a must-stream player. Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara and Donovan Clingan complete the starting five.

Portland is without Donovan Clingan, Robert Williams III and Yang Hansen due to injury. Interim head coach Tiago Splitter has decided to go small to begin Thursday’s game, with Murray moving into the starting lineup. The other change is Sharpe, who returns to the lineup at the expense of Sidy Cissoko.

Murray will be back after missing Wednesday’s game against Cleveland. However, Donovan Clingan (leg) is out. Murray started in place of Clingan the last time he missed a game, which could happen again. Regardless, Murray should at least see a bump in minutes.

Murray did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers, resulting in more playing time for Caleb Love. The rookie guard played 27 minutes on Wednesday and scored 20 points. If Murray remains out, Love would be worth a roll of the dice in extremely deep leagues.

Murray’s production does not affect fantasy basketball when he’s available. His absence will free up some minutes for Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert, with the former offering a higher offensive ceiling. However, neither player is worth streaming as Portland will have its expected starting five available.

Murray’s status for Wednesday’s game could have a larger impact than it typically would. Donovan Clingan (leg) is also questionable, and Murray started when Clingan last missed a game. With Robert Williams (knee) out, Murray’s status will be the main factor for deciding if Duop Reath and Yang Hansen will be part of the rotation for this game.

Murray got the starting nod with Donovan Clingan (illness) sidelined for this game. It was a smaller starting unit for Portland, and Murray wasn’t able to fill the void on the glass. However, he was able to score in double figures for just the third time this season. This was Murray’s second start of the season, and it was far more productive than the first. He won’t get the chance to start often, but he does have enough upside to make an impact in deeper league when he does.

With Donovan Clingan (illness) sidelined, Portland won’t turn to a traditional center to fill the void. That could work better against the Thunder, who are without Isaiah Hartenstein. Murray should see a significant boost in value and minutes for this game.
