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.

The Trail Blazers are without Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant for Tuesday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. The void will be filled by Murray, who is making his first start of the season. Due to the injuries, he’s worth the streaming risk in deep leagues.

Murray is back after missing Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. With Matisse Thybulle (thumb) out, his playing time may increase. However, that isn’t enough to make Murray a player worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Murray did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. And with Matisse Thybulle departing during the first half after spraining his left thumb, Rayan Rupert entered the rotation and played 14 minutes. Thybulle has already been ruled out for Friday, making Rupert the “next man up” if Murray can’t play.

Added to the Trail Blazers’ injury report on Wednesday afternoon, Murray is officially out. Matisse Thybulle (hip) is available and can take on the minutes that would have gone to Murray. He is not worth the streaming risk on a 10-game night.

Anfernee Simons and Donovan Clingan were both late scratches due to illnesses. They will be replaced in the starting unit by Scoot and Murray, with Camara sliding over to start at center. Duop Reath should still play a large reserve role despite not starting.

With Toumani Camara (calf) sidelined on the second night of a back-to-back, Murray was part of the starting unit for the third time this season. While his first two starts were disappointing, Murray played well in this game. He didn’t do much scoring, but he set a new season-high for rebounds and finished with four steals for the second time in his last three appearances. Murray was solid in the increased opportunity, but it is unlikely that he remains in the starting unit moving forward, which will prevent him from contributing any value.

In addition to Jerami Grant, the Trail Blazers are without Toumani Camara for Monday’s game. Murray will replace him in the starting lineup, which allows the 2023 first-round pick to play starters’ minutes. Murray hasn’t been the most reliable player when starting, so he is not a must-stream player.
