RecapJamal Murray led the Nuggets with 35 points (10-of-19 FGs, 11-of-11 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four three-pointers in a 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers on Monday.
Murray has been on a tear since the season opener. He was held to just six points in that game but has averaged 31.6 points, 6.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 5.4 triples while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 52.9 percent from deep in their five games since. This was his third game with at least 35 points in that stretch, and while it wasn’t enough for them to win, he continues to be a fantasy star and will look to stay hot against the Raptors on Wednesday.
