Double-doubles in win Murray accumulated 11 points (4-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and four steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 win over the Wizards.

Impact This game was over in a hurry, so that explains the low minutes for Murray. Although it wasn't his best shooting night, Murray secured his second double-double of the campaign and continues to be an elite source of steals. Over his last eight contests, Murray is averaging 2.3 steals per game.

Pops for 20 in OT win Murray ended Wednesday's 147-145 overtime win over Brooklyn with 20 points (6-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 39 minutes.

Impact The veteran guard was dealing with a minor quadriceps bruise heading into Wednesday, but it didn't stop Murray from scoring at least 20 points for the eighth time in the last 11 games. He's averaging 23.5 points, 5.5 assists, 4.6 boards, 3.0 threes and 1.6 steals over that stretch on strong 49/46/85 shooting, and while he won't average the near triple-double he did in his final season for the Spurs as long as Trae Young is healthy for the Hawks, Murray appears headed for a career-best season from beyond the arc.

Good to go against Brooklyn Murray (quadriceps) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Nets.

Impact Murray has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite dealing with a right quadriceps contusion. There is no indication that Murray will be on a minutes restriction despite playing on the second night of a back-to-back.

Hawks guard Dejounte Murray questionable for Wednesday vs. Nets It is unclear when Murray sustained the injury, but he came up limping during Tuesday‘s game against the Pacers.

NOVEMBER 22, 2023 • AJC.COM

Late addition to injury report Murray is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right quadriceps contusion, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Murray wasn't listed on the Hawks' initial injury report but is now in danger of missing his first contest of the season. Given Wednesday's matchup is the second night of a back-to-back set, Murray's potential absence could just be precautionary, but it's certainly something to monitor moving forward. If Murray is sidelined, Bogdan Bogdanovic, AJ Griffin and Wesley Matthews would be candidates for increased roles.

Carries offense in win Murray amassed 32 points (11-21 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-9 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Tuesday's 126-120 victory over the Pistons.

Impact Murray supplied his first double-double of the season and his second game with 30-plus points. The absence of Trae Young (personal) showcased the booming production Murray is capable of when operating as an alpha in the backcourt. Murray is shooting a stellar 50.0 percent from the field on 17.0 shots per game, fueling a top-5 fantasy campaign among all shooting guards.

Stuffs stat sheet Saturday Murray produced 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Heat.

Impact Murray was impressive on both ends of the court Saturday, and while he's never going to be asked to lead the offense while sharing the backcourt with Trae Young, he has proven to have the ability to complement the star floor general exceptionally well. Murray is valuable across all formats due to his two-way play, and his upside gets an uptick when scoring at an above-average rate. To note, Murray has now scored at least 20 points in five of his last six appearances.

Scores team-high 29 points in loss Murray ended with 29 points (7-16 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Murray drained six three-pointers, vaulting him over Trae Young as the leading scorer for the Hawks. Atlanta is running a nine-player rotation, resulting in maximum minutes for the starters. While stacking Young and Murray is not the best fantasy strategy, the depleted roster gives both players plenty of opportunity to be viable concurrently.

Sniffs triple-double in win Murray logged 20 points (8-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists over 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-105 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact Trae Young stole all the headlines with his double-double and Jalen Johnson turned heads with an eye-popping 21-point performance, but Murray ended just two rebounds and three assists away from recording a triple-double while operating as Young's sidekick in the backcourt. Murray has now scored at least 20 points in three games in a row, and when factoring in all the contributions he usually delivers in other categories, then he is a strong play in fantasy regardless of the format.

Strong all-around effort Murray logged 24 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 win over the Wizards.

Impact Murray was efficient from the field and contributed in each of the five major categories en route to delivering another excellent performance, building off his 41-point, seven-rebound effort against the Timberwolves on Monday. Murray is not going to takeover Trae Young's place as Atlanta's main playmaker or scoring weapon, but there's no question he's enjoying a strong start to the campaign. Murray is averaging 21.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game while shooting an impressive 53.7 percent from the field to open the season.

Ties career scoring high Murray ended Monday's 127-113 win over Minnesota with 41 points (17-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes.

Impact The Hawks were down 19 points at halftime, but Murray took command in the second half and wound up tying his career high for scoring in a game -- a mark he set March 3 of last season against the Trail Blazers. The offensive eruption comes after he hadn't produced more than 18 points in any of the first three games of his second campaign with Atlanta, but the 27-year-old guard is more than capable of going on a heater now that he's settled into the season.
