DEJOUNTE MURRAY NEWS

Puts up 28 points against Nets Murray registered 28 points (12-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 129-127 win over the Nets.

Impact Murray has been the perfect partner for Trae Young in the backcourt, and he's now reached the 20-point mark in three of his last four games, meaning he's showing the ability to put up points as well as do all the other little things to help his team win close games. Murray has averaged 19.7 points, 6.0 assists, 5.7 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.3 blocks per game across 10 February outings.

Sniffs triple-double in win Murray supplied 25 points (11-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 136-119 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Trae Young caught most of the attention due to his impressive 34-point, nine-assist performance Friday, but Murray deserves praise as well since he ended just one rebound and two assists away from recording what would've been his second triple-double of the campaign. Murray is averaging 18.8 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game in February.

Questionable to return Murray is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against the Knicks after sustaining a lower lip laceration, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Murray took a trip to the locker room after taking a shot to the face against New York. If he is unable to return, Aaron Holiday and Bogdan Bogdanovic would be in line for increased minutes.

Posts 20 points in loss Murray ended Monday's 144-138 loss to Charlotte with 20 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 40 minutes.

Impact Murray scored at least 20 points for the second time in his past six games, while his lack of defensive production remains a concern for managers. Over that same stretch, he has delivered seven steals and three blocks, well below managers' expectations. He is putting up third-round value for the season, although he sits barely inside the top 50 over the past two weeks. His defensive numbers should turn around at some point in the near future, meaning this could be a small buy-low opportunity for anyone interested in acquiring him via trade.

Pops for 19 in Tuesday's loss Murray closed with 19 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven assists, five rebounds and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 116-107 loss to New Orleans.

Impact The 26-year-old guard was questionable to play due to migraines, but Murray was able to suit up and deliver a solid performance. He's failed to score at least 20 points in three of his last six games, but his tenure in Atlanta so far has been a bit of a roller coaster -- he'd reached that mark in each of the prior seven contests while averaging 25.9 points per game over that stretch, but just before that Murray had endured a 12-game slump in which he managed only 18.4 points per night.

Cleared to play Tuesday Murray has been cleared to play against the Pelicans on Tuesday despite a migraine headache.

Impact Coach Nate McMillan said Murray felt better during the pregame interviews, and the guard was spotted going through his usual warmup routine. Murray has been on fire recently, and his minutes have been through the roof as usual.

Questionable Tuesday Murray (migraine) is questionable for Tuesday's game in New Orleans, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Impact Murray is dealing with a migraine, so he'll rest up and test himself closer to game time when he can attempt to get through his pregame routine. If he can't give it a go, Bogdan Bogdanovic could receive the spot start while Trae Young and John Collins would likely see an uptick in usage.

Leads way with 28 points, 10 dimes Murray logged 28 points (10-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 10 assists, four rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 128-108 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact While Trae Young (illness) sat out for the second time in four games, Murray once again stepped into a more pronounced role on the offensive end for Atlanta. Though he couldn't quite match the 40-point, eight-rebound, seven-assist line he delivered the last time Young sat Monday in Portland, Murray still came through with an exceptional fantasy line even though the Hawks were on the wrong side of a blowout. Young will likely be back in action Tuesday in New Orleans, where Murray could see a slight dip in usage.

Steady all-around effort Wednesday Murray posted 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight assists and six rebounds across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 132-100 win over Phoenix.

Impact Murray paced Atlanta in scoring in the blowout win, finishing with 20-plus points for the ninth time in his past 10 games. The veteran guard rounded out his stat line with eight assists and six boards, though he failed to record any defensive stats. Over the aforementioned 10-game stretch, Murray has averaged 25.7 points, 6.2 dimes, 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 three-pointers and 1.3 steals per contest.

Impact While backcourt mate Trae Young (ankle) sat out Monday, Murray took on an elevated 33.1 percent usage rate, his highest mark since Dec. 2. He paired the uptick in creation and scoring opportunities with better-than-usual efficiency from the field, free-throw line and three-point range, resulting in him netting a new career-high total in points. Young's injury isn't believed to be a long-term concern, so Murray could settle back into a secondary role on offense for Atlanta as soon as Wednesday's game in Phoenix.
