Dejounte Murray News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans | FOX Sports

Pops for career-high 40 Murray finished with a career-high 40 points (13-26 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 9-9 FT) to go with eight rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Monday's 129-125 loss to the T...

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.

Rattles off full line Murray finished Saturday's 120-113 loss to the Clippers with 15 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 39 minutes.

Impact Murray was inefficient in the loss, yet he ended with a well-rounded performance. In what has been an up-and-down season, Murray continues to adjust to life alongside Trae Young. The former's numbers have taken a hit across the board when compared to last season, although interestingly, his made three-pointers have increased from 1.4 to 2.0. When all is said and done, Murray should end the season as a solid third-round talent, a little below where he was being drafted.

Impact Twelve of those points came in the fourth quarter as Atlanta held off a comeback attempt from Miami. Murray's five made threes were his best performance from beyond the arc since he went 8-for-13 against the Rockets on Nov. 25, and it's a positive sign for the 26-year-old, who had shot just 29.5 percent (18-for-61) from downtown since returning from an ankle injury in mid-December.

Teases triple-double in loss Murray racked up 24 points (10-26 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 108-107 loss to the Nets.

Impact Murray threw up 26 shots in the loss, shouldering more of the offensive load after Trae Young was ruled out with a quad injury. While he did manage just one defensive stat, this was his most complete performance in some time. As long as Young is sidelined, Murray should get a sizeable bump on the offensive end, meaning a sell-high opportunity could be looming.
