Downgraded to doubtful Murray (ankles) is listed as doubtful to play Tuesday against Chicago, Vic Lombardi of Altitude Sports reports.

Battling bilateral ankle sprains Murray (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday against Chicago.

Impact Murray's status for the second game of Denver's back-to-back set Tuesday is undetermined, but he logged a full workload in Monday's win over Atlanta, delivering 29 points in 29 minutes. Murray is tending to soreness in both ankles, and although he didn't suffer any aggravation in Monday's contest, Denver could opt to be cautious in ramping up the 26-year-old.

Sniffs double-double in win Murray contributed 29 points (12-15 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 129-122 victory over Atlanta.

Impact The Nuggets had to work harder than expected down the stretch to close out the win over the Hawks, and Murray played a prominent role in the victory -- he led the team in scoring and finished just one rebound shy of posting his third double-double of the campaign. The star point guard has endured a tough time due to several injuries and has logged just seven games since the start of November, but he's excellent when available. As long as he's healthy, he should play a prominent role on offense for the Nuggets operating as the second-best option behind Nikola Jokic.

Impact Murray has not recovered entirely from the sprain affecting him of late, but the probable tag suggests he should play with little to no limitations against the Rockets.

Productive in loss Murray logged 23 points (10-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Although there was talk of a minute restriction for Murray, he played 29 minutes and appeared 100 percent after the ankle injury that sidelined him for 11 games. He sat out the back-to-back games after logging only 16 minutes in his return, and we may see some additional instances where Murray takes a seat for injury management.

Struggles from field in return Murray closed with 16 points (4-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and six assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 win over the Rockets.

Impact On the surface, Murray had a decent showing against Houston, especially when considering he hadn't stepped on the court since Nov. 4 due to a nagging hamstring injury that ruled him out for 11 straight games. He struggled with his shot, but other than that, he needs to get into a rhythm to get his numbers back to where they were prior to the injury. Before suffering the hamstring injury, Murray opened the campaign averaging 18.7 points, 8.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game in his first six outings.
