Good to go against Houston Murray (back) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Murray has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday with back soreness. The star guard is averaging 23.8 points, 8.0 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 33.0 minutes across his last five appearances.

Questionable against Houston Murray is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets due to low back pain.

Impact Murray was a strong contributor during Sunday's overtime win over the Clippers, posting 21 points, 12 assists, five rebounds and two steals in 41 minutes. However, he's dealing with a back issue following the victory, and it's unclear whether he'll be available Tuesday. If he's sidelined against Houston, Reggie Jackson and Bruce Brown are candidates to see increased playing time.

Double-doubles in OT win Murray contributed 21 points (8-22 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Sunday's 134-124 overtime win over the Clippers.

Impact Murray struggled with his three-point shot but still managed to top the 20-point mark for the first time since Feb. 4. He also dished out his most assists since Jan. 20 en route to his fourth double-double of the campaign. It was by far the point guard's best performance since returning from a six-game absence due to right knee soreness, and it's safe to expect more of this type of production from Murray moving forward.

Officially available vs. Clippers Murray (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Murray was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup due to right foot inflammation, so it's not very surprising to see him available against the Clippers. Over two appearances since the All-Star break, he's averaged 12.0 points and 6.5 assists in 29.0 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed probable for Sunday Murray is probable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to right foot inflammation.

Impact Murray finished with eight points (3-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 112-94 loss to the Grizzlies. The fact that he's listed as probable suggests he has a strong chance of suiting up, but fantasy managers should still confirm his status ahead of the 10 p.m. ET tipoff. If he ends up being ruled out, then Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown and Ish Smith would be in line for bigger roles.

Struggles from field in loss Murray finished with eight points (3-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Saturday's 112-94 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Murray had a woeful performance from the field in this one and looked awful overall, failing to make an impact in a game where the Nuggets looked overmatched most of the time. However, this is probably nothing more than a bad game for the star point guard, who's averaging 24.5 points per game in four outings this month.

Approaches double-double in return Murray finished with 16 points (6-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine assists, two steals and one rebound across 33 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 victory over the Cavaliers.

Impact Murray missed each of Denver's last six games due to a knee injury, and while he returned for the Nuggets' first game out of the All-Star break and took on close to a normal workload, his poor shooting from the field led to an underwhelming finale line. The star point guard still ended up just one dime shy of posting what would have been his fourth double-double of the season. Murray's production has been up on the whole since the beginning of January, as he's averaging 23.5 points, 6.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 treys over his last 17 contests.

Will play Thursday Head coach Michael Malone said Murray (knee) will play Thursday against the Cavaliers, Spencer Davies of BasketballNews.com reports.

Impact Murray missed Denver's final six games before the All-Star break due to right knee soreness, and while he deemed himself healthy, he was initially listed as questionable for the Nuggets' first game of the second-half schedule. However, it appears that listing was merely a formality, as his head coach officially cleared the dynamic point guard. Given it'll be Murray's first time suiting up since Feb. 4, he may operate under a minutes restriction, but it's safe to assume he'll garner his usual role in the starting lineup. Before his absence, Murray played extremely well, posting 28.0 points, 7.6 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from deep in his last eight appearances.

Officially listed as questionable Murray is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Cleveland due to right knee inflammation.

Impact Murray missed Denver's final six games before the All-Star break due to right knee soreness, and despite the point guard saying he'd be able to suit up when the Nuggets resumed action Thursday, he's officially listed as questionable. If Murray is sidelined again, Bruce Brown should draw another start at point guard, while recently-signed Reggie Jackson could emerge as the top backup.

Good to go Thursday Murray (right knee) said he will play Thursday against the Cavaliers, according to Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports.

Impact Murray missed the past six games for Denver, but he was able to get plenty of rest during the All-Star break and participated in Tuesday's practice. Bruce Brown did an admirable job filling in for Murray, but his usage rate will take a hit with this news. As for Ish Smith, his fantasy value was already trending down anyways with the Nuggets picking up Reggie Jackson as their new backup point guard.
