Amick: Jokić is amazing (again), but Murray's journey is everything for Nuggets Sam Amick spoke with Murray, Jokić and a rival team’s scout about the state of point guard's game, pivotal to the team's chances.
Logs 26 poins in loss Murray contributed 26 points (11-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and nine assists across 38 minutes during Sunday's 101-99 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Murray was able to throw up a decent total despite constant double-teaming by the Thunder, who were smart to focus on the premier guard with Nikola Jokic (hamstring) and Michael Porter (personal) out. Thanks to consistent shot volume and productive assist numbers, Murray is slowly creeping back up into the upper echelon of floor generals in the Western Conference.

Impact Murray posted a triple-double in just 29 minutes during Saturday's 134-111 win over the Pacers but didn't emerge unscathed. In addition to Murray's questionable status, Bones Hyland (finger) is also questionable, which could leave plenty of minutes for Ish Smith if one or both are shelved.

Will play Friday Murray (foot/ankle) is available and will start Friday against the Pacers.
Impact As expected, Murray will suit up for a 10th straight contest despite being initially listed as probable with foot and ankle injuries. During that stretch, the dynamic point guard has averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 32.2 minutes per game. He figures to garner a similar workload Friday, though he may handle increased playmaking duties with Nikola Jokic (hamstring) sidelined.

Probable vs. Pacers Murray (foot, ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Murray continues to be bothered by foot and ankle inflammation, but he's expected to still appear in a 10th straight game Friday. Over the past nine, he's averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 32.2 minutes.

Takes over down the stretch Murray chipped in 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, four assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 victory over the Timberwolves.
Impact Murray was the focal point of a rally to bring the Nuggets back into the game, and his running floater with less than a minute to go sealed the deal. When Murray and Nikola Jokic are dialed in as they were in the victory, they're one of the most dangerous guard-center duos in the league.

Active as expected Murray (ankle) will play and start in Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Murray was tabbed as probable ahead of the contest due to inflammation in his right ankle but will suit up and should handle his typical workload Wednesday. He has tallied at least 15 points in seven consecutive contests and has notched six or more assists in three of his last four.

Probable Wednesday Murray (ankle/foot) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Murray continues to deal with right foot and ankle inflammation, but he's played through the issue recently and will likely be able to suit up again Wednesday. Over his last three appearances, he's averaged 19.7 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 35.7 minutes per game.

Good to go Tuesday Murray (ankle) is available and starting Tuesday versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact The 25-year-old appeared to be trending in the wrong direction after he was downgraded from probable to questionable Tuesday afternoon, but the lingering ankle sprain won't prevent him from taking the court against Portland. Murray has averaged 22.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 34.0 minutes over his past five games.

Downgraded to questionable Murray (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Trail Blazers.
Impact Murray was initially listed as probable with a lingering ankle issue but has since been downgraded to questionable. While the point guard still has a chance to suit up, it appears he's trending in the wrong direction. Bones Hyland (ankle) is also questionable, so Ish Smith and Bruce Brown may be candidates for increased roles, though Nikola Jokic would presumably handle the majority of the ball-handling responsibilities if both of Denver's point guard are ultimately ruled out.

Likely to play Tuesday Murray is probable for Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact Murray has been listed as probable before being upgraded to active in each of his last two games after exiting Wednesday's game due to an ankle injury. Tuesday's contest should be no different; however, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status leading up to tipoff considering the tilt is the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Closes with 14 second-half points Murray notched 18 points (6-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 119-116 win over Orlando.
Impact Murray couldn't find his shooting rhythm in the first half, knocking down just one of six field goal attempts and two free throws for a total of four points, while adding five assists and three rebounds. He fared better in the second half with 14 points on 5-of-11 shooting to help the Nuggets hang on for their sixth straight win. The point guard shot 35.3 percent from the field in the contest, his worst shooting percentage this month by a wide margin, though he's now scored at least 18 points in eight of his last 11 games.

Available, starting Sunday Murray (ankle) is starting Sunday against the Magic.
Impact Murray was probable for Sunday's matchup due to his left ankle sprain, so it isn't very surprising to see him starting against Orlando. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 20.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 31.5 minutes per game.
