Flirts with double-double in return Murray provided 21 points (9-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 114-104 victory over the Clippers.
Impact Murray was just getting back up to speed when he ran into the COVID-19 protocol, but he should be back to a full load after logging 34 minutes in Friday's win. The Nuggets look markedly better with their elite guard back in the lineup this year and are currently second in the West behind the Suns.

Questionable at OKC Murray is questionable for Wednesday's game at Oklahoma City due to conditioning concerns.
Impact After a two-game absence, Murray surprisingly returned Tuesday and shot a poor 3-for-12 in 34 minutes during the loss to the Pistons. He may need some more time off due to conditioning issues. Nikola Jokic is also questionable for the same reason, while Michael Porter is questionable due to a heel issue and Bones Hyland (illness) is out.

Poor shooting in return Murray (COVID-19 protocols) tallied 10 points (3-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 110-108 loss to the Pi...
Impact The Nuggets returned two key starters from the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday, as Murray and two-time MVP Nikola Jokic returned from two- and three-game absences, respectively. While Jokic (31 points on 12-for-16 shooting from the field) looked like his usual self in his return, Murray exhibited more rust. Murray at least made up for the poor shooting by thriving as a passer while contributing in the defensive categories. After missing all of the 2021-22 season while recovering from a torn ACL, Murray is averaging 16.1 points, 4.7 assists, 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 29.4 minutes per game in his first 14 outings of 2022-23.

Impact Both Murray and Nikola Jokic will return to the lineup after missing the past few games while in the league's health and safety protocols. Murray will presumably resume his normal starting role, which will push Bruce Brown back to the bench. Across 13 previous starts, the Kentucky product has averaged 16.5 points and 4.5 assists.

Impact Coach Malone emphasized that just because Murray cleared protocols doesn't necessarily mean he will play. Murray will be a game-time decision but should be good to go Wednesday if he can't play against the Pistons.

Puts up 23 despite long-range woes Murray racked up 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 126-103 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Murray struggled a bit from deep, but other than that, he delivered a strong scoring performance in a game the Nuggets dominated with ease. The athletic point guard is still shaking off some rust after missing the entire 2021-22 season while rehabbing from a knee injury, so it'd be unwise to expect the same numbers he had prior to the injury. But he has settled well as a secondary scoring option behind the likes of NIkola Jokic and Michael Porter. Murray is averaging 17.4 points per game over his last five appearances.

Porter's 31 points lead Nuggets past Bulls 126-103

Posts first double-double Murray amassed 14 points (6-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 131-112 loss to the Celtics.
Impact Murray needed 17 shots from the field to score 14 points, and he's now 12-for-32 over his last two contests. Despite this, he's finished in double figures in each of his last eight contests and continues to prove how valuable he is to his fantasy managers in the assist column following a sluggish start to the 2022-23 campaign.
