Back in double digits Murphy accumulated 15 points (7-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 125-114 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Murphy had been held to 13 total points over his last two contests combined heading into Wednesday's clash, but he managed to find success in Boston. He posted an efficient shooting night, and he also led his team with three steals. Muphy has now scored in double figures in three of his last five matchups.

Battles foul trouble Saturday Murphy racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Murphy came up short again Saturday, managing just seven points despite sticking in the starting unit. Early fouls limited him to just 25 minutes, although he wasn't having a sizeable impact even without the fouls. It appears as though he will remain a starter for the foreseeable future, making him a viable asset in 12-team formats. His production of late may indicate otherwise, resulting in him being dropped in a few spots. If that is the case in your league, he is certainly worth considering.

Active Saturday Murphy (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Murphy suffered a right ankle sprain in Friday's game and was limited to just 20 minutes in the contest. However, he made it through warmups without any setbacks and was given the green light to suit up.

Questionable vs. Grizzlies Murphy is questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to a right ankle sprain, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Murphy totaled eight points, two rebounds and a steal in 20 minutes during Friday's win over the 76ers, but he sustained an ankle injury during the victory. If he's sidelined against Memphis, Devonte' Graham and Dyson Daniels could see increased run.

Quiet in limited minutes Murphy logged eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal in 20 minutes during Friday's 127-116 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Murphy remained in the starting lineup but was relatively quiet after a couple of encouraging performances. He was limited to just 20 minutes as the coaching staff went with the defensive upside of guys like Jose Alvarado and Dyson Daniels. He also appeared to suffer a leg injury during the third quarter, although there has been no word as to whether that limited him down the stretch. He is probably worth holding in standard leagues, at least until Brandon Ingram (toe) returns, although his ceiling does appear somewhat capped given the depth of the Pelicans roster.

Looks sharp in return Murphy produced 21 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Murphy missed the Pelicans' last matchup Monday against the Pacers while recovering from an illness, but he looked like his usual self in Wednesday's win. He was particularly impressive from beyond the arc, where he scored 15 of his 21 points. Murphy has now put up 20-plus points in back-to-back matchups.

Rejoins starting five Murphy is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Murphy will rejoin the starting lineup after missing Monday's game with an illness. He is averaging 14.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 30.2 minutes across his last five games.

DECEMBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Murphy (illness) is available for Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact As expected, Murphy will return to action Wednesday following a one-game absence due to an illness. Brandon Ingram (toe) and Herbert Jones (COVID-19 protocols) both remain out, so Murphy should be in store for a sizable role against the Timberwolves. Over his past 14 appearances (13 starts), Murphy has averaged 14.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 31.0 minutes.

Practices Tuesday, should play Head coach Willie Green said Murphy (illness) practiced Tuesday and will be listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Murphy was sidelined for Monday's game against the Pacers after being a late addition to the injury report with an illness. However, after practicing Tuesday, it appears like the second-year wing will return to action Wednesday. Before his absence, he had scored in double figures in four of his past five appearances and posted 14.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals during that stretch.

Ruled out Monday Murphy (illness) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murphy was originally listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report Monday, so his absence is not really surprising. This means the Pelicans will be extremely shorthanded to face Indiana due to a plethora of absences, and Murphy being out will likely translate to more minutes for Devonte' Graham and Jose Alvarado. Murphy's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Minnesota.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with illness Murphy is questionable for Monday's game against the Pacers due to a non-COVID illness, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Impact Murphy was a late addition to the injury report Monday due to an illness, which doesn't bode well for his availability against Indiana. Brandon Ingram (toe) and Herbert Jones (COVID-19) have already been ruled out, Zion Williamson (rest) is doubtful and Dyson Daniels (illness), Larry Nance (Achilles) and Murphy are all questionable, so New Orleans may be extremely shorthanded against the Pacers.

Puts up 23 points in win Murphy accumulated 23 points (8-13 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 40 minutes during Friday's 128-125 overtime win over the Thunder.

Impact Murphy is settling well as a starter and has been enjoying more and more opportunities of late with both Zion Williamson (COVID-19) and Brandon Ingram (toe) out, and that would explain why he's scored in double digits in four of his last five outings. He's averaging 12.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in December while shooting 43.4 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from deep, and while those numbers are solid to keep him rostered in most formats, his playing time and opportunities to contribute will decrease once either Williamson or Ingram return to the hardwood.

Plays well in Zion's absence Murphy ended with 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals in 28 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 victory over San Antonio.

Impact Murphy had been cold before his past two outings, shooting 30.6 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from three from Dec. 9 through Dec. 17. While he's still a modest 2-for-6 from distance over the past two games, he's a much improved 57.1 percent from the field. Fantasy managers should continue rostering Murphy, though once Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (COVID-19 protocols) are back, he may have fewer opportunities.
