Leads all scorers in win Murphy accumulated 26 points (9-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 win over the Knicks.
Impact Murphy tallied at least 20 points for just the fourth time all season, leading all scorers with 26 points including six triples. In what has been a disappointing season, Murphy could be someone to consider adding should he be available. He has played at least 30 minutes in five straight games, producing on both ends of the floor.

Falls short as fill-in Murphy logged five points (2-12 FG, 1-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 106-95 loss to the Heat.
Impact Murphy earned a spot in the starting lineup for a second time amid Brandon Ingram's (illness) absence. The Virginia product regressed after scoring 13 points as a replacement, and it was his weakest performance as a member of the starting five. Murphy is a consistent contributor with the second unit but is just below the cusp of fantasy viability.

Starting against Houston Murphy is in the starting lineup to face the Rockets on Thursday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Murphy will enter the starting lineup with Brandon Ingram sidelined due to an illness. He's averaging 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 27.3 minutes per game in a starting role this season.

Defensive whiz against Wizards Murphy finished Wednesday's 133-126 win over Washington with 13 points (3-9 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals over 31 minutes off the...
Impact The five combined steals and blocks were a career high for the third-year forward, but Murphy has been active on the defensive end of late and has produced five of each over the last three games. His inconsistent role makes him tough to deploy in DFS, but he's proving to be useful in deeper season-long formats. Over the last nine games (including three starts), Murphy is averaging 12.3 points, 3.6 boards, 2.4 threes, 0.9 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Scores 24 points as fill-in Murphy amassed 24 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 93-84 victory over Portland.
Impact The Pelicans chose to use caution with Zion Williamson (foot) in the back-to-back, sending Murphy to the first unit for the sixth time this season. The Virginia product has fared well when called upon to fill in for Williamson, although his meniscus injury denied him the ability to take over for the All-Star at the beginning of the season. Murphy's seasonal numbers have taken a dive after an encouraging sophomore campaign, and his future success will largely depend on the overall health of New Orleans' starting lineup.

Available to face Portland Murphy (knee) is available to face Portland on Saturday.
Impact Murphy has been bothered by a knee issue of late, but the wing will be available for this contest, and given the team's lack of available players, he might find himself in a starting role. Murphy is averaging 10.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game since the start of January.

Questionable versus Portland Murphy is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to left knee tendinitis.
Impact Murphy's knee issue has him in danger of missing his first contest since Jan. 27. If the third-year forward is unable to suit against Portland, Jordan Hawkins and Herbert Jones are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Impact Murphy drew a pair of spot starts while Herbert Jones recovered from a right adductor injury, but he'll retreat to the bench Monday evening now that Jones has been given the green light to return. The 23-year-old put up 15 points in 28 minutes during his last appearance as a reserve Jan. 29 against Boston.

Scores 15 points off bench Murphy closed with 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-10 3Pt) and four rebounds in 28 minutes during Monday's 118-112 loss to Boston.
Impact Murphy returned to a bench role after a spot start against the Thunder on Jan. 26 and not playing against the Bucks on Jan. 27, but he still posted a solid stat line. Even though playing off the bench limits his fantasy upside, it's worth noting Murphy is getting enough touches on offense, regardless of the role, to remain an asset in most fantasy formats. He has scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances, averaging 12.0 points per game in that span.

Rejoins reserves Murphy will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Friday Murphy is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Impact Murphy is set to replace Zion Williamson (foot) in the starting lineup. He has averaged 19.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 26.4 minutes in two games as a starter this season.

Scores 14 in win Murphy totaled 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 victory over Utah.
Impact The Pelicans had little trouble generating offense Tuesday, and Murphy finished with his third double-digit scoring total over his last four appearances. He wasn't particularly efficient from the perimeter Tuesday, but he had enough volume from inside the arc to make an impact. Over his last four outings, he's averaged 12.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in 23.8 minutes per game.
