Murray closed Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game loss to Chicago with 30 points (11-21 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and two steals across 46 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Despite dealing with an extended absence from Trae Young, Murray kept the team afloat and squeaked into the Play-In Tournament. Despite the disappointing end, Murray put together the best campaign of his seven-year career, averaging 22.5 points, 6.4 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 steals during his second year with the Hawks. While Young will almost certainly be headed elsewhere, Murray is locked into a contract with the Hawks and should continue to be a focal point of the offense next season.

Murray contributed 32 points (13-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 157-115 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Murray led all players in Sunday's regular-season finale in threes made and scoring while surpassing the 30-point mark to go along with a trio of rebounds and assists in a losing effort. Murray tallied 30 or more points in 13 games this year, including in three of his last 10 outings.

Murray (quadriceps) is questionable to play Friday against the Timberwolves, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray missed Wednesday's loss to the Hornets due to a right quadriceps contusion, but the questionable tag suggests the Hawks might be thinking about playing him with only two games left in the regular season just so he can maintain rhythm ahead of the Play-In Tournament. Murray has averaged 20.0 points, 9.2 assists and 6.4 rebounds per game in five April contests.

Murray (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray, De'Andre Hunter (rest) and Wesley Matthews (hamstring) are all out, but Trae Young (finger) is expected to make his return. Murray has two more chances to play during the regular season -- Friday in Minnesota and Sunday in Indiana. However, the Hawks are locked into the Play-In Tournament, so they don't need to rush Murray back to action.

Murray is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hornets with a right quadricep contusion, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is tending to the injury in the aftermath of the Hawks' 117-111 double-overtime loss to the Heat on Tuesday, when he finished with 29 points (12-31 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists and four steals in 49 minutes. The Hawks could elect to give Murray some maintenance Wednesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set, especially with Trae Young (finger) -- who has been upgraded to questionable -- potentially ready to fill in for him at point guard following an extended absence.

Murray ended with 29 points (12-31 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, 13 assists and four steals over 49 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 double-overtime loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
The Hawks had to fight in two overtime periods against the Heat, and even though they ultimately fell short in their quest to win, Murray thrived from a fantasy perspective with his first triple-double of the season. The star guard is known league-wide for his ability to fill the stat sheet, and he's ending the regular season on a sizzling note with averages of 20.0 points, 9.2 rebounds and 6.4 rebounds per game since the beginning of April.

Murray totaled 14 points (4-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 142-110 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Murray's scoring total left a bit to be desired, but he managed to move the ball around effectively. His 12 assists allowed every member of the starting five to log double-digit point totals, but Murray's shot was notably off. Although he drilled a trio of three-pointers, he shot only 26.6 percent from the floor. Murray continues to carry a heavy load without Trae Young (finger), and the former will need to step up as the Hawks attempt to improve their playoff seeding.

Murray racked up 24 points (10-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 121-113 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old guard continues to post big distribution numbers while Trae Young (finger) is on the shelf. Wednesday's double-double was the eighth in the last 13 games for Murray, who has averaged 26.2 points, 9.5 assists, 5.3 boards, 3.9 threes and 2.0 steals over that stretch. His efforts have helped secure a spot in the Play-In Tournament for the Hawks, and with Young still lacking a timeline for his return, the team could try to give Murray a little more rest over the final handful of regular-season contests.

Murray accumulated 20 points (7-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and 12 assists across 42 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was Atlanta's best scoring option until Bogdan Bogdanovic took over the game in the fourth quarter. Trae Young's (finger) absence has put a lot of pressure on Murray, but the latter kept the team alive in the playoff race with nightly solid totals. He posted a career-high 44 points against Boston earlier in the week and has six double-doubles over his past 10 games.
