EDGE Analysis

Murphy posted a solid stat line across the board and continues to play at a high level since his 41-point outburst in the loss to the Spurs on Nov. 8. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) out, Murphy has been forced to step up into a bigger scoring role for the Pelicans but has done a good job in that regard. He's reached the 20-point mark in four of his last five outings, averaging 23.2 points, 7.2 boards and 4.0 assists per game in that stretch.
