Murray notched 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one block over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 victory over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Nikola Jokic stole the show with his dominant triple-double, there's no question Murray made his presence felt in this one -- he was one of three Denver players to reach the 20-point mark and also missed just five of his 13 shots, meaning he took most of the opportunities he had on the offensive side of the ball. Murray should be a stud in all fantasy formats while working as Denver's second-best offensive threat behind Jokic, and his numbers in this season opener certainly back that up.

Murray delivered 21 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), two rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 22 minutes in Sunday's 116-102 preseason win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Murray eclipsed the 20-minute mark for the first time in the preseason on Sunday and responded by putting up his first 20-point game. The Nuggets are cautious of overusing their star players in the preseason as they gear up to defend their title, so Murray is unlikely to see more than 20 or 25 minutes of action in the remaining contests before the start of the regular season.

Murray is probable for Thursday's preseason game agains the Bulls due to a right hamstring injury, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray doesn't appear to have suffered a serious injury, so he is expected to play Thursday. However, he played just 17 minutes in the team's preseason opener. If Murray is upgraded to available, he will likely see a similar workload.

Murray (hamstring) is questionable for Tuesday's preseason opener against the Suns, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been limited by a hamstring injury to start training camp, so seeing him listed as questionable is not surprising. If he doesn't suit up, Reggie Jackson, Jalen Pickett, Collin Gillespie and Souley Boum are candidates for increased run at point guard.

Murray was limited during Monday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray has been dealing with a hamstring injury since the start of training camp, but the severity of the issue remains unclear. It wouldn't be surprising to see the star point guard held out of Tuesday's preseason matchup versus Phoenix as a precaution, but his availability for that contest has yet to be determined.

Murray notched 14 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Monday's 94-89 victory over Miami in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
EDGE Analysis
It certainly wasn't Murray's best performance, but he did just enough to help Denver win the series-clinching Game 5. The star point guard averaged 26.1 points, 7.1 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals with 47/39/92 shooting splits across 20 postseason appearances. It was quiet the bounce-back year for Murray, who missed the entire 2021-22 season after tearing his ACL late in the 2020-21 campaign. Murray's still under contract for two more years, so the Nuggets should be in good position to contend again next season.
