Murray posted 19 points (8-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 41 minutes during Sunday's 114-108 overtime loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Although Murray's scoring total was better than his Game 3 result, the guard shot 38 percent from the floor and made only two three-pointers in seven attempts. Despite the poor shooting performance, Murray is still averaging 25.3 points, 6.8 assists and 6.0 rebounds in the series.

Murray accumulated 40 points (13-22 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 122-113 win over the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

EDGE Analysis

Nikola Jokic had a strong game and came close to a triple-double Wednesday, but Murray carried the team in the points column and reached the 40-point plateau for the first time since Feb. 4, when he recorded 41 points in a road win over the Hawks. Murray should be a strong fantasy play and a valuable piece on offense for the Nuggets during the team's postseason run.

EDGE Analysis

Murray battled a thumb injury over the closing stretch of the regular season but appears to have overcome the issue in time for Denver's playoff opener. Murray should be expected to retake his spot in the starting lineup and handle a full workload Sunday.

Murray wasn't wearing a brace and was full go during Wednesday's practice, but he said after the session that his thumb issue is still on his mind when he's catching or shooting the ball, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murray joined the rest of Denver's starters on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale, marking his second absence over three games due to the right thumb issue. The point guard still has a couple more days to rest and rehab before the Nuggets know who their opening-round playoff matchup will be. While it sounds like Murray will give it a go regardless, his current thumb issue is a storyline worth following.

EDGE Analysis

With Murray joining the rest of Denver's regular starters on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale, expect major minutes for Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown and Christian Braun. Murray won't play in this meaningless game, but he should be fine for the playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

With the No. 1 seed locked up, Denver is listing the majority of its regulars as questionable for the regular-season finale. It's currently unclear who'll be available for the Nuggets, but even if Murray sits, there's been no indication that the issue would prevent him from playing during the postseason.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Murray will take the floor Saturday, but as coach Michael Malone previously mentioned, he will likely not play the entire game. Considering the unsure nature of his workload, Murray's fantasy value will take a significant hit.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Michael Malone expects the full starting five to be available Saturday, as he wants the team to get minutes on the court together to maintain rhythm. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect the starters to play the whole game.

EDGE Analysis

The Nuggets have already clinched the top seed in the Western Conference, so we could see the starters get some rest in the final two games of the season. If Murray is held out, we could see plenty of Reggie Jackson after his strong performance against the Suns on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Murray departed Tuesday's game versus the Rockets prematurely after suffering a thumb sprain, and he will miss at least one game to rest the issue. With the Nuggets having already claimed the top spot in the West, the staff will likely ensure he's fully healthy before putting him back on the floor, and there are only two more opportunities for him to suit up Saturday versus the Jazz or Sunday against the Kings. Bruce Brown will likely draw the starting nod against the Jazz, though Reggie Jackson figures to be a bigger factor as well.
