Head coach Michael Malone ruled out Murray (knee) for Thursday's game versus the Magic, Cody Taylor of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray will miss his third consecutive contest in what is the first of a three-game road trip Thursday. With Murray unavailable and Bones Hyland shipped to the Clippers, Bruce Brown and Ish Smith should handle most of the minutes at point guard. Murray's next opportunity to retake the floor arrives Saturday in Charlotte.

Murray is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to left knee injury management.
EDGE Analysis
One night after registering a season-high 41 points (15-24 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with seven assists, five rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes, Murray looks like he'll take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set. Even though Murray played both ends of the Nuggets' previous back-to-back set (Jan. 17 and 18), Denver isn't expected to ask the point guard to shoulder big minutes for the second day in a row, especially since the Nuggets are traveling to Minnesota rather than playing at home. With three other starters (Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon) also listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest, the Nuggets offense could primarily run through Michael Porter and sixth man Bruce Brown.

Murray totaled a season-high 41 points (15-24 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and added seven assists, five rebounds and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 128-108 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Murray continued his hot run of production in the Nuggets' decimation of the Hawks, reaching 30 points, five assists and five rebounds for the third game in a row while drilling 5.7 three-pointers per contest over that stretch. The 25-year-old has firmly put the ACL tear that sidelined for the 2021-22 season in the rear-view mirror, and given his recent form, the Nuggets have seemed more comfortable loosening the reins on Murray as well. Back on Jan. 17 and 18, Murray played both ends of a back-to-back set for the first time all season, and he looks like he could do the same this weekend. After Saturday's blowout win, the Nuggets will travel to Minnesota for a matchup with the Timberwolves on Sunday.

Murray amassed 33 points (12-23 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Thursday's 134-117 win over the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Murray continued his recent scoring surge Thursday, surpassing the 30-point mark for the second straight game and finishing with over 20 points for his fifth straight contest. The point guard didn't let his scoring output interfere with his playmaking duties, as he also dished eight assists -- his third-highest mark since the start of the new year. After averaging 22.1 points, 5.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 three-pointers in January, Murray appears poised to keep his foot on the pedal with a big performance in his first game of February.

Murray ended Tuesday's 122-113 win over New Orleans with 32 points (10-21 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Murray looked better than ever against New Orleans, and he drilled seven three-pointers on the way to one of his best totals of the season. Although Murray has recently struggled with a knee injury, he showed no ill effects against the struggling Pelicans. His 32 points marked his second-best scoring total of the season, and he's currently on pace to crush his previous seasonal per-game averages in both assists (5.7) and rebounds (4.1).
