Murray is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The Trail Blazers will be depleted for this matchup, so Murray will get the starting nod for this contest. It's unclear what kind of role he'll have, though, as he'll start alongside Toumani Camara and Deni Avdija in the frontcourt. Murray is averaging 7.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.0 steals per game in three starts this season.

Murray is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
With Toumani Camara returning from a calf injury Wednesday, it's not surprising to see Murray head back to the bench. Murray has averaged 3.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks in 13.2 minutes over his last 10 games off the bench, significantly reducing his fantasy value.

Murray closed Monday's 112-97 win over the Wizards with five points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and four steals in 37 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Murray matched his career-high mark of four steals in the win, logging a massive workload in the process. This was also his third career game with double-digit rebounds. Murray is typically a low-usage role player for Portland, but he made the most of his spot start while Toumani Camara (calf) and Jerami Grant (knee) were sidelined. Murray is worth monitoring as a potential streamer in deeper leagues if Camara misses more time.

Murray is not in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blazers will receive reinforcements in the frontcourt since Jerami Grant (knee) and Robert Williams (knee) are available, so Murray will return to his regular bench role. He's averaging 4.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game when playing with the second unit this season.

Murray (quadriceps) is part of the Trail Blazers' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was initially labeled questionable for the contest due to a bruised left quad, but he'll be active and make his first start of the year. Jerami Grant (knee), Matisse Thybulle (ankle) and Robert Williams (knee) have been ruled out, so Murray should be in line for as many minutes as he can handle.

Murray (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Murray is in danger of missing his second straight contest Wednesday due to a left quadriceps contusion. If Murray is forced to sit out yet again, Jabari Walker will likely continue to receive increased playing time.

Murray (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Murray was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to a bruised left quad, and the issue is significant enough to hold him out. Jerami Grant (knee) is also sidelined, so Jabari Walker could pick up a few extra minutes in the frontcourt Monday.
