Murphy supplied 17 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 victory over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy delivered a solid stat line in this win -- even if that meant not reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since Nov. 26 in a loss to the Grizzlies. Murphy should remain one of the Pelicans' go-to options on offense as long as he stays healthy.

Murphy has been on a tear over the past six, posting averages of 25.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.7 turnovers per game, which has been good enough for top-15 value in 9-cat leagues.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy was locked in and missed only three of his 13 shots en route to posting a team-high scoring output. Murphy is one of the Pelicans' most reliable offensive weapons and has been on fire of late.

EDGE Analysis

The fifth-year wing led the Pelicans in scoring as he topped 20 points for the third straight game since returning from an elbow injury. In those three contests to kick off December, Murphy's averaging 25.7 points, 9.0 boards, 5.7 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals, and he'll continue to see sky-high usage given all the injuries on the New Orleans roster.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy did an excellent job of putting his playmaking skills on display in this one, notching a new season high in assists while committing only two turnovers. The only knock against him Thursday was the 0-for-5 performance from three-point territory, but the New Orleans marksman should have no trouble bouncing back Saturday with a matchup against one of the worst defensive teams in the league in Brooklyn.

Murphy (elbow) is available for Tuesday's game against Minnesota, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is ending a two-game absence with an elbow injury. With Zion Williamson (adductor) iffy for Tuesday, Murphy could have massive usage on his plate. Murphy has averaged 19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals per contest in 19 games this season.

Murphy (elbow) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest due to a strained right elbow.

Over his last five outings, Murphy has averaged 19.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.4 steals across 35.2 minutes per game.

Murphy (elbow) will not suit up for Sunday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy will miss his second straight game due to the elbow issue, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves. Bryce McGowens will likely earn another start Sunday, while Saddiq Bey will see a massive spike in usage with Zion Williamson (hamstring) also unavailable.
