Murphy racked up 20 points (8-20 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 128-121 win over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy has been cold from the field over his last 10 games, hitting 37.5 percent of his shots. He's still been productive on the stat sheet, however, averaging 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.9 three-pointers in 36.9 minutes per game. He'll almost certainly continue to be a focal point of the offense the rest of the way.

Murphy ended with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 125-108 loss to the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy embraced a bigger role in the playmaking department due to the absences of CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson due to rest, and he finished just two assists away from recording a double-double. A do-it-all forward who can leave his mark on both ends of the court on a regular basis, Murphy is averaging 21.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks across 11 appearances in February.

Murphy produced 24 points (9-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 109-103 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy recorded a game-high 24 points, marking his 25th outing with 20-plus points this season. The fourth-year pro has been a bright spot during a lackluster 2024-25 campaign for the Pelicans, and he has yet to score in single digits through 42 regular-season appearances. Murphy also recorded multiple blocks and steals for just the third time this season Tuesday, and he is on pace to average career highs in both swipes (1.2) and swats (0.7).

Murphy finished Friday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (7-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals over 36 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy wasn't all that efficient from within the arc Friday, but he connected on 50 percent of his three-point attempts and was responsible for four of the Pelicans' three-pointers in the loss. Murphy is enjoying a career year in his fourth NBA season, and over his last 10 outings he has averaged 25.2 points on 50.3 percent shooting (including 46.3 percent from three on 8.2 3PA/G), 5.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.1 steals over 37.6 minutes per game.

Murphy closed with 18 points (4-17 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 11 assists and nine rebounds over 44 minutes during Thursday's 140-133 overtime victory over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy posted his second double-double of the season while leading the Pelicans in assists, albeit in an off night shooting the rock. Additionally, the 24-year-old tied Jose Alvarado as the club's second-leading scorer behind CJ McCollum (43 points). Through six outings during February, Murphy is averaging 24.3 points, 6.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds and 3.2 three-pointers across 37.2 minutes per contest.

Murphy chipped in 23 points (7-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 137-101 loss to Oklahoma City.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy is having arguably the best season of his career for the Pelicans. The talented 22-year-old drained four of his seven attempts from beyond the arc in Monday's loss to the Thunder, leading New Orleans with a game-high 23 points. He's averaging career-high numbers across the board during the 2024-25 campaign, with 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Murphy recorded 20 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-118 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The fourth-year forward has produced 20-plus points in five straight games and drained multiple three-pointers in seven straight, although Murphy's production hasn't been enough to help the Pelicans end their eight-game losing streak. During those seven contests, Murphy is averaging 26.9 points, 5.1 boards, 5.0 assists, 4.3 threes and 1.4 steals while shooting 55.3 percent from the floor and 49.2 percent from long distance.

Murphy closed with 25 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one block over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 144-119 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy was Brandon Ingram's (hamstring) replacement for much of the season, and Ingram's trade has given Murphy the keys for the long term. Murphy has certainly earned the role, often ending the night with the team's high score and the ability to pop off for huge numbers on any given evening. Murphy recently enjoyed two consecutive 40-plus point totals after dropping off slightly Wednesday evening.

Murphy finished Monday's 125-113 loss to the Nuggets with 41 points (13-21 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy matched his career-best mark of 41 points and is officially on a heater. Over his last three games, Murphy has been the No. 1 overall producer in nine-category fantasy value with 37.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 7.0 three-pointers on 70.7 percent from the field. It's quite clear that he's becoming the focal point of this offense.

Murphy chipped in 40 points (15-20 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Friday's 118-116 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Murphy led the way for the Pelicans on offense in a game for which they didn't have Zion Williamson (illness) and in which Dejounte Murray suffered a season-ending torn Achilles. Murphy was so good offensively in this game that he ended just one point shy of tying his previous career-high scoring mark, established against the Trail Blazers on March 12, 2023. Murphy should embrace a bigger role on offense given how depleted the Pelicans are.
