Iffy for Thursday Murray (rest) is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit.

Impact With the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a postseason spot, the team may be very cautious with Murray going forward. With Thursday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set, Murray is almost certainly going to rest in one of these games.
