Iffy for Wednesday Murray is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right elbow soreness and a right shin contusion.

Impact After playing 34 minutes Tuesday against the Timberwolves with 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and six steals, Murray could be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If Murray does end up sitting out, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins could see more minutes with C.J. McCollum soaking up more usage.

Scores season-high 29 points Murray contributed 29 points (12-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and six steals in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 104-97 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Murray was coming off posting his first triple-double of the season in Sunday's win over the Wizards, and the star floor general extended his impressive stretch with a season-high mark in scoring. This was just the fourth time Murray scored at least 20 points this season, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to reach these figures often. That said, he remains a valuable fantasy option due to his ability to fill the stat sheet.

Will play against Minnesota Murray (elbow) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact After dropping his first triple-double of the season during Sunday's game against the Wizards, Murray will play against Minnesota on Tuesday. The veteran guard is coming off back-to-back solid performances against Washington and will look to keep it going against the Timberwolves, who are coming off a win over the Clippers.

Iffy to play Tuesday Murray (elbow) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray played through a sore right elbow against the Wizards on Sunday and finished with 14 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds over 36 minutes in a 110-98 win. With the Pelicans playing the first game of a back-to-back set Tuesday, it's possible that Murray is held out of one of those two games to manage the injury. Jose Alvarado and Brandon Boston would be in line for more minutes should Murray be sidelined.

First triple-double of season Murray (elbow) contributed 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds and 12 assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 110-98 win over the Wizards.

Impact While he turned the ball over a game-high four times and was efficient from the field, Murray overcame an elbow injury to record his first triple-double of the season for the Pelicans on Sunday. Productivity hasn't been much of an issue for Murray in 2024-25; the star guard is averaging 16.2 points, 8.4 assists, 6.7 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.3 threes over his last 14 games. However, Murray is shooting a weak 39.9 percent from the floor during this stretch, which is something fantasy managers will want to see him improve on going forward.

Gets green light Sunday Murray (elbow) is available for Sunday's game against the Wizards.

Impact Murray presumably picked up the right elbow soreness during Friday's win over Washington, though he'll suit up Sunday without missing a game. Over his last five outings, the star guard has averaged 13.6 points, 8.0 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 steals while shooting 38.9 percent from the field in 33.0 minutes per game.

Iffy for Sunday Murray is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Wizards due to right elbow soreness, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Murray seemingly injured his elbow against Washington on Friday and is now in danger of missing Sunday's contest. If Murray is ultimately ruled out, Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins and Brandon Boston are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Ekes out double-double Friday Murray notched 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, one block and three steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 132-120 win over the Wizards.

Impact The double-double was Murray's fifth of the season, with four of them coming in his last 11 appearances. Over that stretch, the veteran point guard is averaging 15.5 points, 8.9 assists, 6.4 boards, 2.4 steals and 1.1 threes, but Murray's season-long shooting woes continue to linger.

Flirts with triple-double in loss Murray totaled 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, eight assists and six steals over 40 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Murray did it all for New Orleans in Monday's contest, leading all players in rebounds, assists and steals while ending two dimes short of a triple-double in a losing effort. Murray set a new season high in rebounds while matching his season-high mark in steals. He has now recorded at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists in 12 outings this year.

Shooting woes continue Murray chipped in 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 132-124 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Murray struggled from the field once again Friday, shooting under 43 percent for the sixth time in the past eight games. Although his supporting stats have been more than adequate, Murray has been woeful from the field, currently shooting a career-worst 36.5 percent through 15 games. Having lost 18 of their past 19 games, it's fair to say the acquisition of Murray has not been a positive experience thus far.
