Keegan Murray News, Rumors, Updates - Sacramento Kings

Struggles from field Monday Murray racked up seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 22 minutes during Monday's 133-124 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Murray's role in the starting lineup is safe, but there's no question he needs to start producing better. He's now scored in single digits in three of his last five games and is averaging a meager 10.3 points per game since the All-Star break.

Disappears in win Murray contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one assist and one block in 15 minutes during Saturday's 128-119 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Despite starting Saturday's game, Murray failed to do anything substantial and ended up with nothing to show for his 15 minutes of court time. Saturday marked the second time in a week that Murray failed to score, and while there have been some impressive totals in the interim, the rookie's variance makes him a risky fantasy option.

Sneaky double-double Tuesday Murray notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Murray continues to play his best basketball of the season, scoring double-digits for the fourth straight game and recording the fourth double-double of his young career. It appears as though the game is starting to slow down for him, allowing him to play more within his comfort zone. While he remains outside the top 100 for the season, he has been able to put up top-30 value over the past week. He won't be this good every night, but based on his current trajectory, he should be added in all formats.

Woeful again in loss Murray had six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and one block over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 loss to the Suns.

Impact Murray played just 21 minutes in the loss, struggling to have any sort of impact on the game. Coming into the season as a prized rookie piece, it's basically been one disappointment after another. He is barely a top-120 player for the season, although savvy managers will know that rankings don't always tell the whole story. His overall value is reliant on his ability to score from the perimeter and not turn the ball over, both of which are categories that can be streamed across competitive leagues. At this point, he should be looked at as nothing more than a possible streaming candidate.

Keegan Murray Drops CAREER-HIGH 30 Points vs Houston

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Blows up for career-high 30 points Murray finished with 30 points (11-17 FG, 8-12 3Pt), six rebounds, two steals and one assist and across 33 minutes during Monday's 140-120 win over the Rockets.

Impact After scoring just seven points on a combined 2-for-21 shooting from the field over his previous three outings, Murray authored a much-needed bounce-back performance Monday. The 30 points marked a new career high for the rookie, who achieved his scoring largely on the back of unsustainably hot shooting from distance. Murray's fantasy game is fairly limited when he's not scoring, so he'll need to start putting up points at a steadier clip before managers can include him in lineups with any sort of confidence.

Ugly night Friday Murray registered three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Friday's 107-104 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Murray made just one field goal in the loss, ending with three points and very little else. While he has shown significant improvement over the past month, he remains on the fringe when it comes to standard fantasy formats. His value is built on efficiently hitting three-pointers as well as tallying solid rebounding numbers. When his shot isn't falling, his value takes a big hit, making him a hard player to trust, especially in highly competitive leagues.

Inefficient against Spurs Murray provided two points (0-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Murray was a consistent scorer for most of January, but he matched his lowest scoring total of the season Wednesday while failing to convert any field-goal attempts. The rookie has had some lackluster performances mixed in with his glimpses of promise to begin the year, but he's maintained plenty of playing time and will have a chance to bounce back during the Kings' packed schedule ahead of the All-Star break.

Notches third double-double Murray provided 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 39 minutes in Monday's 118-111 overtime win over the Timberwolves.

Impact The double-double was Murray's third of the season, all of which have come within the past two weeks. During his past seven games, Murray is averaging 15.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.4 three-pointers in 36.1 minutes per contest, a level of production that's in line with what fantasy managers might have expected after the rookie enjoyed a brilliant run in the Las Vegas Summer League. However, Murray has offered little in the peripheral categories during that seven-game stretch (1.0 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.1 steals per contest) and is shooting an unsustainable 55.9 percent from the field, 51.1 percent from three-point range and 100 percent from the free-throw line, so managers should expect a downturn sooner rather than later.

Rough night Saturday Murray recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and four rebounds in 32 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Murray was nowhere to be seen in the loss, highlighting the fact that recent performances can mask a player's true value. Despite being a top-60 player over the past month, Murray offers upside in basically two categories only, those being three-pointers and turnovers. As we saw in this game, when his shot isn't falling, he has very little to fall back on. Of course, he will be better than this on most nights, at least from a scoring standpoint. With that said, he is better looked at as a streaming option as opposed to a must-roster player, despite what his ranking might say.

Flirts with double-double Murray ended with 20 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 133-100 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Murray notched his seventh career game with at least 20 points and fell one rebound shy of his third double-double over his past four appearances. During that stretch, the rookie has averaged 18.0 points and 9.3 rebounds in 37.3 minutes per game, but his shooting percentages (63.2 from the field and 57.7 from deep) suggest his strong production will be difficult to maintain. Nonetheless, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft is off to a great start to the 2023 portion of the Kings' schedule.

JANUARY 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Career-best performance Murray closed with 29 points (10-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist in 37 minutes during Friday's 118-113 win over the Thunder.

Impact The points and boards were both new personal bests, as Murray flashed the upside that made him the fourth overall pick in this year's draft. He's posted back-to-back double-doubles, the first two of his career. Through 10 games in January, he's averaging 14.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.1 threes and 1.3 assists while shooting 51.6 percent from the floor, 50.8 percent from the beyond the arc and 91.7 percent from the free-throw line -- dazzling efficiency for a rookie.

Posts first career double-double Murray finished with 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 10 rebounds in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 win over the Lakers.

Impact Murray wasn't very active on offense Wednesday, but he did just enough to hit double-digit scoring for the fifth time in his past six games. The rookie also tied his season high with 10 boards, giving him the first double-double of his NBA career. Though that is certainly a meaningful accomplishment, Murray failed to notch any assists or defensive stats in the win, emphasizing his limited skill set. With per-game averages of 11.7 points, 4.0 boards, 0.9 assists, 2.4 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.6 blocks across 28.8 minutes on the campaign, Murray's value in fantasy is largely dependent on his ability to knock down shots from deep.
