Dejounte Murray's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) is officially active for Wednesday's matchup versus the visiting Raptors. The 28-year-old logged 30 minutes in the opener against the Chicago Bulls. However, he fractured his hand and has been on the shelf ever since. With Brandon Ingram (calf), Jose Alvarado (hamstring), Zion Williamson (hamstring), and Trey Murphy III (knee), Murray could be in line for a solid fantasy showing, although there's a chance he plays fewer minutes than usual in his first game back in over a month.
