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

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (lower leg) is set to return to the lineup on Thursday versus Washington. Murray missed Denver's final game before the All-Star break, but he came through practice with no issues on Tuesday, and Nuggets head coach Michael Malone expects him to play against the Wizards. Murray's return will send Reggie Jackson back to the bench, although he could still be useful in some fantasy formats. Washington allows the sixth-most bench points in the league, and with the game expected to be a blowout, Denver's second unit, spearheaded by Jackson, could get more action.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (leg) won't play on Wednesday versus Sacramento. This one shouldn't surprise anyone, considering he was downgraded from questionable to doubtful throughout the day. Barring a setback, he should be back immediately after the All-Star break. However, until Murray returns to the lineup, Nikola Jokic, Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon should remain locks for all fantasy lineups. On the other hand, Reggie Jackson, who will start for Murray, is worth streaming.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (tibia) played 18 minutes in their Monday night matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks before he was forced to leave the game with bilateral tibia inflammation. He was officially ruled as questionable to return, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) also had to leave the game and is considered questionable too. With both of their starting guards sidelined until further notice, Reggie Jackson and Justin Holiday have been getting added minutes while Peyton Watson and Christian Braun have seen the court as well. This is going to be something to monitor for those fantasy managers who are depending on Murray.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (knee) has been listed as probable for the team's Friday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's dealing with a knee contusion that doesn't seem too serious as he hasn't missed a game since December 12. The star combo guard is tied with his career high in points per game right now and he's seen some increases in traditional stats from last year. Across 35 games, Murray is averaging 21.2 points, 6.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 2.3 made threes, and 1.9 turnovers per game while shooting 47.8% from the floor. With Nikola Jokic (back) still questionable, Murray may be depended on to carry the offensive load in this game.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (leg) is ready to roll for Tuesday's matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Murray is experiencing inflammation in his lower legs, but it won't be enough to make him inactive for this clash of the titans with Philly. The 26-year-old star has been limited to 27 games but hasn't missed a game since Dec. 12 and is returning third-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues, putting up 20.6 points, 6.4 assists, and 2.3 threes on a career-high 41.2% shooting clip from long distance. Going head-to-head with Sixers star Tyrese Maxey, Murray could engage himself in a point-guard duel on Tuesday.
