Head coach Mike Malone recently indicated Murray should be back before the end of the regular season. But the Nuggets are heading to the playoffs, so the team could continue to play it safe with the All-Star guard, meaning DFS managers may not see him back for at least a few more games. At any rate, Nikola Jokic (hip, wrist), Michael Porter Jr., and Aaron Gordon should pick up a lot of the slack caused by Murray's absence.
