Jamal Murray DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray finished with 13 points in Sunday's loss to the Thunder. He added three steals and two assists. This was arguably Murray's worst showing of the series with OKC, especially on the scoring end. He shot a rough 6-for-16 from the field and made only one of his eight attempts from downtown. The 28-year-old averaged 21.4 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.9 boards during the regular season. While his three-point percentage dropped, he at least appeared in 67 games, eight more than the 2023-24 campaign. With that said, Murray has All-Star potential. However, his health is always a concern for fantasy managers, and he's also been known to go cold at times throughout his career.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (illness) is considered probable for Sunday's intriguing Game 7 matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Murray played through an illness on Thursday, helping the team extend the series with a 119-107 win, and it appears he won't have any issues suiting up for Sunday's contest. Despite his illness, Murray filled up the box score on Thursday night with 25 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, and one block. Although his shooting has been inconsistent, Murray has recorded 25 or more points in three of six games in the series and is certainly poised to have a large role again on Sunday.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray had his second-highest scoring game of the postseason with 28 points in Tuesday's 112-105 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Canadian star flirted with a 30-point game, although Murray struggled to score efficiently. He went 10-for-27 from the field, including 3-for-13 from outside. In 42 minutes of action, Murray added four rebounds, three assists, and one block to his tally. While Murray has averaged 21.4 points per game against the Thunder, he has shot below 40 percent from the field in three of the five games and 39.5 percent overall in the matchup. A more efficient performance is needed from him for the Nuggets to advance to the Western Conference Finals.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray grabbed the headlines with a 43-point performance in Tuesday's 131-115 Game 5 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Although Murray made only five field goals and had 13 points in Game 4, he bounced back in style on Tuesday night, shooting 17-for-26 from the field, including 8-for-14 from downtown. It was a special scoring performance from the Canadian star, but Murray also took time to contribute in other areas. He completed his line with five rebounds, seven assists, three steals, and one block. Nikola Jokic, who produced a 13-10-12 triple-double on Tuesday, continues to lead the Nuggets, but Murray reminded everyone what he can do when he gets hot. The 28-year-old has averaged 24.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, and 1.6 steals in the series.

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. He will likely sit out a sixth consecutive game as the Nuggets hit the court for the first time since the stunning firing of head coach Michael Malone. It will be interesting to see what adjustments interim head coach David Adelman makes to the lineup and rotation. Russell Westbrook has filled in for Murray in the starting unit for most of the season, but he has run with the starters only once in the last five games that Murray has missed. Jalen Pickett has recently seen increased usage in the first unit, yet he has been unproductive on most nights.
