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

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks traded guard Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans in exchange for Larry Nance Jr., EJ Liddell, Dyson Daniels, and two first-round picks. The backcourt pairing of Murray and Trae Young didn't work, so the 27-year-old will head to New Orleans, a team hoping to re-enter the championship conversation. Murray finished last season by averaging a career-high 22.5 points with 6.4 assists, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. Without question, he's an All-Star caliber player, and his fantasy value should improve even more if he becomes New Orleans' primary ballhandler in 2024-25. While Murray's shooting percentages aren't the best, category managers will still get a reliable fantasy asset, even more so since he's played at least 74 games in each of the last two seasons.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (quadriceps) will get back to work against the Timberwolves on Friday. He missed the second leg of a back-to-back last time out against Charlotte, but the team has upgraded Murray from questionable to available ahead of Friday's matchup. Murray has been one of the most productive fantasy performers in the league as of late, but Trae Young's return takes away a bit of value from him. The meeting with Minnesota is a pretty miserable matchup fantasy-wise as well, as the Timberwolves boast the league's tightest defense and play with a slow pace. Vit Krejci and Garrison Mathews are set to play much smaller roles with Atlanta's backcourt healthy again.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (quadriceps) has been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against Minnesota. A right quadriceps contusion kept Murray out from Wednesday's meeting with Charlotte, and he could now miss a second consecutive game. Murray had sat out just three games all season before landing on the shelf on Wednesday. Atlanta's lineup and rotation against the Hornets -- nine of 10 players used logged at least 20 minutes -- suggested that the team is okay with the thought of finishing 10th in the Eastern Conference, so there's no reason for the Hawks to rush Murray back. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci, who combined for 29 points on Wednesday, get more opportunities to play without Murray.
