Top Dejounte Murray News

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Logs second double-double of season

    Murray registered 18 points (6-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 loss to the Spurs.

    Murray's numbers have been decent since his extended absence, averaging 16.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 2.4 steals and 1.6 blocked shots over the past seven games. He's coming alive at a convenient time, as Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence will leave a gaping hole on a roster that's already snake-bit with injuries. If Murray and CJ McCollum can maintain a healthy backcourt, the Pelicans may have a chance to get back into contention before the season gets out of hand.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Stuffs stat sheet in loss Saturday

    Murray totaled 26 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-109 loss to the Thunder.

    Murray was the leading scorer for the Pelicans in this contest, but he did more than score the rock, as he also led the team in rebounds and steals. The floor general suffered a fractured hand in the first game of the season and was sidelined until Nov. 27, but he's been putting up solid numbers since returning to the hardwood. He's scored over 15 points in three of his previous five appearances, a span in which he's averaging 16.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 3.0 steals per contest.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Struggles with shot

    Murray totaled seven points (2-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and five steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.

    Murray made up for his poor shooting with a beefy stat line, as he recorded his 11th career game with at least five steals. Since returning to the lineup on Nov. 27, the Pelicans have lost all four games with Murray, and the point guard has averaged 13.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.5 three-pointers on 27.3 percent shooting from the field in that span.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Mixed results in loss

    Murray had 10 points (5-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 118-85 loss to the Knicks.

    Murray is still searching for a groove in New Orleans after missing a month of action due to a fractured hand, continuing to struggle with shooting the ball, but he did contribute eight boards, five dimes and three swipes in the blowout loss. The 28-year-old star guard is averaging 14.8 points, 1.3 three-pointers and 3.5 turnovers while shooting just 30.3 percent from the field through four games overall this season, but he's also providing 6.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.8 steals per contest to help mitigate the efficiency woes for fantasy managers. Murray will look to break out of his slump against his former club in Atlanta in Monday's matchup with the Hawks, a team that's allowing the third-most points per game (119.4) in the NBA this season.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Rough shooting in return

    Murray (hand) tallied 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 119-93 loss to the Raptors.

    Murray was back in action for the first time since the season-opening Oct. 23 win over the Bulls, when he fractured his left hand late in the contest. He took back his normal spot in the starting five but didn't see his full complement of minutes, though the blowout loss may have played a factor in suppressing his playing time. Murray endured a tough shooting night in his return, but he should round into form once he gets a few more games under his belt. Expect his minutes to pick up a bit in Friday's matchup with the Grizzlies, assuming the Pelicans can make that game more competitive.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Targeting Wednesday return

    Murray (hand) is targeting a return to action Wednesday against the Raptors, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.

    Murray has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, his 17th in a row on the shelf. However, he's been ramping up his activity at recent practices, and it's been reported previously that he would make a return at some point this week. Given how many injuries the Pelicans are dealing with, Murray's return will be a massive boost to the team. With this news, Brandon Boston's upside could soon be capped.
