Jamal Murray To Be Limited At Start Of Season
Jamal Murray (knee) on NBA TV on Wednesday. He stated that Murray wouldn't play in every single game to start the 2022-23 season, and that he'll be playing under 30 minutes per game when he's on the floor. This news isn't particularly surprising, as the team has continued to bring Murray along slowly ever since he tore his ACL in April of last year. He still has a chance to be a huge fantasy difference-maker next year, particularly late in the 2022-23 season, when he'll hopefully have his restrictions lifted.

Jamal Murray Explodes For 43 Points In Game 5
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.

Jamal Murray Considered Doubtful For Wednesday
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.

Jamal Murray Iffy For Tuesday
Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is in danger of missing a second consecutive game. However, Murray practiced fully on Monday, suggesting that there is a high probability that he will return to the court for Tuesday's action. If Murray can't make a return, Russell Westbrook will continue to have elevated fantasy value. In games without Murray this season, Westbrook has averaged 13.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists.

Jamal Murray Tagged As Questionable Against Trail Blazers
Jamal Murray (ankle) is dealing with an ankle sprain and has been listed as questionable for their Friday night matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. This could be Murray's third straight missed contest, which would be a big blow since Nikola Jokic (ankle) will miss his third straight game. If Murray doesn't suit up, Christian Braun (foot) will likely see a bump in usage while Russell Westbrook will continue to see playing time with the starting five. On Wednesday night, Westbrook finished with 12 points, nine assists, four rebounds, and two steals while Braun registered 10 points, four rebounds, and three assists.
