Murray is still managing right elbow bursitis and right index finger sprain, but neither injury is expected to keep him out of the lineup against the Mavs. He shot 5-of-17 from the floor on Monday, but he was still able to post a 21/7/8/2/1 line in his 36 minutes.
Murray (finger) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Murray was back in the lineup after missing Saturday's loss to Charlotte with an injured index finger on his shooting (right) hand. It's fair to question if that injury (and the right elbow bursitis) negatively impacted the Pelicans' point, whose 11 points from the foul line salvaged something from a disappointing night. Also healing those who have Murray rostered were the rebounds, assists, and steals, a reminder that his fantasy value won't fall off a cliff because his shot isn't falling.
Murray is back in the starting lineup after missing Saturday's loss to Charlotte with elbow and finger injuries. His return means Jordan Hawkins heads back to the bench, where his fantasy ceiling is considerably lower. That's the lone change to the Pelicans' starting lineup.
Murray sat out Saturday against Charlotte, but in two games prior, he averaged a healthy 26 points, 7.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists. He'll look to pick up where he left off on Monday as he returns from a one-game absence.
