Jose Alvarado

Murray is dealing with multiple injuries, and it's unclear when he'll be back on the court. If he's unavailable Monday, expect Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins to see increased run.

Already dealing with right elbow bursitis, Murray will miss Saturday's game with what has been described as a sprained right index finger. However, Pelicans coach Willie Green said during his pregame availability that Murray will get his hand X-rayed soon. Jose Alvarado may start if Green chooses to start a "true" point guard, but Jordan Hawkins is another possibility. If Hawkins starts, CJ McCollum will take on the primary playmaker responsibilities.

Murray has been experiencing right elbow bursitis recently and now has a sprained right index finger. If he's unable to play against the Hornets, Jose Alvarado moving into the starting lineup is one possibility. Another is Jordan Hawkins receiving the nod, which would shift CJ McCollum to the point. Whoever starts will be worth streaming in deep leagues.

Murray has been considered probable ahead of multiple games recently but has not been forced to the sideline. Look for that to continue on Friday, with Jose Alvarado being the next man up if Murray cannot play.

Murray was also probable for Friday's win over Utah, a game in which he played 25 minutes. He should occupy his usual place in the Pelicans' starting lineup as the point guard. Murray's minutes on Friday were limited due to the nature of the game, which New Orleans held firm control of throughout the fourth quarter. Jose Alvarado will play more minutes if Murray is limited or cannot play.
