Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Has productive night off bench Monday

Murray compiled 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 28 minutes in Monday's 112-92 loss to the Mavericks.

Murray did most of his damage in the fourth quarter when the Nuggets were already trailing by a significant margin, but it still qualified as an encouraging outing after he had been limited to a combined eight points on 3-of-11 shooting over the preceding two games. The rookie has shown some improvement after a woeful start to the season, but with the Nuggets becoming healthier in the backcourt and potentially getting Gary Harris (foot) back soon, Murray will have a tough time carving out significant minutes most nights.
