Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Cooks for 35 points in loss
Rotowire
Murray dropped 35 points (10-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
After erupting for 39 points during Friday's 127-120 win against Phoenix, Murray posted game highs with 35 points and four three-pointers while going a pristine 11-for-11 at the charity stripe. Through six regular-season appearances thus far, he's gone for 35-plus in three of them, each coinciding with his ability to drain four or more triples and earn double digit free-throw attempts. Murray's scoring heroics were not enough to get the win, however, but he's clearly found a groove after finishing with six points (2-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and six turnovers in the season-opening loss to the Thunder.

Rotowire
Murray finished with 39 points (10-18 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 12-15 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block over 37 minutes in Friday's 127-120 win over Phoenix.
Murray narrowly missed scoring at least 40 points for the second time this season, though it was still a solid all-around effort to lead the Nuggets to a win. The 29-year-old is having an All-Star-caliber season, averaging 25.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.6 assists, all career highs, along with 1.2 steals over 38.2 minutes per contest in five regular-season games. He's also shot an efficient 53.5 percent from behind the arc.

He was limited to six points in the season-opening loss to the Thunder on Oct. 22, but he's averaged 28.0 points per game while shooting 48.5 percent from three-point range. His six assists and two blocks added valuable fantasy production as well.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Pours in 42 points in overtime win
Rotowire
Murray accumulated 42 points (12-25 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 10-13 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 43 minutes during Saturday's 141-135 overtime win over the Pelicans.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Struggles offensively in loss
Rotowire
Murray accumulated six points (2-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Thursday's 96-84 loss to Oklahoma City.
Murray was ice cold from the field, with he and Nikola Jokic combining to shoot just 7-of-30 from the floor. While he did manage to grab double-digit boards, managers have to feel somewhat disappointed given the fact that a high draft pick was likely spent to get him in drafts. With that said, expect to see Murray get back on track when the Nuggets host the Pelicans on Saturday in what is a much more favorable matchup.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Scores team-high 21 points
Rotowire
Murray notched 21 points (8-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and a steal across 31 minutes in Friday's 121-106 preseason win over the Lakers.
Murray paced Denver in scoring despite missing his three attempts from long range. The veteran guard compensated by attacking inside the perimeter and converting all five free throws, while his six assists were the second-best mark on the team behind Nikola Jokic's eight. Murray's ability to contribute as both a scorer and playmaker should keep him firmly established as an excellent fantasy option heading into the regular season, and he'll operate as the Nuggets' No. 2 scoring alternative behind Jokic.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Starting vs. Utah
Rotowire
Murray (personal) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's preseason contest against the Jazz.
Murray didn't play in Sunday's preseason opener against Utah, but he gets the nod and is in the starting lineup for this rematch Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether the star guard will have a limited workload in this preseason contest, though that wouldn't be surprising. He's the No. 2 option on offense behind Nikola Jokic and isn't expected to play heavy minutes in preseason with the start of the 2026-27 regular season just around the corner.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Sits out for Canada
Rotowire
Murray did not participate in Canada's latest FIBA World Cup qualifying window as he turns his attention toward the upcoming NBA season.
Murray is coming off a standout 2025-26 campaign with Denver in which he earned his first All-Star and All-NBA selections of his career. The veteran guard remains firmly entrenched as the Nuggets' No. 2 offensive option alongside Nikola Jokic and should continue carrying a substantial scoring and playmaking workload in 2026-27.
Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Denver adds another playmaker
Rotowire
The Nuggets signed DeMar DeRozan on Friday, giving Murray another competitor for usage in 2026-27.
There could be a tighter squeeze for usage in Denver this season, as DeRozan is effectively replacing the more defensive-minded Peyton Watson on the roster. Murray should remain the team's clear-cut No. 2 scoring option behind Nikola Jokic, but it remains to be seen if the addition of DeRozan, who should compete for a starting job during training camp, will adversely impact Murray's productivity.
