Murray is probable for Friday's game against Atlanta due to a left ankle sprain.
Murray's addition to the injury report is likely just a precaution, as he was able to take the court Wednesday after initially being listed as probable with the ankle issue. If all goes according to plan, expect Denver to clear the point guard closer to tipoff.
Murray tallied 22 points (8-18 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 17 assists, eight rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes during the Nuggets' 114-110 win over the Celtics on Wednesday.
Murray was given the green light to return Wednesday from a one-game absence while managing a left ankle injury. The issue didn't appear to bother the veteran guard, who did his best Nikola Jokic (knee) impersonation with a near triple-double while logging a career high with 17 assists. In five games without Jokic, Murray has averaged 24.8 points, 11.4 assists, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 threes over 37.5 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Murray (ankle) won't play Monday against the 76ers.
Murray had been listed as probable due to a left ankle sprain prior to Sunday's game against the Nets, but he proceeded to play through the injury en route to producing 27 points (11-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 assists and six rebounds over 40 minutes in the Nuggets' 127-115 loss. The Nuggets will exercise caution and hold him out Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set, however. With Murray sidelined, the Nuggets could rely heavily on Jalen Pickett out of the backcourt. Murray will likely return to action Wednesday in Boston.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Season high in assists Sunday
Rotowire
Murray tallied 27 points (11-23 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 16 assists and six rebounds over 40 minutes during the Nuggets' 127-115 loss to the Nets on Sunday.
Murray failed to score any points in the first quarter, but he picked up the pace in the second frame and got his teammates involved with a season-high 16 dimes en route to his ninth double-double of the season (and fourth over his last seven outings). The star point guard was buoyed somewhat by the long-awaited returns of Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon, but that duo will probably not play in the second leg of the Nuggets' back-to-back set Monday against the 76ers. In three games without Nikola Jokic (knee), Murray has averaged 27.3 points, 9.7 assists, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 threes over 38.7 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Murray closed with 21 points (6-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over Toronto.
Murray struggled from the field during Wednesday's win, but he still finished as the Nuggets' second-leading scorer while dishing out a team-high six assists. It was his first game without Nikola Jokic (knee) this season, and Murray should continue to serve as the focal point of the Nuggets' offense for as long as Jokic is sidelined. Murray finished the month of December having averaged 26.5 points, 7.4 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 threes and 1,0 steals over 35.1 minutes per game.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Double-double vs. Miami
Rotowire
Murray tallied 20 points (9-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 11 assists, six rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes during the Nuggets' 147-123 loss to the Heat on Monday.
Murray finished Monday's game as the Nuggets' leader in assists and second in points behind Nikola Jokic, the latter of whom left late in the second quarter due to a knee injury. It was Murray's eighth double-double of the regular season, three of which have come over his last four outings. Of concern for the Nuggets is Jokic's knee injury, and if the three-time MVP were to miss time, Murray would be the one to take on the responsibility of running Denver's offense.
Murray finished Saturday's 127-126 loss to the Magic with 24 points (9-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes.
Murray didn't have his best shooting performance in this loss, as he needed 21 shots to record 24 points, but even when considering the lack of efficiency, the star floor general continues to post excellent numbers. Murray has scored at least 24 points in each of his last four games, and he's cleared the 30-point plateau in four of his previous seven. Even if the Nuggets are a bit depleted in terms of depth, Murray continues to deliver excellent numbers across the board and is making a strong case to be an All-Star.
Murray finished Thursday's 142-138 overtime win over Minnesota with 35 points (12-32 FG, 9-18 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 42 minutes.
Murray produced from three-point range and added several assists for his second straight double-double. The 35 points tied his second-highest figure in 11 games played in December. He's expected to retain a starting role as he continues to deliver consistent offensive numbers, ranking second on the squad with averages of 25.4 points and 7.0 assists per game.

Nikola Jokic led the way with a 39-point triple-double, but Murray needed to come up big as well, as no other Nuggets player scored more than 13. The 28-year-old point guard has scored more than 30 points in four of the last eight games, averaging 28.3 points, 6.9 assists, 4.0 threes, 3.9 boards and 1.0 steals during that stretch while shooting a stellar 54.9 percent from the floor, 90.5 percent from the charity stripe and 57.1 percent from long distance.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Struggles with shot Thursday
Rotowire
Murray closed Thursday's 136-105 win over the Kings with 11 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 26 minutes.
Murray had a subpar performance Thursday, but the Nuggets didn't need him at his best in a 31-point blowout win over the Kings. Murray is enjoying an excellent start to the season, and one bad game shouldn't worry fantasy managers too much. The star guard is averaging 26.0 points, 7.8 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game since the beginning of December.
