Murray sit out Friday's loss to the Raptors, but he returned to the lineup Sunday and posted a solid line across the board while contributing in each of the five major categories.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Iffy for Sunday with bruised hand
Murray is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a left hand contusion.
Murray sat out the Pelicans' 119-106 loss to the Raptors on Friday due to right Achilles injury management, but it's a new injury that is now putting his availability for Sunday's contest up in the air. If Murray ends up missing a second straight contest, the Pelicans would likely turn to rookie Jeremiah Fears to log heavy minutes at point guard for another game.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Unlikely to play Friday
Murray isn't expected to be available for the second half of New Orleans' back-to-back Friday against the Raptors due to injury management, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports. He provided 12 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Thursday's 129-108 loss to the Pistons.
Murray has appeared in three straight games for the Pelicans, so the team will likely sit him down Friday in an effort to maintain his health. The team has understandably been careful with the Washington product after he came back from a right Achilles surgery Feb. 24, which is an approach that is expected to continue down the stretch of the regular season.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Available to play
Murray (Achilles) is available for Thursday's game against Detroit.
Murray will shed his questionable tag for the front end of the Pelicans' back-to-back set, but he'll likely receive a maintenance day in Friday's game against the Raptors. Since completing his recovery from right Achilles surgery and making his season debut Feb. 24, Murray has appeared in 11 of 15 games and is averaging 17.6 points, 6.7 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.5 steals in 27.7 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Iffy for Thursday
Murray (Achilles) is listed questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit.
With the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a postseason spot, the team is likely to exercise caution with Murray and hold him out for one half of back-to-back sets. Even if Murray ends up playing Thursday, he'll likely receive a maintenance day for his right Achilles in Friday's game in Toronto.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Hands out season-high 12 dimes
Murray ended with seven points (2-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to New York.
The 12 dimes were a season best for the star guard, who did struggle mightily to score Tuesday. Overall, Murray is still putting together a convincing comeback from last year's Achilles rupture, averaging 18.9 points, 7.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Flirts with double-double in return
Murray (Achilles) amassed 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 111-106 loss to Cleveland.
After sitting out Thursday's win over the Clippers, Murray led the Pelicans in dimes in his return to the court Saturday. The star guard is enjoying a successful comeback from last year's Achilles rupture, providing excellent fantasy value in all formats. Through 10 contests, Murray has averaged 18.7 points, 6.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 27.6 minutes per game.

Murray has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers due to right Achilles management.
After playing through an illness Wednesday, Murray will be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set with the Clippers due to injury maintenance.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: 35-point output not enough
Murray produced 35 points (14-18 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 107-105 loss to the Rockets.
Murray has been excellent since making his season debut Feb. 24 against the Warriors and has scored in double digits in each of his eight appearances. He has cleared the 30-minute threshold in his last two games and has scored 25-plus points both times, so he should continue to be one of the most reliable scoring weapons for the Pelicans in the final weeks of the regular season.

Murray took a seat Thursday in Sacramento for rest reasons but was back in action for the second half of New Orleans' back-to-back set. He played at least 30 minutes for the first time this campaign, continuing to put up strong numbers since making his season debut at the end of February. Murray has scored in double figures and recorded at least one steal in all five appearances thus far, averaging 15.4 points, 6.0 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 26.2 minutes a night.
