Murphy (back) will be available for Sunday's game in Miami.
Murphy is back after a one-game absence, which will likely result in Jordan Poole or Bryce McGowens returning to the second unit. Since Murphy only missed one game, he shouldn't be operating with any minutes restrictions, so make sure you've got him active.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Ruled out vs. Portland
Rotowire
Murphy (back) won't play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Mark Haynes of The Sacramento Observer reports.
After being a late addition to the injury report, Murphy is unable to go for the Pelicans on Friday. The star forward's next chance to return from a back injury comes Sunday in Miami. Micah Peavy appears to be a prime candidate to replace Murphy in the starting lineup Friday, making him worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Murphy (lower back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Murphy was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign in fantasy hoops. The Pelicans are already very thin on the wings Friday, so players like Micah Peavy, Jordan Hawkins and Bryce McGowens may be asked to step up.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Logs 21 points in narrow loss
Rotowire
Murphy accumulated 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Monday's 130-125 loss to the Knicks.
Murphy was his usual productive self, and Zion Williamson's return to the starting lineup didn't seem to diminish the fifth-year pro's opportunities. Murphy has been a fixture with the first unit, while injuries have befell several of his colleagues in the first two months of the season. He's enjoyed a productive final month of 2025, averaging 22.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals over 13 games in December.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores team-high 24 points
Rotowire
Murphy notched 24 points (6-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-114 loss to the Suns.
Murphy was the leading scorer for the Pelicans in this game, and he was particularly locked in from three-point range while making a season-high six threes. The 25-year-old swingman snapped a streak of four games where he couldn't reach the 20-point mark, and he did it while showcasing an efficient shooting touch, particularly from deep. Murphy's consistency has been excellent as well, and he's drained two or more threes in eight of his 12 appearances this month.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Leads first unit with 19 points
Rotowire
Murphy produced 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to the Suns.
Murphy led an uninspired effort by the Pelicans' first unit, as he was the only starter to post a double-digit scoring total. The Pelicans stayed afloat thanks to great bench performances from Jordan Poole, Zion Williamson and Jose Alvarado. Even Murphy's total was below expectations, as he logged his second consecutive total below 20 points.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores 17 points in win
Rotowire
Murphy supplied 17 points (5-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 128-109 victory over the Pacers.
Murphy delivered a solid stat line in this win -- even if that meant not reaching the 20-point mark for the first time since Nov. 26 in a loss to the Grizzlies. Murphy should remain one of the Pelicans' go-to options on offense as long as he stays healthy.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Another strong line
Rotowire
Murphy supplied 27 points (9-13 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Thursday's 133-128 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Murphy has been on a tear this season, and it's easy to see why so many contenders are circling him ahead of the deadline. Through 26 games, Murphy has been a second-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 21.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.7 three-pointers.

This was Murphy's fourth double-double of the season, and his third straight game with just one turnover. Murphy has been on a tear over the past six games, posting averages of 25.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.7 turnovers, which has been good enough for top-15 value in 9-cat leagues. Zion Williamson's (thigh) return didn't impact Murphy's usage Sunday, but that may not be the case moving forward.

Rotowire

Murphy fared well on the offensive end in this one, knocking down 61.9 percent of his attempts from the field while contributing across the board. He's put up 30-plus points in two of his last four appearances, averaging 27.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.5 steals over this stretch.

Murphy ended Saturday's 119-101 loss to the Nets with 23 points (10-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes.
The fifth-year wing led the Pelicans in scoring as he topped 20 points for the third straight game since returning from an elbow injury. In those three contests to kick off December, Murphy's averaging 25.7 points, 9.0 boards, 5.7 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals, and he'll continue to see sky-high usage given all the injuries on the New Orleans roster.

Rotowire
Murphy contributed 21 points (7-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 loss to Minnesota.
Murphy did an excellent job of putting his playmaking skills on display in this one, notching a new season high in assists while committing only two turnovers. The only knock against him Thursday was the 0-for-5 performance from three-point territory, but the New Orleans marksman should have no trouble bouncing back Saturday with a matchup against one of the worst defensive teams in the league in Brooklyn.

Rotowire

Murphy is ending a two-game absence with an elbow injury. With Zion Williamson (adductor) iffy for Tuesday, Murphy could have massive usage on his plate. Murphy has averaged 19.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals per contest in 19 games this season.

Rotowire
Murphy (elbow) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Murphy is questionable to play Saturday against the Warriors due to a sore right elbow.
Murphy is dealing with some soreness in his shooting arm, so there's a chance he'll need to skip the first leg of this upcoming back-to-back set. If Murphy is forced to join Jordan Poole (quad), Herbert Jones (calf) and Jordan Hawkins (illness) on the sidelines, that would create some massive opportunity for guys like Saddiq Bey, Micah Peavy and Bryce McGowens.
