Top Keegan Murray News

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Bounces back against Wizards

    Murray closed Saturday's 132-118 victory over the Wizards with 19 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes.

    Murray scored in double digits for the second game in a row and surpassed the 15-point plateau for the first time since Feb. 26. The rookie is fully entrenched as a starter for the Kings, but his performances remain inconsistent. He's averaging 9.3 points per game while shooting 40.3 percent from the field across nine March outings.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Struggles from field Monday

    Murray racked up seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and two rebounds over 22 minutes during Monday's 133-124 loss to the Bucks.

    Murray's role in the starting lineup is safe, but there's no question he needs to start producing better. He's now scored in single digits in three of his last five games and is averaging a meager 10.3 points per game since the All-Star break.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Disappears in win

    Murray contributed zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one assist and one block in 15 minutes during Saturday's 128-119 victory over Phoenix.

    Despite starting Saturday's game, Murray failed to do anything substantial and ended up with nothing to show for his 15 minutes of court time. Saturday marked the second time in a week that Murray failed to score, and while there have been some impressive totals in the interim, the rookie's variance makes him a risky fantasy option.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Sneaky double-double Tuesday

    Murray notched 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 victory over the Thunder.

    Murray continues to play his best basketball of the season, scoring double-digits for the fourth straight game and recording the fourth double-double of his young career. It appears as though the game is starting to slow down for him, allowing him to play more within his comfort zone. While he remains outside the top 100 for the season, he has been able to put up top-30 value over the past week. He won't be this good every night, but based on his current trajectory, he should be added in all formats.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Woeful again in loss

    Murray had six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and one block over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 120-109 loss to the Suns.

    Murray played just 21 minutes in the loss, struggling to have any sort of impact on the game. Coming into the season as a prized rookie piece, it's basically been one disappointment after another. He is barely a top-120 player for the season, although savvy managers will know that rankings don't always tell the whole story. His overall value is reliant on his ability to score from the perimeter and not turn the ball over, both of which are categories that can be streamed across competitive leagues. At this point, he should be looked at as nothing more than a possible streaming candidate.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Blows up for career-high 30 points

    Murray finished with 30 points (11-17 FG, 8-12 3Pt), six rebounds, two steals and one assist and across 33 minutes during Monday's 140-120 win over the Rockets.

    After scoring just seven points on a combined 2-for-21 shooting from the field over his previous three outings, Murray authored a much-needed bounce-back performance Monday. The 30 points marked a new career high for the rookie, who achieved his scoring largely on the back of unsustainably hot shooting from distance. Murray's fantasy game is fairly limited when he's not scoring, so he'll need to start putting up points at a steadier clip before managers can include him in lineups with any sort of confidence.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Ugly night Friday

    Murray registered three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Friday's 107-104 loss to the Pacers.

    Murray made just one field goal in the loss, ending with three points and very little else. While he has shown significant improvement over the past month, he remains on the fringe when it comes to standard fantasy formats. His value is built on efficiently hitting three-pointers as well as tallying solid rebounding numbers. When his shot isn't falling, his value takes a big hit, making him a hard player to trust, especially in highly competitive leagues.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Inefficient against Spurs

    Murray provided two points (0-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 victory over the Spurs.

    Murray was a consistent scorer for most of January, but he matched his lowest scoring total of the season Wednesday while failing to convert any field-goal attempts. The rookie has had some lackluster performances mixed in with his glimpses of promise to begin the year, but he's maintained plenty of playing time and will have a chance to bounce back during the Kings' packed schedule ahead of the All-Star break.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Notches third double-double

    Murray provided 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 39 minutes in Monday's 118-111 overtime win over the Timberwolves.

    The double-double was Murray's third of the season, all of which have come within the past two weeks. During his past seven games, Murray is averaging 15.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.4 three-pointers in 36.1 minutes per contest, a level of production that's in line with what fantasy managers might have expected after the rookie enjoyed a brilliant run in the Las Vegas Summer League. However, Murray has offered little in the peripheral categories during that seven-game stretch (1.0 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.1 steals per contest) and is shooting an unsustainable 55.9 percent from the field, 51.1 percent from three-point range and 100 percent from the free-throw line, so managers should expect a downturn sooner rather than later.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Rough night Saturday

    Murray recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and four rebounds in 32 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

    Murray was nowhere to be seen in the loss, highlighting the fact that recent performances can mask a player's true value. Despite being a top-60 player over the past month, Murray offers upside in basically two categories only, those being three-pointers and turnovers. As we saw in this game, when his shot isn't falling, he has very little to fall back on. Of course, he will be better than this on most nights, at least from a scoring standpoint. With that said, he is better looked at as a streaming option as opposed to a must-roster player, despite what his ranking might say.

  • Kings' Keegan Murray: Flirts with double-double

    Murray ended with 20 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 133-100 victory over the Grizzlies.

    Murray notched his seventh career game with at least 20 points and fell one rebound shy of his third double-double over his past four appearances. During that stretch, the rookie has averaged 18.0 points and 9.3 rebounds in 37.3 minutes per game, but his shooting percentages (63.2 from the field and 57.7 from deep) suggest his strong production will be difficult to maintain. Nonetheless, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft is off to a great start to the 2023 portion of the Kings' schedule.
