Fantasy Impact: Murray continues an impactful stretch on the offensive end of the floor of late, finishing with at least 14 points and five assists in each of his last five games for the Nuggets. The versatile guard continues to maximize his opportunities on the floor as part of a Denver starting five centered around all-world center Nikola Jokic, averaging 20.9 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game while posting a 26.7% usage rate so far this season.
