Dejounte Murray Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Friday against the Boston Celtics. It's also looking unlikely that he will play in the season finale on Sunday after picking up a hand injury. Jeremiah Fears has been on a tear since Murray departed the lineup and should be one of the stars of the show again on Friday night. The 19-year-old posted a franchise rookie record with 40 points in Tuesday's win over Utah and has averaged 29.0 points over the last three games, along with 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.7 steals.

He hasn't yet played in both games of a back-to-back set since returning from a torn Achilles in February. Jeremiah Fears, who scored 21 points in 26 minutes off the bench on Thursday against Portland, is expected to have a larger role without Murray. There's also a possibility that we will see Jordan Poole back in the rotation on Friday night.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (hand) will play on Sunday night against the Houston Rockets. After hurting his left hand, Murray was initially listed as questionable on the injury report. Since recovering from a torn Achilles, Murray has posted strong numbers. He has averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.7 steals across 12 appearances.

Murray was unavailable on Friday against Toronto when the Pelicans wrapped up a back-to-back and might now miss another game. He has a left-hand contusion.

As a result of Murray's departure from the lineup, there was also a Jordan Poole sighting in Friday's game. After a 12-point, six-assist effort, Poole might have earned an opportunity to be part of the rotation again on Sunday.

After playing 29 minutes on Thursday, Murray will sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set. Murray made his season debut in late February after missing the beginning of the season while recovering from an Achilles injury.

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Dejounte Murray (illness) will return to action on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was out for the first game of the week due to illness on Monday night versus Dallas. Murray has steadily gained momentum since making his season debut in late February and has looked very impressive in his most recent two appearances, averaging 31.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.5 steals. He posted these numbers in games against Houston and Toronto, both of which rank in the top 10 in defensive efficiency. The Clippers are at 19th, making Wednesday's game an even better matchup for Murray.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers after missing the previous contest. If he remains out, rookie guard Jeremiah Fears could continue seeing meaningful minutes after posting 17 points, six rebounds, and five assists in 25 minutes off the bench last game. Fears could be worth a look in deeper leagues for assists and scoring if Murray misses another game. Trey Murphy III and Zion Williamson may also handle more playmaking duties. Murray should remain rostered in most formats, though managers should monitor his pregame status.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Dejounte Murray (illness) will not play in Monday's matchup against Dallas, opening short-term minutes in the backcourt. Rookie guard Jeremiah Fears could move into a larger role after scoring nine points with three three-pointers in 13 minutes off the bench in his last outing, though he remains a risky deep-league streamer due to uncertain minutes.
