Kris Murray Fantasy Stats

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (quadriceps) won't play on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. He will exit the lineup due to a quadriceps contusion after logging 30 minutes in Sunday's win over the Boston Celtics. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) unavailable, Murray made his fifth consecutive start on Sunday. The team may now look to Sidy Cissoko to fill one of the starting forward spots, while Rayan Rupert is likely to receive increased minutes coming off the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (neck) will play on Friday against the Clippers. He was initially listed as questionable because of right cervical soreness. Fortunately, the 25-year-old was upgraded to probable, paving way for his availability and avoiding his first absence since the win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 3. With that said, everyone on the roster has an excellent chance of producing versus the 8-21 Clippers. However, Murray has averaged only 5.9 points this season, so he's tough to trust, even with a favorable matchup on the horizon.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday's encounter with the Sacramento Kings. The veteran has had a heavy workload lately and will take Saturday night off due to a sore left Achilles tendon. Portland listed Grant as questionable on the initial injury report. Kris Murray has been announced as Grant's replacement in the starting lineup. While a starting role increases Murray's fantasy appeal, his numbers haven't improved much in the first unit. Across three previous starts this season, Murray has averaged 7.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 29.7 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray will join the first unit on Thursday night against the New Orleans Pelicans. Portland is without Donovan Clingan (lower leg), Robert Williams (illness), and Yang Hansen (face), giving Murray a good opportunity to play a big role in the frontcourt. Duop Reath is also expected to see more action on Thursday night. Murray's previous two starts this season didn't go too well, as he averaged 8.0 points and 5.0 rebounds across 30.0 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (illness) has picked up a questionable status for Friday's NBA Cup contest against the Denver Nuggets. The former first-round pick has seen an uptick in minutes so far this season compared to last year and has stepped up his shooting efficiency. So far, he's averaging 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals across 21.8 minutes per game while shooting .529 from the floor and .333 from beyond the arc. In his absence against the Utah Jazz, Rayan Rupert, Caleb Love, and Matisse Thybulle saw some added minutes, but they would only serve as a streaming option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (quadriceps) will return to action as a starter on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He missed Monday's meeting with Denver due to a left quadriceps contusion, and Murray was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's rematch. Murray will make his first start of the campaign with Jerami Grant (knee) sidelined. Last season, Murray logged 29 starts and didn't do much with the additional workload, so fantasy managers should tame their expectations for him.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (quadriceps) will not be in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Denver Nuggets. He has been downgraded from questionable to out, as Murray has failed to recover from a quadriceps contusion. With Jerami Grant (knee) also out, Jabari Walker may find himself in a significant role after playing only a handful of minutes over the past two contests. However, Walker is not a reliable source of fantasy value.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) is set to play on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. He recently suffered a chest contusion. However, Murray managed to play through the injury on Thursday against the Orlando Magic and is ready for action again on Friday after ditching a questionable tag. In Thursday's blowout victory over Orlando, Murray recorded six points and three rebounds in 12 minutes. He serves as an additional option off the bench for the Trail Blazers but does not provide any value for fantasy managers.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) will not feature against Miami on Tuesday. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The team will also be without Toumani Camara (illness), leaving Portland without two rotational pieces for the game. Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert are in a position to benefit from the situation, but they have not previously done enough to warrant fantasy attention.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Miami. He is listed on the injury report with a chest contusion. Murray averages close to 15 minutes per game this season, but his three-point shots have not been dropping, and he has been limited to 4.4 points and 2.3 rebounds. Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert might see more action off the Trail Blazers bench if Murray is out on Tuesday, but they are not viable fantasy options.
