Trey Murphy III Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (neck) will make a third consecutive appearance on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report due to neck spasms. The team upgraded Murphy III to probable earlier in the day, and he has now been officially cleared to play. Even with the Pelicans struggling, Murphy III has had a fantastic campaign. He is averaging career-high numbers in several categories, posting 22.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. The Kings are horrible defensively, giving Murphy III a chance to do something special on Thursday night.

This will mark the fifth game in a row that Murphy has missed due to a right shoulder contusion. He is being ruled out a full day in advance, so he's probably not close to returning.

Murphy III tallied 19 points, four rebounds, and six assists in 27 minutes on Wednesday. He has been a bright spot on a struggling team. Jeremiah Fears, who missed a triple-double by two assists against Miami, will likely rejoin the starting lineup if Murphy III isn't available after the All-Star break. There would also be additional minutes available for Bryce McGowens, who totaled 13 points, three assists, and one steal in Wednesday's loss.

Bryce McGowens and rookie Micah Peavy should see minutes but remain unreliable for consistent fantasy production.
