Trey Murphy III Fantasy Stats

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (shoulder) wasn't able to complete Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He left in the third quarter due to right shoulder soreness. Hopefully, this isn't anything serious, as Murphy III's 2024-25 campaign was cut short by a torn labrum in his right shoulder. 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.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (hand) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Murphy was tagged as probable earlier in the day due to right-hand soreness. It doesn't appear to be serious enough to keep Murphy on the sideline. Fantasy managers should expect Murphy to have his full workload on Sunday. This season, Murphy is averaging 22.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 35.7 minutes per game. Fantasy managers should double-check their lineups and make sure Murphy is in there ahead of tip-off.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (back) will return from a one-game absence on Friday versus the Washington Wizards. He's been dealing with lower back spasms, but the team upgraded Murphy III's status from questionable to available.

He could cook up something special again on Friday, as Washington has the second-worst defensive rating in the league.

His potential absence keeps usage elevated for Jordan Poole, who logged 39 minutes and produced 21 points, three assists, three steals, and six three-pointers in his last outing. Poole carries real fantasy value due to points volume and strong free-throw impact, though his field-goal percentage remains volatile. Bryce McGowens and rookie Micah Peavy should see minutes but remain unreliable for consistent fantasy production.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (elbow) is uncertain for Saturday's game at Golden State because of right elbow soreness, which could keep him out of the opening game of a back-to-back. The Pelicans are already without Jordan Poole (quadriceps) and Herbert Jones (calf), which pushed Saddiq Bey into a 39-minute workload Wednesday that produced 18 points, 10 rebounds, and three steals. A Murphy absence would keep Bey in strong streaming range, while Micah Peavy and Bryce McGowens offer deeper-league utility given the team's depleted wing rotation.
