Another strong performance
Murray amassed 15 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Friday's 118-116 loss to the Suns.
Analyse
Murray took a seat Thursday in Sacramento for rest reasons but was back in action for the second half of New Orleans' back-to-back set. He played at least 30 minutes for the first time this campaign, continuing to put up strong numbers since making his season debut at the end of February. Murray has scored in double figures and recorded at least one steal in all five appearances thus far, averaging 15.4 points, 6.0 assists, 5.2 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 26.2 minutes a night.

Cleared to play Friday
Murray (rest) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.
Analyse
After missing the front end of this back-to-back set Thursday against the Kings, Murray is set to return to the lineup. With this news, Yves Missi is likely to shift back to the bench for New Orleans.

Sitting out Thursday
Murray (reconditioning) is out for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Analyse
Murray is sitting out the first leg of this back-to-back set. The expectation is that the star guard will be able to return Friday, when the Pelicans face the Suns in Phoenix. Derik Queen figures to start in Murray's place Thursday, and Jeremiah Fears should see an uptick in playmaking responsibilities.

Available to play Sunday
Murray (reconditioning) is listed as available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Analyse
As expected, Murray will return to the lineup Sunday after sitting out Saturday's win over the Jazz for injury management. The 29-year-old point guard is being eased back into action after a year-long absence due to a torn Achilles and is not yet cleared for both ends of back-to-back sets. Murray has looked sharp in his first two appearances this season, most recently tallying 17 points, nine assists, and four steals across 26 minutes in Thursday's win over Utah.
