Ruled out vs. Portland
Murphy (back) won't play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Mark Haynes of The Sacramento Observer reports.
Analyse
After being a late addition to the injury report, Murphy is unable to go for the Pelicans on Friday. The star forward's next chance to return from a back injury comes Sunday in Miami. Micah Peavy appears to be a prime candidate to replace Murphy in the starting lineup Friday, making him worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

Iffy for Friday
Murphy (lower back) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analyse
Murphy was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign in fantasy hoops. The Pelicans are already very thin on the wings Friday, so players like Micah Peavy, Jordan Hawkins and Bryce McGowens may be asked to step up.

Logs 21 points in narrow loss
Murphy accumulated 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Monday's 130-125 loss to the Knicks.
Analyse
Murphy was his usual productive self, and Zion Williamson's return to the starting lineup didn't seem to diminish the fifth-year pro's opportunities. Murphy has been a fixture with the first unit, while injuries have befell several of his colleagues in the first two months of the season. He's enjoyed a productive final month of 2025, averaging 22.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals over 13 games in December.

Scores team-high 24 points
Murphy notched 24 points (6-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-114 loss to the Suns.
Analyse
Murphy was the leading scorer for the Pelicans in this game, and he was particularly locked in from three-point range while making a season-high six threes. The 25-year-old swingman snapped a streak of four games where he couldn't reach the 20-point mark, and he did it while showcasing an efficient shooting touch, particularly from deep. Murphy's consistency has been excellent as well, and he's drained two or more threes in eight of his 12 appearances this month.

Leads first unit with 19 points
Murphy produced 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to the Suns.
Analyse
Murphy led an uninspired effort by the Pelicans' first unit, as he was the only starter to post a double-digit scoring total. The Pelicans stayed afloat thanks to great bench performances from Jordan Poole, Zion Williamson and Jose Alvarado. Even Murphy's total was below expectations, as he logged his second consecutive total below 20 points.
