Rough shooting in return
Murray (hand) tallied 14 points (5-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes in Wednesday's 119-93 loss to the Raptors.
Analysis
Murray was back in action for the first time since the season-opening Oct. 23 win over the Bulls, when he fractured his left hand late in the contest. He took back his normal spot in the starting five and didn't see his full complement of minutes, though the blowout loss may have played a factor in suppressing his playing time. Murray endured a tough shooting night in his return, but he should round into form once he gets a few more games under his belt. Expect his minutes to pick up a bit in Friday's matchup with the Grizzlies, assuming the Pelicans can make that game more competitive.

Available to play
Murray (hand) is available to play Wednesday against the Raptors.
Analysis
After missing the past 17 games for the Pelicans, Murray has the green light to return to the court. On Tuesday, coach Willie Green mentioned that he was expecting Murray to have some restrictions, but he didn't get into specifics. With Murray back, Elfrid Payton could lose a lot of steam after a handful of impressive performances.

Targeting Wednesday return
Murray (hand) is targeting a return to action Wednesday against the Raptors, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Analysis
Murray has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pacers, his 17th in a row on the shelf. However, he's been ramping up his activity at recent practices, and it's been reported previously that he would make a return at some point this week. Given how many injuries the Pelicans are dealing with, Murray's return will be a massive boost to the team. With this news, Brandon Boston's upside could soon be capped.

Won't play Monday

Analysis
