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.
Analysis
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. Murphy snapped a streak of four games where he couldn't reach the 20-point mark, and he did it while showing 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.
Analysis
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.
