Moving back to bench
Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Suns, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The Pelicans will have Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones back in the starting lineup, so Murphy will head to the bench. This will be the first time Murphy comes off the bench this season.

Shooting woes continue
Murphy ended with 11 points (3-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 118-85 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
Murphy was off the mark from the field in Sunday's blowout loss, and he's struggled to find a rhythm after missing the first 10 games of the season due to a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old sharpshooter is converting just 30.3 percent of his threes and averaging a career-worst 1.5 turnovers across eight games, but he's softening the blow a bit for fantasy managers by putting up a career-high 17.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 31.9 minutes per contest. The injury-riddled Pelicans figure to continue to give Murphy the green light from downtown while the team is missing Brandon Ingram (calf) and Zion Williamson (hamstring), and the forward should continue to see a boost in usage while the two stars are sidelined.

Scores 21 points in return
Murphy finished with 21 points (8-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 120-109 loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Murphy scored at least 20 points for the third consecutive game, albeit on inefficient shooting. Although his numbers have been decent since making his season debut, Murphy continues to be eased back into the rotation, having missed two of the last five games. Across seven games, he is averaging 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes per game. He should continue to play a key role for the Pelicans, with an increased workload potentially just over the horizon.

Will suit up Friday
Murphy (knee) is available for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Murphy will return to game action after missing Wednesday's loss to Toronto due to a left knee bone bruise. The 24-year-old has missed significant time this season due to a right hamstring strain and a knee injury, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if he operates under a minutes restriction on Friday. In six regular-season outings, Murphy has averaged 18.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks across 31.5 minutes per game.
