Scores 19 vs. Houston
Murray totaled 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to Houston.
Analysis
Murray sit out Friday's loss to the Raptors, but he returned to the lineup Sunday and posted a solid line across the board while contributing in each of the five major categories. Murray has scored in double digits in every game but one since making his season debut Feb. 24, averaging 17.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game across 13 appearances.

Available versus Houston
Murray (hand) is available for Sunday's game against Houston.
Analysis
Murray was initially listed as questionable for this contest due to a left hand contusion. However, the hand injury won't keep him off the court versus Houston. Murray's availability could result in less production from Jeremiah Fears, who was in line to get the start once again if needed.

Deemed questionable
Murray (Achilles) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis
Murray missed the second half of Atlanta's back-to-back set Friday for injury management purposes, and his availability remains up in the air for Sunday's contest. If he's cleared to return, Jeremiah Fears would likely be bumped back to the second unit.

Sitting out Friday
Murray (Achilles) will sit out Friday against the Raptors.
Analysis
Murray will be held out for injury management during the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Murray joining Trey Murphy (ankle) on the shelf, guys like Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins will likely see more minutes.

Unlikely to play Friday
Murray isn't expected to be available for the second half of New Orleans' back-to-back Friday against the Raptors due to injury management, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports. He provided 12 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and three steals across 29 minutes during Thursday's 129-108 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Murray has appeared in three straight games for the Pelicans, so the team will likely sit him down Friday in an effort to maintain his health. The team has understandably been careful with the Washington product after he came back from a right Achilles surgery Feb. 24, which is an approach that is expected to continue down the stretch of the regular season.

Available to play
Murray (Achilles) is available for Thursday's game against Detroit.
Analysis
Murray will shed his questionable tag for the front end of the Pelicans' back-to-back set, but he'll likely receive a maintenance day in Friday's game against the Raptors. Since completing his recovery from right Achilles surgery and making his season debut Feb. 24, Murray has appeared in 11 of 15 games and is averaging 17.6 points, 6.7 assists, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.5 steals in 27.7 minutes per contest.

Iffy for Thursday
Murray (rest) is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit.
Analysis
With the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a postseason spot, the team may be very cautious with Murray going forward. With Thursday's game being the front end of a back-to-back set, Murray is almost certainly going to rest in one of these games.

Hands out season-high 12 dimes
Murray ended with seven points (2-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to New York.
Analysis
The 12 dimes were a season best for the star guard, who did struggle mightily to score Tuesday. Overall, Murray is still putting together a convincing comeback from last year's Achilles rupture, averaging 18.9 points, 7.0 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.1 minutes per tilt in his last seven games.
