Held in check in Game 6
Murray posted 12 points (4-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 40 minutes during Thursday's 110-98 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Murray will be disappointed with his performance in the playoffs, as Minnesota limited him to a 35.7 percent mark from the field and 26.2 percent from beyond the arc. He found plenty of success in the regular season, however. Across 75 appearances, he averaged 25.4 points, 7.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.

Posts 24 points in victory
Murray ended Monday's 125-113 win over Minnesota in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 24 points (9-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and four steals in 39 minutes.
Analysis
Although Murray converted only 39.1 percent of his shots, his secondary numbers helped him record a solid fantasy total. Murray's four steals matched a season high, and he recorded seven assists for the third time in the first-round series. A more accurate shooting evening will be needed from Murray to increase the team's chances of advancing.

Another 30-point performance
Murray contributed 30 points (10-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block across 42 minutes during Saturday's 112-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Murray scored 11 of his team-high 30 points in the fourth quarter, but his efforts were not enough for the Nuggets to mount a comeback. Murray has scored exactly 30 points in three of four games of the series while also recording at least five rebounds and five assists. The series will return to Denver on Monday, when Murray and the Nuggets will look to embark on coming back from a 3-1 series deficit against a Timberwolves team that will be without Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (knee) moving forward.
