Misses game-winning shot in loss
Murray registered 45 points (13-19 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 11-12 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 128-125 victory over the Jazz.
Analysis
Although Murray failed to make a three-pointer in the final seconds to reverse the outcome, he was otherwise brilliant beyond the arc with eight threes in the narrow loss. His stat line marked his second-highest total of the season and his third-highest total from deep. He also raised his free-throw percentage to 87.9 percent with a near-perfect night from the charity stripe.

Drops 45 points in win
Murray produced 45 points (13-19 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 11-12 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 128-125 victory over the Jazz.
Analysis
Murray was the star of the show for the Nuggets and has now scored 40 or more points four times in 57 appearances this season. The Kentucky product also got back on track as a facilitator after averaging 3.8 assists over his last five matchups entering Monday. The only downside of his monster night came in the form of a team-high seven turnovers.

Scores 25 points in loss
Murray ended with 25 points (9-22 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-108 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Murray struggled in the first half but scored 17 of his 25 points in the second, albeit in a losing effort. The star point guard didn't impress from beyond the arc, though he still finished as Denver's second-leading scorer. He has reached the 20-point threshold in five of the Nuggets' six outings since the All-Star break, with the only exception being Wednesday's win over Boston when he played just eight minutes due to an illness.

Pours in game-high 39 in OT loss
Murray recorded 39 points (12-26 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 8-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 47 minutes during Friday's 127-121 overtime loss to the Thunder.
Analysis
The 39 points led all scorers on the night, but despite that performance from Murray -- as well as a triple-double from Nikola Jokic -- the Nuggets came up short against the Western Conference's top club. Murray played only eight minutes Wednesday due to an illness, but he's otherwise been very productive in February. Even with that dud on his ledger, the 29-year-old guard is averaging 24.6 points, 6.6 assists, 4.7 boards, 2.9 threes and 1.3 combined steals-plus-blocks over the last 10 games.

Green light to play Friday
Murray (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Thunder, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
Analysis
Murray was pulled from the Nuggets' win over the Celtics on Wednesday due to an illness, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to suit up for Friday's Western Conference battle. He had scored at least 20 points in seven of eight games prior to Wednesday's contest and averaged 25.6 points, 7.4 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 threes and 0.8 steals over 34.8 minutes per game in that span.

Questionable for Friday
Murray (illness) is questionable for Friday's game in Oklahoma City.
Analysis
Murray attempted to play through the illness in Wednesday's win over the Celtics, but he only lasted eight minutes before tapping out. We'll have a better idea on Murray's status based on his activity level at Friday's shootaround, but even if he tries to power through it, he'll be a risky target in daily fantasy leagues.

Night ends early due to illness
Murray (illness) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Celtics. He finished with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one assist in eight minutes.
Analysis
Murray exited Wednesday's contest during the first quarter, and after receiving treatment, he's since been shut down for the rest of the night. Bruce Brown and KJ Simpson could see more time on the court as Denver's primary facilitators while Murray sit out. The Nuggets will hope that Murray can shake off the illness in time to play in Friday's game in Oklahoma City.
February 26, 2026
Exits with illness
Murray is questionable to return to Wednesday's game against Boston due to illness.
Analysis
Murray was considered probable due to hamstring tightness leading up to Wednesday's game. However, he left the contest in the first quarter because of an illness. While he's sidelined, look for Bruce Brown and KJ Simpson to see more playing time.
February 26, 2026
Officially cleared
Murray (hamstring) is available for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Analysis
Murray will shed a probable tag to face the Celtics on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old had been tending to tightness in his right hamstring. He's averaging career highs in points (25.5), assists (7.5) and rebounds (4.4) per game this season.
February 24, 2026
Probable for Wednesday
Murray (hamstring) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against Boston.
Analysis
Murray is still dealing with lingering right hamstring tightness but is likely to suit up Wednesday. The star point guard has averaged 21.2 points, 6.8 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers across 32.4 minutes per game over his last five outings.
