Scores 21 points Thursday
Murphy amassed 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 40 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 loss to the Kings.
Analysis
Even though CJ McCollum was the Pelicans' leading scorer in this tight loss Thursday, there's no question Murphy made his presence felt as well. He seems to have recovered the starting role due to Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence, and Murphy has scored at least 20 points in his previous two outings with the first unit, so expect him to continue having a sizable role on offense for the time being. That shouldn't be surprising given how depleted the Pelicans are, though. Murphy is also on a roll of four straight games with more than 15 points, averaging 20.3 points and shooting 53.1 percent from the field in that span.

Posts 25 points in starting role
Murphy chipped in 25 points (8-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 loss to the Spurs.
Analysis
With Brandon Ingram (ankle) sidelined, Murphy slid into the starting lineup and produced his highest-scoring total of the season. It's a spot he may occupy for some time, as Ingram's ankle strain is reportedly serious, adding to the Pelicans' litany of injury absences. Murphy has also been a frequent member of the injury report this season, but his fantasy stock should get a big boost if he can stay healthy.

Back in starting lineup Sunday
Murphy will enter the starting lineup in Sunday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
With Brandon Ingram (ankle) sidelined indefinitely, Murphy will slot into the starting five. The 24-year-old forward has started in nine of 11 possible matchups thus far, during which he has averaged 17.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 32.6 minutes per game.
