Questionable to face Houston
Murphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Analysis
Murphy is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain. If the 25-year-old wing remains sidelined, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins could continue seeing increased playing time.

Out again Friday
Murphy (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
Murphy will miss his second game in a row, but he remains day-to-day. The Pelicans are out of the playoff hunt, so the team may be cautious going forward. Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins could be more involved as a result Friday.

Out Thursday
Murphy (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
Murphy will miss his first action since Feb. 28 after picking up a right ankle injury. In the past, the Pelicans have elected to start both Herbert Jones and Yves Missi when without Murphy, though Jeremiah Fears could also be more heavily involved in the rotation with Murphy sidelined Thursday.

Questionable for Thursday
Murphy is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons with right ankle soreness.
Analysis
Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, and with the Pelicans no longer in the mix for a playoff spot, a maintenance day is surely on the table. If he's held out Thursday, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole could take on larger roles.

Scores 16 points in loss
Murphy ended Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Knicks with 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-12 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes.
Analysis
With the Pelicans eliminated from the playoffs with this loss, it will be interesting to see how the team handles Murphy's minutes and usage the rest of the way. Through 64 appearances this season, Murphy holds averages of 21.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.3 three-pointers.
