Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Exits early Sunday
Murphy has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Nuggets with a left ankle injury. He finished the game with 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes.Murphy turned in excellent numbers during his time on the floor, but he was denied an even bigger night after tweaking his ankle late in the third quarter and subsequently getting shut down for the final period. He'll presumably undergo further testing Monday before the New Orleans Pelicans determine his status for their next game Thursday versus the Rockets.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Leads way with 26 points
Murphy accumulated a team-high 26 points (11-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Saturday's 104-93 loss to New York.Only two other New Orleans Pelicans scored in double digits on the night against a tough Knicks defense. Murphy has scored more than 20 points in four of five games since returning to the starting lineup from a brief two-game stint on the second unit, and over that stretch, the fourth-year forward has averaged 23.2 points, 4.8 boards, 3.2 threes, 2.4 assists, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor. As long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Brandon Ingram (ankle) remain sidelined, Murphy should be a go-to player for the Pelicans.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Leads New Orleans in blowout loss
Murphy had 28 points (10-17 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 133-113 loss to the Rockets.Murphy delivered a stellar performance while setting a season-high mark in points, albeit in a losing effort. The 24-year-old is on pace to average a career-high 18.7 points per game, and with Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined, Murphy should continue to see increased opportunity on the offensive end. Over his last five outings, Murphy has averaged 21.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.8 blocks across 36.8 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: 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.Even though CJ McCollum was the New Orleans 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.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: 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.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 New Orleans 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.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Sparks bench with 19 points
Murphy ended Thursday's 126-124 win over Phoenix with 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 34 minutes.Murphy retreated to the bench Thursday due to the return of Brandon Ingram and Herbert Jones. Murphy still managed to play 34 minutes and led the New Orleans Pelicans' reserves in scoring, and it appears he should have some meaningful playing time in a reserve role moving forward. Through 10 regular-season games (nine starts), Murphy is averaging 17.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 32.6 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Shooting woes continue
Murphy ended with 11 points (3-14 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 118-85 loss to the Knicks.Murphy was off the mark from the field in Sunday's blowout loss, and he's struggled to find a rhythm after missing the first 10 games of the season due to a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old sharpshooter is converting just 30.3 percent of his threes and averaging a career-worst 1.5 turnovers across eight games, but he's softening the blow a bit for fantasy managers by putting up a career-high 17.8 points and 5.4 rebounds in 31.9 minutes per contest. The injury-riddled New Orleans Pelicans figure to continue to give Murphy the green light from downtown while the team is missing Brandon Ingram (calf) and Zion Williamson (hamstring), and the forward should continue to see a boost in usage while the two stars are sidelined.
