Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Murray (hip) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Murray exited Saturday's win over the Bulls after tweaking his left hip, and now he's in danger of sitting out Monday's game. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if Murray is forced to the sidelines, Jalen Pickett would be in line for a start, and guys like Cameron Johnson and Christian Braun would be asked to step it up on offense.

The severity of Murray's injury remains unclear, though at the time of his departure, the Nuggets held a 15-point lead, so he may have been held out for the final four minutes as a precaution. Head coach David Adelman said he's confident Murray will be OK moving forward, according to Winge. That said, fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Murray's status leading up to the Nuggets' next game Monday versus the Cavaliers.

Murray finished with 12 points (4-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-111 loss to the Thunder.
The All-Star break couldn't come soon enough for Murray, who has been dealing with hamstring and hip inflammation of late and presumably could use some time to heal up. Although he's shored up his recent totals with significant assist numbers, his shot volume has taken a slight hit since returning from a one-game absence. His success beyond the arc has also taken a hit, as he has shot only 31.8 percent from three-point range over the past four games.

Murray's performance Tuesday is a reflection of the career year he's having. It was his 12th double-double of the year as he finished with 24 points and 10 assists in the loss to Detroit after missing Denver's previous contest with a hip injury. The nine-year vet is averaging career-highs in points (25.9) and assists (7.4) per game.
