Sun Jun 26 202219:48Spurs Looking For Plenty In Return For Dejounte Murray
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray has been a topic of discussion as of late. Recent rumblings have hinted at him being sent to Atlanta. However, it's clear the Spurs are looking to get a lot back for him from any team looking to acquire his services, with three first-round picks serving as the starting point for potential conversations. The 25-year-old, who has two years remaining on his current deal, averaged a career-high 21.1 points, 9.2 assists, 8.3 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in 2021-22. While Murray's shoddy shooting numbers from deep haven't translated well for category manager, his all-around abilities rank him as a legit top-10 option in drafts heading toward October.

Wed Apr 13 202221:21Dejounte Murray Set For A Full Workload On Wednesday
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray missed five consecutive games to start the month of April as he was dealing with an upper respiratory illness. He returned for the team's final game of the year, but was a bit limited in the game. He played 32 minutes and wound up racking up 17 points, seven boards and one rebound - an extremely lackluster stat line when compared to his season-long averages of 21.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game. Murray will be in for a full workload in Wednesday night's play-in game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Expect for him to play around 40 minutes in the game with a solid chance of flirting with a triple-double.

Wed Apr 6 202218:39Dejounte Murray Will Miss Thursday’s Game
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's contest vs. Minnesota. The absence marks Murray's fourth in a row due to an upper-respiratory illness, which has paved the way for Tre Jones to take over starting point guard duties. Jones jumps off the page as a DFS asset due to the 13.7 points and 8.7 assists he has averaged over his last three outings. When healthy, Murray has showcased elite fantasy upside this season, as he stands to be one of the premier DFS options if he is cleared in time for the Play-in Tournament next week. His next chance to suit up comes Saturday against the Warriors.

Tue Apr 5 202220:21Dejounte Murray Out Tuesday, Unlikely For Thursday
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be his third consecutive missed game due to an upper respiratory illness. Unfortunately, it sounds as if he'll be missing the team's next game on Thursday as well. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich was asked on Tuesday if Murray would be joining the team in Minnesota for Thursday's game, and Pop replied by saying, "He's a little bit more improbable." Tre Jones should continue to have the keys to the offense for Tuesday's game and likely Thursday's as well. He's a must-start player until further notice as he's averaging 13.5 points, 8.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game so far in April with Murray out.

Mon Apr 4 202215:08Dejounte Murray To Play On Tuesday
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (illness) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He has been dealing with a non-COVID related illness and sat out their previous game on Sunday. However, the Spurs will welcome Murray back on Tuesday as they go into must-win mode. Both Tre Jones and Joshua Primo will lose playing time and value with Murray returning. Fantasy managers should feel safe putting Murray back in their lineups for Tuesday.

Sun Apr 3 202218:19Dejounte Murray Out With Illness Sunday
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Murray came down with a non-COVID illness and it forced him to miss the team's game on Friday, which was also against the Blazers. In that game, we saw Joshua Primo step into the starting five. Primo logged 31 minutes and compiled 13 points, four assists, three rebounds, two three-pointers and one steal while shooting 4-for-10 from the field. Primo is a great streaming option for Sunday. With Murray out, we should also see increased usage for guards such as Josh Richardson and Lonnie Walker IV.

Sat Apr 2 202218:46Dejounte Murray Questionable For Sunday
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He sat out of Friday's game due to a non-COVID related illness. Tre Jones and Joshua Primo helped the Spurs beat the Blazers on Friday, so possibly they will be asked to do it again. Jones has slightly more upside, assuming he's starting, but Primo has value as well. Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday for another update on Murray.

Tue Mar 29 202210:10Dejounte Murray Drops Career-High 33 Points In Win
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray picked a crucial contest to compile a new career best in scoring Monday. Murray went 11-for-18 from the field overall en route to a 33-point evening in which he packed the stat sheet to the tune of 11 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks. The double-double marks his 38th of the season during what has been a breakout campaign for the 25-year-old, who is on pace to set new career highs in scoring (21.0), assists (9.3) and rebounds (8.3) per game, all while leading the league with 2.1 steals on a nightly basis. With San Antonio in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race, DFS managers can continue to eye Murray for significant workloads down the stretch.

Sun Mar 27 202208:35Dejounte Murray Notches 13th Triple-Double Of Season
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray scuffled mightily from the field during Saturday's win over the Pelicans, but he led the way with a triple-double. New Orleans held Murray to just 4-for-19 shooting overall, but he went 7-for-8 from the free-throw stripe, adding in 13 assists and 11 rebounds to his 15 points. Seven different Spurs scored in double figures, while Murray played a game-high 40 minutes and added three steals to bolster his stat line; at 2.1 steals per game, the 25-year-old is on pace to cruise to leading the league. With the Spurs just a game out of the Play-in Tournament, expect Murray to be heavily leaned on over the final two weeks, beginning with Monday's matchup vs. Houston, whom he has recorded two double-doubles and a triple-double against in three prior meetings this year.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray helped lead the team to a blowout 133-96 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. He scored 28 points to go along with seven assists, six rebounds and one steal. He was extremely efficient with his shot in the game as he went 10-for-14 from the field, 3-for-5 from three-point range and 5-for-6 from the free throw strike. Murray's currently in the midst of his best month of the year from a scoring perspective. He's averaging 25.2 points per game in March, increasing his season-long scoring average to 20.9 points per game. He'll look to stay hot in the Spurs' next game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday.

Sun Mar 13 202223:13Dejounte Murray Off The Injury Report
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (calf) isn't listed on the league's official injury report, suggesting he will suit up on Monday night versus the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves. The 25-year-old didn't play on Saturday against the Pacers because of a left calf contusion, although his absence was most likely attributed to the team's back-to-back contests. Nevertheless, Tre Jones, who was one point shy of a triple-double versus Indiana while filling in for Murray, will see a significant decline in fantasy value.

Sat Mar 12 202216:29DeJounte Murray Scratched From Saturday's Lineup
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (calf) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Pacers. Murray had 27 points, nine boards, and five steals on Friday versus the Utah Jazz. However, the left calf contusion he's reportedly dealing with is apparently severe enough to keep him off the floor. Nevertheless, without Murray in the lineup, Tre Jones will likely take his place, with the 22-year-old averaging 14 points and six assists throughout five starts on the season. As a result, he'll draw plenty of interest as a value option in DFS formats, and rightfully so

Thu Mar 10 202209:54Dejounte Murray Racks Up 25 Points, 12 Assists
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray stuffed the stat sheet once again in Wednesday night's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He finished a rebound shy of a triple-double, compiling 25 points, 12 assists and nine rebounds. He hit one three-pointer and also added two steals. It was an efficient game for Murray as he shot 9-for-17 from the field and 6-for-6 from the free throw strike. The breakout year continues for the 25-year-old and he's been particularly impressive so far in March. Through four games this month, he's averaging 26.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game. His next game will be on Friday against the Utah Jazz.

Mon Mar 7 202215:27Dejounte Murray Is Available On Monday
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (calf) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He played 35 minutes against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday, but suffered a minor calf injury during that game. Both Devin Vassell (groin) and Lonnie Walker IV (illness) are listed as doubtful. Murray could be asked to do more than normal with the Spurs possibly shorthanded. Fantasy managers should make sure Murray is back in their lineups for Monday.

Mon Mar 7 202209:28Dejounte Murray Questionable On Monday
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (calf) is questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Murray is currently dealing with a left calf contusion. The injury first came up a little over a week ago and he's only missed one game so far. He sat out the second game of a back-to-back set on Saturday, February 26. Murray played through the injury this past Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets and logged 35 minutes while falling just a rebound shy of a triple-double. Fantasy managers should assume he's more on the probable side of questionable for Monday's game. However, make sure to keep an eye out for an official update ahead of the game's 8:30 PM EST tip-off.

Sat Feb 26 202215:12Dejounte Murray Won't Play Versus Heat
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. It's the second game of the back-to-back set, so the Spurs are being cautious here. The All-Star guard will sit out alongside Keldon Johnson (back) and Jakob Poeltl (back) for Saturday's game. The absence of Murray and Johnson should mean more minutes for Tre Jones, Lonnie Walker IV, and Devin Vassell. All of them could be possible streaming options, but Vassell appears the best of the three.

Fri Feb 4 202214:59Dejounte Murray, Jakob Poeltl Will Return To Action Friday
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (wrist) and center Jakob Poeltl (concussion) have been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's contest vs. Houston. Murray, who was left off the NBA All-Star roster, has been on a tear as of late, averaging 22.6 points, 11.1 assists, and 9.1 rebounds across his last seven outings. Poeltl missed one game in the league's concussion protocol, with his return zapping Thaddeus Young and Drew Eubanks of their DFS appeal. Murray shapes up to be a top tier DFS play in his own right, having dropped a 32-point triple-double on the Rockets back on Jan. 12.

Thu Feb 3 202218:10Dejounte Murray Ruled Out For Thursday
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (wrist) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. He was previously tagged as questionable due to a left wrist sprain, but the Spurs will play it safe here. Derrick White should see a spike in usage with Murray off the court. That means, White is looking like a quality DFS option as the primary ball handler on Thursday. Lonnie Walker IV and Tre Jones could have increased roles as well, but neither are trustworthy options. Walker might be a possible deep league streaming option, but doesn't have great upside. White is the biggest winner here with Murray sidelined.

Wed Feb 2 202218:13Dejounte Murray, Doug McDermott Questionable For Thursday
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray (wrist) and small forward Doug McDermott (ankle) have picked up questionable designations ahead of Thursday's contest vs. the Heat. Murray was able to play through the ailment to log 27 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists across 38 minutes Tuesday, a positive sign for his potential availability. McDermott, who has scored in double figures in each of his last three outings, is battling a sprained right ankle. An absence on the wing would thrust Devin Vassell into a larger role, thereby becoming a sizable DFS target. Fantasy managers will want to check back prior to tip-off Thursday to get the final word on the status of both Murray and McDermott.

Wed Jan 5 202218:30Dejounte Murray Returns Wednesday, Will Have Minutes Cap
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murrayhas been officially cleared to take the floor for Wednesday's game against Boston, but head coach Gregg Popovich revealed that Murray would face a minutes restriction that keeps him far below the 30-minute threshold. Murray has played below 30 minutes just twice all season, although his altered total figures to still knock much of the DFS appeal from the highly priced Derrick White. In the long-term, Murray's return gives the Spurs their most valuable fantasy asset back, as Murray is coming off a month in which he nearly averaged a double-double (15.8 points, 9.9 assists) across 12 games.
