Thu Mar 2813:17Dejounte Murray Questionable With Back Soreness
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. Murray was iffy for Wednesday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers with lower back soreness, and his status remains up in air on the second night of Atlanta's back-to-back. Bogdan Bogdanovic would play more as a point forward if the star guard sits out on Thursday, while 2020 second-rounder Vit Krejci would handle the bulk of the ball-handling duties in this case. Krejci has started the last five games for the Hawks and averaged 10.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.0 three-pointers in 31.9 minutes, but Boston ranks first in the Eastern Conference in opponent field-goal percentage (45.4%).

Wed Mar 2719:01Dejounte Murray Upgraded To Available
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) will play in Wednesday's matchup against Portland. He landed on the initial injury report with a sore back and a questionable designation, but the 2022 All-Star has now been cleared to play. Murray has been a beast for fantasy managers throughout the month, averaging 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 2.3 steals, and 3.8 three-point makes. He's already faced the Trail Blazers once in March, and Murray went off for 40 points in the contest. A similar performance on Wednesday isn't out of the question, with Trae Young (finger) and Jalen Johnson (ankle) still absent and Murray getting a lot of shots because of it.

Sun Mar 1016:50Dejounte Murray Available On Sunday
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (calf) will play on Sunday against the Pelicans. The former Spur had 41 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and two steals on Friday night in the narrow win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But he was a late addition to the injury report because of a calf contusion, although fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. As always, Murray should be featured in all fantasy lineups.

Mon Feb 2608:11Dejounte Murray Shines With Near Triple-Double
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray went close to a triple-double as the team started life without Trae Young (finger) with a 109-92 victory over Orlando on Sunday. He led all scorers with 25 points, had a game-high 11 assists, and was also among the most productive players on the glass, finishing with nine rebounds. Across 39 minutes of action, Murray shot 11-for-20 from the field with a 2-for-5 record from downtown and also grabbed a pair of steals. Murray should be set for a dominant stretch, with Young ruled out for multiple weeks. Bogdan Bogdanovic is also set to benefit as Young's replacement in the starting five. He produced a 17-5-3 line on Sunday.

Fri Feb 900:09Dejounte Murray Questionable Against Philly
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is questionable for Thursday's game in Philadelphia. Murray missed Wednesday's matchup versus the Boston Celtics because of lower back tightness. But because the 27-year-old was involved in numerous trade rumors over the last few weeks, most believed he wouldn't be on the roster after the deadline. However, he is staying put, although his latest ailment hopefully won't keep him off the floor for an extended period. Nevertheless, until Murray is back in the lineup, Bogdan Bogdanovic and De'Andre Hunter (knee) could see more action, with the former having a better chance of doing something meaningful for fantasy managers.

Wed Feb 718:54Dejounte Murray Ruled Out For Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The star guard is listed as questionable earlier in the day due to back tightness. The Hawks have ultimately decided to hold him out of the contest. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect this to be a long-term issue. Bogdan Bogdanovic figures to move into the starting five with Murray sidelined. A move into starting unit should give Bogdanovic a solid boost for Wednesday's game.

Sun Feb 415:42Jazz Reportedly Made An Offer For Dejounte Murray
According to Yahoo's Jake Fischer, speaking to Marc Stein on his podcast, the Jazz made an offer for Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. The former Spur has been a topic of trade rumblings, and the rumors continue to intensify heading to the deadline. Of course, the Lakers are another team that has expressed interest in acquiring the 27-year-old. However, it appears there's a chance he won't be on the Hawks' roster after the trade deadline. Murray has averaged a career-high 21.5 points with 5.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals this season. That said, he'll remain a productive fantasy option wherever he ends up moving ahead.

Sat Feb 318:52Dejounte Murray Cleared For Saturday's Game
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is good news after Murray was listed as questionable coming into this game due to back issues. Despite that, Murray will suit up and there is no word on Murray being restricted. The assumption is that Murray is going to have his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable putting Murray back in their lineups on Saturday.

Tue Jan 3018:37Dejounte Murray Available Against Lakers
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Murray missed Sunday's one-point win over the Toronto Raptors due to tightness in his right hamstring, but he's good to go on Tuesday. The 27-year-old star playmaker is tallying 21.4 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 threes, and 1.3 steals per game and needs to be inserted in all season-long fantasy lineups. Murray's return should push Bogdan Bogdanovic back to his sixth-man role against the Lakers.

Tue Jan 3009:38Dejounte Murray Could Miss Second Consecutive Game Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He was a late scratch on Sunday versus Toronto due to right hamstring tightness, and the issue might now keep him off the court for a second consecutive contest. Prior to last weekend, Murray had featured in every game this season. Bogdan Bogdanovic started in his absence and put in a very productive performance. He's one of the best bench players in the league, and a starter's role always makes Bogdanovic even more attractive as an addition to fantasy squads.

Sat Jan 1316:58Dejounte Murray Could Miss Saturday's Game
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Murray was questionable heading into Wednesday's overtime win over the Philadelphia 76ers because of right hamstring tightness. However, his left hamstring is now giving him trouble, although it's hard to imagine it costing him a game. But these things happen, so if Murray can't suit up for this one, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Trent Forrest might move into the starting lineup. Either way, Bogdanovic and Forrest will benefit, regardless of their role. At the same time, Murray's absence will mean even more scoring chances for Trae Young and Jalen Johnson, specifically.

Wed Nov 22 202318:47Dejounte Murray Cleared To Play Wednesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (quad) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets. Murray surprisingly popped up Atlanta's injury report on Wednesday afternoon due to a right quadriceps contusion, but he's ready to roll for game action as the team finishes up a four-game homestand before embarking on a five-game road trip beginning on Saturday against the Wizards in Washington. The 27-year-old All-Star is providing third-round fantasy value in 12-team 9-category leagues, averaging 21.8 points, 5.4 assists, 2.4 triples, and 1.5 swipes alongside Trae Young in the dynamic Hawks backcourt this season. Deploy Murray as you normally would in season-long leagues, after he scored 28 points on Tuesday in a game where defense was optional against the Indiana Pacers.

Fri Oct 20 202323:33DeJounte Murray Scores 12 Points Against Philly
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray had 12 points in Friday's loss to Philadelphia. He added four assists and one steal. Murray struggled shooting in this one, mostly from deep, going 1-for-6 from behind the three-point line. However, despite the mediocre showing, the 27-year-old enters the season as a coveted fantasy option. There are things he doesn't do well. On the other hand, Murray can contribute in many areas, especially on the defensive end. That said, while Murray probably won't match the level of production he had in his final year with the Spurs, he has All-Star upside, without a doubt.

Fri Jul 7 202311:55Dejounte Murray Signs Four-Year Extension
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray will sign a four-year extension with the team worth $120 million. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, his deal will also include a player's option, and the base salary is worth $111 million. His name was floated in trade rumors this year, but after signing an extension, he can't be traded for another six months. His fantasy value should remain quite high as he was already a top 50 player and with another year alongside Trae Young, he could grow even more with Quin Snyder coaching the team.

Wed Jul 5 202323:04Hawks Confident Dejounte Murray Extension Will Happen
According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo, the Hawks are optimistic that a contract extension for guard Dejounte Murray will happen. The 26-year-old averaged 20.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in his first season in Atlanta. Unfortunately, the Hawks struggled at times, leading many to believe Murray would be on his way out. While that still could happen, there is time to work on a new deal, considering he has one year remaining on his current contract. That said, although Murray's fantasy ceiling was arguably higher in San Antonio, he's at least a top-25 option in all formats heading into the 2023-24 campaign. That shouldn't change for at least a few more seasons, no matter where he ends up.

Mon Apr 24 202317:25Dejounte Murray Suspended For Game 5
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray has been suspended for the upcoming Game 5 matchup against the Boston Celtics. The NBA recently opened an investigation after Murray made contact with official Gediminas Petraitis as he was walking off the court last game. The league has decided to suspend Murray for Game 5, which could be their last game with the Hawks down 3-1 in the series. The loss of Murray means that Bogdan Bogdanovic will likely move into the starting five. He'll have increased fantasy value in the starting unit, but it also means Trae Young will do more ball handling in Game 5.

Mon Apr 24 202308:45Dejounte Murray Under NBA Investigation
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray could be in hot water after the NBA opened an investigation regarding his actions at the end of Sunday's Game 4 against Boston. Murray was seen making contact with official Gediminas Petraitis as he was walking off the court. A suspension for the incident is a real possibility for Murray, who had 23 points in Sunday's 129-121 loss and is averaging an impressive 25-7-6 line in the series. His absence would be a big blow for the Hawks, who have already struggled to stay competitive in the matchup and face elimination in Tuesday's Game 5.

Wed Apr 19 202314:58Dejounte Murray Nails Seven Triples In Game 2
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray led the team with 29 points and made seven attempts from deep in Tuesday's Game 2 loss against Boston. It was a great performance from downtown, but Murray shot only 11-for-24 overall from the field and the Hawks again struggled to hang with Boston. The versatile guard completed his line with six rebounds, six assists and four steals in 40 minutes. Murray went a horrible 0-for-6 with the three-ball in Game 1, but he is still averaging a team-high 26.5 points in the playoffs. With Trae Young struggling and shooting just 35 percent across the first two games, the Hawks clearly need even more from Murray to avoid getting swept in the series.

Tue Apr 11 202310:03Dejounte Murray Available Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (ankle) will be back in action Tuesday against Miami after getting rested for the regular-season finale Sunday versus Boston. He was officially out with left ankle soreness, so Murray's health status deserves to be monitored, but he is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's big play-in game. Murray has just completed his first regular season with the Hawks, averaging 20.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists with 1.5 steals and a career-high 45.4 shooting from the field. He posted 18.5 points with 4.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.8 steals in four regular-season meetings with Miami.

Sat Apr 8 202322:13Dejounte Murray Ruled Out Versus Boston
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (ankle) won't suit up against the Celtics. Trae Young (groin) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) are out as well, so the Hawks will have to go deep into the bench. As a result, Aaron Holiday, AJ Griffin, Vit Krejci, and Garrison Mathews should all see enough work to warrant DFS consideration. However, whoever starts should be the preferred fantasy option.
