Jamal Murray catches fire on Friday in Nuggets' blowout win
Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray was on fire again during a 146-114 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, going 13-for-18 shooting from the field for 31 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 three-pointers in 34 minutes.
What It Means:
Murray has now scored at least 31 points in two of his last three games, and in those three he is averaging 27 points per game. The second-year guard has really started to play well after a slow start to the month, and he should be owned in most fantasy formats.
Our early models for Sunday project Murray for 17.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $4,900 against the Los Angeles Lakers.
