Jamal Murray Absent From Injury Report In Stiff Draw
2 months agoDenver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (shin) is not on the injury report for Thursday's 2023 NBA Finals rematch versus the Miami Heat. After wrecking the Sacramento Kings for 32 points on 15 shots in 33 minutes during Wednesday's win, Murray's status is worth noting after head coach Michael Malone was unsure of his availability for the second half of Denver's back-to-back. The 27-year-old star guard is on a roll post-All-Star break, averaging 25.7 points, 5.7 dimes, 2.7 three-pointers on 57.1% shooting from beyond the arc, and 1.3 steals over his past three performances. The Heat are holding opposing point guards to the third-fewest fantasy points per game on DraftKings this season, and this contest puts two of the five slowest-paced offenses in the Association against each other. Even so, Murray is close to a matchup-proof option in season-long settings while he's on fire shooting the ball.
