Sun Oct 31 2021 | 09:16 | Dejounte Murray Leads Team With 23 Points |
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray scored a team-high 23 points as the squad took down the champs in Milwaukee on Saturday. He went 9-for-17 from the floor in a 102-93 win with a 1-for-3 record from downtown. Murray, who was 4-for-5 at the charity stripe, came one assist short of a double-double and added five rebounds to his line with three steals and two turnovers in 37 minutes. The 25-year-old now finds himself on a run of three consecutive games with 20-plus points. The streak started with a triple-double and also includes a double-double. Murray gets a perfect matchup on Monday to continue the steak as the Spurs visit Indiana. The Pacers have allowed the third-most points in the league to opposing point guards this season. |

Fri Oct 29 2021 | 08:43 | Dejounte Murray Just Misses A Second Consecutive Triple-Double |
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray came very close to posting a second consecutive triple-double on Thursday, ending a 104-99 loss to Dallas with 23 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes. He shot 10-for-17 from the field with a 3-for-5 record from three-point range. The 25-year-old also notched one steal and had two turnovers in 36 minutes. It's a new era in San Antonio and Murray is running the show, having averaged a 17-9-9 line so far. He'll meet Milwaukee next in what looks like a very good matchup. The Bucks haven't done great defensively so far and are near the top of the league in pace. |

Wed Oct 27 2021 | 06:15 | Dejounte Murray Notches Fifth Career Triple-Double |
With the help of five overtime minutes and a closer-than-expected contest, San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray delighted the home crowd and fantasy managers with his fifth career triple-double. Across 40 minutes, the 25-year old dropped 21 points, 15 assists, 12 rebounds, two blocks, and two steals in a 125-121 loss. Unfortunately, Murray wasn't particularly efficient shooting the ball (9-for-24) because it could've turned a big night into a lets-lead-SportsCenter-with-this performance. Still, the 2016 first-round pick is filling up the box score this year, averaging 15.3 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, and 2.3 steals per game. As a result, Murray is a buy-high candidate right now before the price truly skyrockets for the rest of the year. |

Sun Oct 24 2021 | 02:56 | Dejounte Murray Flirts With Triple-Double Against Bucks |
San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray was held largely in check during Saturday's defeat to Milwaukee, but he nearly delivered a brilliant performance over his 34 minutes. Murray logged 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, doing so all without committing a turnover. Shot attempts have fluctuated wildly for the Spurs in the early portion of the year, but Murray's multi-category contributions are as reliable as they come for a player blossoming into the must-roster tier. His next outing comes Tuesday against the Lakers and point guard Russell Westbrook, whose defensive rating (110) early in the season appears to create an exploitable DFS matchup. |

Sat Oct 23 2021 | 10:08 | Dejounte Murray Produces Well-Rounded Line |
San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray struggled with his shot but still managed to leave his mark on the game in Friday's loss to the Nuggets. Murray shot just 7 of 18 en route to 15 points but chipped in nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a three-pointer. Murray has failed to exceed 40 percent shooting in both contests but has taken at least 17 shots while handing out no fewer than six assists. The 25-year-old looks poised to return early-round value on the strength of increased usage on offense and his usual defensive excellence. |
