Trey Murphy contributes 16 points off the bench
Trey Murphy III shot 6-of-13 from the field and 1-of-2 from the foul line in Monday’s 127-117 win over the Kings, accumulating 16 points, two rebounds, one assist, one block, and three 3-pointers in 30 minutes.
Advice: Appearing in his second game of the season, Murphy logged 30 minutes off the bench in Sacramento. Being able to take on that workload, especially after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, is a positive development for Murphy. The question is whether or not he’ll eventually replace Herb Jones in the starting lineup. Regardless of what happens there, both will get the minutes needed to be of value to fantasy managers. Murphy is unlikely to finish the season ranked where he currently is (15th, per
Basketball Monster), but he will be a solid player for category league managers to have rostered. Next up for Murphy and the Pelicans is a semifinal matchup with the Suns or Lakers on Thursday in Las Vegas.
