Rotowire
Murray amassed 43 points (16-29 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Monday's 127-114 win over Minnesota.
It was the seventh time in the 27-year-old point guard's career that he's scored 40 or more points during a regular-season contest, and three of those performances have come in 2025 -- once each in January and February toward the end of last season, and then Monday's eruption. He's also hit for 40-plus six times in the playoffs. Murray is off to a flying start to 2025-26, averaging 30.3 points, 6.0 assists, 5.0 boards, 3.0 threes and 1.3 steals through three games while shooting 53.0 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from three-point range, both of which would be career highs.

Murray got off to an excellent start in the opener. Although Denver's fortunes are often dictated by Nikola Jokic's success, Murray's ability to distribute the ball is equally important for Denver's long-term outlook. The veteran's above-average shot volume (20 attempts) was also encouraging, as his seasonal averages have ranged from 15 to 16 attempts per game.

Murray logged 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 FT, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 win over the Raptors.
Murray's shot warmed up after a tepid outing in the season opener, sinking three three-pointers in six attempts beyond the arc. Bruce Brown's return to the team will lend support to Murray, who was overworked last season after logging the highest minute-per-game average of his career. Brown's presence will keep Murray fresh down the stretch, reserving his best stuff for critical moments in close games.
