Jamal Murray will return to Nuggets' starting lineup Saturday
Denver Nuggets shooting guard Jamal Murray will return to the starting lineup on Saturday versus the New Orleans Pelicans after being held out of Thursday's lineup for "a small violation of team rules."
Monte Morris drew the start over Murray in an unexpected move Thursday, but it was a one-game punishment. He finished with 14 points (4-of-10 field goals, 3-of-6 3-pointers, 3-of-3 free throws), 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, and 1 turnover in 23.1 minutes off the bench.
Murray is averaging 30.1 FanDuel points through 15 games. numberFire's models project him for 17.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.3 triples per contest over the rest of the year.
