Jamal Murray struggles shooting but hands out six dimes

Jamal Murray
PG, Denver Nuggets

Jamal Murray scored 14 points on 4-of-14 shooting with five rebounds, six assists, a steal and three 3-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Blazers.

Murray's streaky shooting was on the bad end today, but he was still able to create plays for teammates and hit triples for fantasy owners. Even though there are a ton of mouths to feed in Denver, Murray will be one of the first in line, so owners need not worry.

Fantasy News & NBA Updates

Gordon Hayward
SF, Boston Celtics

ESPN's Tim Bontemps reports Gordon Hayward will likely pick up his 2020-21 $34M player option.

This is a no-brainer considering the amount of money on the line. Despite coming off his best season since joining the Celtics, Hayward also built up a bit of a reputation for being injury prone this year. He missed 19 games in the truncated regular season, then hurt his ankle in the bubble and missed two playoff series. Hayward finished the season as the 44th ranked overall player in 9-cat leagues, averaging 17.3 points on an incredibly efficient 50.2% from the field, along with 1.5 threes, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists. His injury history and playoff performance mean that were he to opt out now there is little chance he'd be able to sign a new deal worth anywhere close to $30M per year, but he'll continue to be a solid fantasy option next year in all formats.

Joel Embiid
C, Philadelphia Sixers

Tyronn Lue will interview for the Sixers' head coaching position this Tuesday, reports Keith Pompey.

Pompey further reported a few behind-the-scenes details about the Sixers' star players. He wrote that Joel Embiid has apparently signed off on the front office hiring Mike D'Antoni as the next head coach. This supports the reporting that D'Antoni is the heavy front-runner for the job. Pompey also slipped in confirmation that Embiid and Ben Simmons have struggled to get along and don't see eye to eye.

Kemba Walker
PG, Boston Celtics

Kemba Walker dropped 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting, including three treys, adding two rebounds and five assists on Sunday as the Celtics fell to the Heat 113-125 in Game 6.

Walker scored as usual but his being a defensive liability was on display in key mismatches at points in the game. He and the rest of the Celtics’ young core of players will now have to regroup and hopefully, come back hungrier for that ever-elusive and highly-coveted NBA title.

Marcus Smart
PG, Boston Celtics

Marcus Smart led the Celtics with four 3-pointers made en route to his 20 points on 8-of-22 shooting in Sunday’s Game 6 loss to the Heat.

Smart, as expected, was a beast on both ends of the floor. He chipped in eight rebounds, two assists and two steals, but his valiant effort was not enough to push his team over the top and force a Game 7. He played extremely well in the playoffs and in this series in particular, emerging as more of a two-way threat than just a defensive stopper.

Jaylen Brown
SG, Boston Celtics

Jaylen Brown played well in Sunday's Game 6 loss to the Heat, tallying a team-high 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting.

Brown left it all on the line, adding eight boards, three treys, four dimes and three steals to the stat sheet in what was a heartbreaking loss to the fifth-seed in the East. The Celtics will now have to take a breath, leave the bubble to go home to their families and regroup. Regardless of tonight's end result, the Celtics are a legitimate ECF contender for years to come.
