Murray is averaging 21.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, and six assists on the season.

The Nuggets are currently fourth in the West with two games remaining. The Grizzlies are in a must-win situation following their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday if they hope to avoid the play-in tournament.
