- Jamal Murray has stepped up in a big way for the Denver Nuggets this season, especially during the stretches when Nikola Jokic has had to miss time.
- Murray is averaging 25.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 7.6 assists per game, and has been tying his career-best 3-point shooting percentage (42.5%) on a career-high 7.4 attempts per game.
- With the Nuggets losing some of their perimeter shooting with the trade of Michael Porter Jr., Murray has filled that void and carried the team, showcasing his ability to be a dominant scoring threat and playmaker.
