This season Murphy is averaging 7.2 Rebounds & Assists. That’s actually in line with his 7.1 average from last season. This year he’s surpassed 7.2 Rebounds & Assists in just 2 of his 9 games.
My projections have him projected for 7.5 Rebounds & Assists, and that’s with Brandon Ingram, Yves Missi and Herb Jones projected in (all are questionable).
It would be big blow if Missi missed this game as he’s done a good job soaking up rebounds, so you could certainly wait for news before jumping on this. I’m playing this for half a unit given the uncertainty of the roster, but even with the questionable tags I like lower than 9.5 given his historic averages.

Through five games this season, Murray is averaging a 26 PRA. Last season with the Hawks, Murray averaged a 34.2 PRA for additional context. His biggest issue so far this season has been his shooting, where he's shooting just 27.2% from the field. All his other metrics look in line with his career numbers, but his form appears to be rusty since coming back from injury.
The biggest variable here are the statuses of Brandon Ingram, Herb Jones and Yves Missi who are all questionable. Ingram and Jones both put in full walkthroughs on Wednesday and Coach Green is "hopeful" both can play. If they do, that will help take away some of the usage from Murray. If you prefer to take a wait-and-see approach, I can understand.
The matchup is nothing special as the Suns have a below average defense and are now without Kevin Durant and Jusuf Nurkic. But given Murray's current form and the potential for the Pelicans to have one or both of Ingram and Jones back on Thursday, I'll take lower than 35.5 PRA.
