Denver Nuggets Fantasy Spin

Jamal Murray scored 15 points (7-of-14 FGs) on Thursday, adding four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one 3-pointer in 26 minutes against Washington. The two blocks tied a season-high for Murray, who didn't have any blocks in his previous 11 games. He finds himself inside the top-75 in 9-category leagues over the last two weeks, averaging 16.0 points, 3.2 boards, 3.0 dimes and 1.8 triples per game in that time frame. The Nuggets extremely favorable schedule to round out the season will keep Murray busy for his fantasy owners.

New York Knicks Fantasy Spin

DeAndre Jordan struggled in 18 minutes of action Wednesday with six points, five assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block. His recent spurt of assists continued tonight, and it wasn't a total loss with the defensive stats providing a lift for fantasy owners. New York simply had no reason to put him back into a blowout tonight, so they let Mitchell Robinson run wild with 30 minutes off the bench. Jordan draws another tough matchup vs. Denver on Friday, before another date he should have circled -- the Clippers visit MSG on Sunday.
