2025 Fantasy Outlook
A mid-season ankle injury and a significant shoulder injury in March cut Murphy's fourth season in the NBA short, but it was his best. He took on a higher usage rate than ever before, showing off his potential to be an efficient, two-way playmaker in a leading role. In his 35.0 minutes per game, the forward averaged 21.2 points and 3.0 threes on 45/36/89 shooting, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks. The biggest developments in his game were passing and self-creation, especially in terms of driving to the basket off the dribble and drawing defenders with his dunk-contest athleticism. That sort of usage could still be available for Murphy again this season. Brandon Ingram was traded to the Raptors and Dejounte Murray is recovering from a torn Achilles. Jordan Poole was added in the swap that sent CJ McCollum to the Wizards as the Pels shook up their roster. How much can we trust Zion Williamson to stay healthy? This team lacks depth in trustworthy offensive talent. There will be plenty of situations where Murphy has to drive playmaking, whether that be in the flow of a normal game or due to injuries to teammates. Maybe the situation is still more murky than optimists would like, but Murphy finished in the top-40 last season in per-game production in 8-category formats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $112 million contract extension with the Pelicans in October of 2024. 
Scores 18 points in loss
Murphy recorded 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one turnover across 23 minutes of Thursday's 132-125 preseason loss to Orlando.
ANALYSIS
Murphy will be in high demand in fantasy drafts this season after showing some serious upside during the 2024-25 regular season -- he averaged 21.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals across 35.0 minutes per game in 53 appearances. Even with the Pelicans getting some healthy bodies back this season, Murphy is likely to command a ton of looks in this offense.

2021
Murphy alternated between the starting unit and the bench in 2023-24. While his efficiency decreased, the third-year wing delivered a career-best season statistically. Across 57 regular-season appearances and 23 starts, Murphy averaged career-high marks in points (14.8), rebounds (4.9) and assists (2.2) per game while also putting up a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 29.6 minutes. That kind of production is solid across any fantasy format, and Murphy should be a reliable contributor once again. Even though there's no clear path to the starting lineup unless one of CJ McCollum, Brandon Ingram or Dejounte Murray get injured, Murphy should log enough minutes to make his presence count off the bench. Murphy is particularly valuable in category-based leagues, as he doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. He can contribute across the five major categories while shooting the ball at an accurate clip, including from three, where he's made at least 38 percent of his attempts in his three years in the league. Fantasy managers would be wise to wait until the second half of their drafts to target Murphy, but he's a player who could deliver excellent value related to his APD if he continues the upward trajectory he's shown in the last two seasons.
