Dejounte Murray Season Outlook: Proven Backcourt Playmaking in New Orleans

Dejounte Murray enters his 10th NBA season firmly established as a primary backcourt initiator for New Orleans. Despite being held out on October 8 during preseason action, our projections forecast 70 games of high-end playmaking and perimeter defense. Drafted in the mid rounds with an ADP around 74, Murray offers substantial value as an all-around contributor capable of outperforming his draft slot.

Our models project Murray for 34.5 fantasy points and 30.8 minutes per game. We anticipate reliable cross-category production highlighted by 16.9 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.6 steals per contest, translating to nearly 1,180 total points over his 70 projected appearances. While his 44.3% field-goal percentage tempers elite scoring efficiency, his steady playmaking and defensive peripherals anchor a sturdy floor.

Murray commands clear backcourt priority alongside co-star Zion Williamson in the Pelicans' rotation. Fantasy managers have demonstrated complete faith, pushing his roster rate to 100%. Expect Murray to comfortably return mid-round fantasy value as a high-volume guard.
