Murray spent time with Hardaway in San Diego, noting their contrasting shooting philosophies yet similar results. He values Hardaway’s present-focused practice and anticipates that the new guard’s gravity will open more comfortable looks for him and Jokic, potentially easing double-teams and facilitating efficient ball movement.

Murray’s 21 points, four rebounds, six assists season-line plus improved efficiency keeps him in the top echelon when healthy, though injury history makes his ADP volatile and pushes him into a high-upside, higher-risk tier.</summary>

Jamal Murray climbs 10 spots to 31, but the slide suggests he’ll miss a dozen games. Top-40 per-game upside remains if healthy, but total-season value will hinge on availability and how the Nuggets balance minutes for rest and playoff readiness.

Murray and Jokic form the Nuggets' core, with Jokic's extension decision shaping a season where Murray's usage and the supporting cast determine Denver's ability to return to the Finals.

Murray remains the scoring engine and playmaking spark plug, with the added shooting around him likely to unlock more off-ball opportunities and easier downhill drives, sustaining his fantasy top-tier status.
