Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Wins MVP honors in Rising Stars Challenge

Murray finished with 36 points (13-19 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 1-1 FT) while posting 11 assists, three rebounds and a steal in Friday's Rising Stars Challenge Game.

Analysis:

Murray secured MVP honors in the game, as his sensational February continues. He is averaging 12.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in nine games in February, taking advantage of the injury to Emmanuel Mudiay (back). When Mudiay is healthy then Murray is likely to see his minutes cut, and his fantasy appeal decrease.
