With Tony Parker (back) out of action, Murray is the obvious candidate to move
into the starting lineup, and he’ll have an opportunity to see increased minutes
in a matchup with Russell Westbrook. The rookie out of Washington has been in
and out of the rotation (mostly out) over the last month, but he showed a few
flashes of promise earlier in the year. Perhaps most notable was a 24-point
effort in a win over the Nuggets on Jan. 19, followed by a 14-point, five-assist
performance in a win over Cleveland two nights later.
