New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets with bilateral patellar tendinopathy, according to the NBA’s official injury report. Murphy III could miss his second game in a row with the knee issue after he sat out against the Golden State Warriors on Monday. Murphy III last played in Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Clippers when he scored 26 points and grabbed seven rebounds with three assists and a steal. Murphy III is averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game this season on 46.5 percent shooting from the field. The talented shooter is shooting 37.7 percent from beyond the arc this season. He is a good source of points, three-pointers, and shooting percentage when healthy, and fantasy managers will hope to have him in the lineup on Wednesday night.–Brian Buckey – RotoBaller
