Player Notes
March 17, 2010
Troy Murphy had another solid outing on Wednesday with 19 points, 15 rebounds and five assists, but the Pacers fell to LeBron and the Cavs 99-94.

Our View:Murphy picked up his fourth straight double-double and managed to drain 4-of-7 attempts from downtown in the game. He's been especially impressive in March, averaging over 15 points and 10 rebounds per game.
March 16, 2010
Troy Murphy stood out in Tuesday's 99-94 win over the Bobcats with 16 points, 13 rebounds and five assists.

March 14, 2010
Troy Murphy scored 14 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in Indiana's 98-94 loss to the Bucks on Sunday.

Our View:It was his second straight double-double. This is the first time since February 20 and 22 he has doubled up in back-to-back games.
March 12, 2010
Troy Murphy played hard in Friday's 122-103 loss at Boston, as he tallied 17 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals.

Our View:Murphy is performing pretty well right now, as he averages 18.3 points and 11.3 boards over his last three battles. He recorded his second double-double over that span tonight.
March 6, 2010
Troy Murphy hauled in 19 points and a game-high 16 boards in tonight's 113-105 loss at Phoenix. He also had one assist, two steals and two blocks.

Our View:Murphy picked up his second double-double in four appearances this month, and should remain a solid fantasy contributor at power forward.
March 2, 2010
Troy Murphy double-doubled in Tuesday's 122-99 loss to the Lakers with a team-high 17 points and 13 rebounds.

Our View:Murphy was 6-of-13 from the field and knocked down 2-of-4 from behind the arc on Tuesday. The double-double was his first in four games, but he remains a solid source of points and rebounds in fantasy leagues.
February 22, 2010
Troy Murphy picked up 10 points and a team-high 11 rebounds in Monday's 91-82 loss at Dallas. He also had three assists and a steal.

Our View:Murphy's scoring was down a little bit, but he recorded his fifth double-double of February. He was coming off an 18-point performance at Houston.
February 20, 2010
Troy Murphy played hard in tonight's 125-115 win at Houston, as he tallied 18 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, four steals and a block.

February 15, 2010
Troy Murphy is on the Cavs' radar, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Our View:Murphy is considered an alternative in case Cleveland cannot acquire Amar'e Stoudemire from Phoenix. Zydrunas Ilgauskas would be dealt to Indiana in part of a package involving Murphy.
February 9, 2010
Troy Murphy put up 18 points to compliment his game-high 16 rebounds in Tuesday's loss to the Bulls.

Our View:Murphy now has four straight double-doubles and his 18 points was a nice bounce back from the six he put up on Saturday against the Bucks.
February 5, 2010
Troy Murphy double-doubled in Friday's win over the Pistons with 12 points and ten rebounds.

Our View:Murphy hit a couple threes in the game as well (2-of-5) and collected his second straight double-double. He now has 24 boards in his last two games after collecting just 17 in his previous three combined.
February 2, 2010
Troy Murphy shined in Tuesday's win over the Raptors with 20 points and a team-high 14 rebounds.

Our View:Murphy picked up his first double-double in four games and reached the 20-point barrier for the first time since January 15th. Owners should be pleased.
January 31, 2010
Troy Murphy stood out for the Pacers on Sunday with 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists in their 117-102 loss to the Raptors.

Our View:All the trade rumors may be getting to Murphy as he has failed to record a double-double in his last three games. He had nine in his previous ten games, so once all this business is behind him, expect his production to go back up.
January 30, 2010
Troy Murphy is the Pacers player most likely to be traded before next month's deadline, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Our View:The Cavs are believed to be interested in the double-doubles machine. However, the Pacers do not want to accept any long-term contracts in exchange, and would like a fellow power forward. Those parameters would be very hard for many teams to meet.
January 27, 2010
Troy Murphy poured in 18 points in tonight's 118-96 home loss to the Lakers. He also had five rebounds, one assist and one steal.

Our View:Fantasy owners should be pleased with Murphy's performance, as he scored above his season average of 14 points per game. He only picked up 11 points in each of his previous two games as well.
January 22, 2010
Troy Murphy played hard in tonight's 105-93 win at Detroit, as he tallied 16 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.

Our View:Murphy is playing good basketball, as he collected his third straight double-double. He averages 14.6 points and 11 boards over the span.
January 19, 2010
With 12 rebounds and 11 points, Troy Murphy posted an empty double-double in Indiana's embarrassing 113-83 loss to the Heat on Tuesday.

Our View:it was his fifth double-double in his past seven games. Despite the sorry state of Indiana's basketball club, he remains a very reliable option in all formats.
January 15, 2010
Troy Murphy hauled in 21 points and a game-high 14 rebounds in tonight's 121-105 win at New Jersey. He also had three assists.

January 11, 2010
Troy Murphy played hard in tonight's 105-101 win over the Raptors, as he racked up 20 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks.

Our View:The star power forward performed up to expectations tonight, and picked up a double-double in back-to-back games. He looks to be OK following his bout with a sprained left ankle.
January 8, 2010
Troy Murphy, who's missed Indiana's last four games with a sprained left ankle, will return to action and start for the Pacers tonight, according to the Indianapolis Star's Mike Wells.

Our View:Murphy has struggled to stay healthy this season and hasn't been posting quite the same robust numbers as he did last year even when he is on the court, but he's still a must-play whenever active. Get him back into your lineup immediately.
January 5, 2010
Big man Troy Murphy (ankle) will be out again on Tuesday when Indiana takes on the Magic, according to the Orlando Sentinel. He is day-to-day.

Our View:He has yet to play in the new year. With Jeff Foster also out Tuesday, and Tyler Hansbrough looking very iffy, Dwight Howard could be in for a monster game.
