Jamal Murray blew up on Wednesday night, going off for 52 points, his second 40+ point game of the season. The Nuggets handily won both of those games, and in fact, they’ve never lost a game in which Murray reached 40 points.
He’s gone over 40 points on eight different occasions in his career, and the Nuggets are 8-0 in those games. Four of them have come during this calendar year, with the two this season plus two down the stretch last season. He also had a 41-point game in 2023, a 50-bomb in 2021, and twice passed 40 in 2018.
