Top Pelicans News

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Probable for Tuesday

    Jones (hip/back) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

    This is an expected injury designation, as Jones was able to practice in full Monday after missing Saturday's game versus Portland. If he gets through warmups without any setbacks, he'll likely be right back in the starting lineup, with Trey Murphy moving to the bench.

  • Pelicans' Larry Nance: Not listed on injury report

    Nance (illness) isn't listed on the Pelicans' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

    Nance and Herbert Jones (back/hip) are expected to play after missing Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers. In six March appearances, Nance has averaged 6.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 22.0 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Dyson Daniels: Returns to practice

    Daniels (knee) was able to go through a full practice Monday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Despite Daniels' availability Monday, coach Willie Green stressed that the Pelicans will continue to be cautious with the guard. Based on Green's comments, it's likely that Daniels won't return to action until at least March 26 when the Pelicans return home to face the Thunder.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Goes through practice

    Jones (hip) was able to go through a full practice Monday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Jones didn't play Saturday against Portland after tweaking his hip and back after a fall during Friday's win over the Clippers. It sounds like he's trending in the right direction for Tuesday against the Nets, but there should be more clarity when the Pelicans release their injury report Monday evening.

  • Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Leads team with 30 points

    McCollum chipped in 30 points (12-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

    McCollum led the way for the Pelicans, scoring at least 30 points for the first time in over six weeks. New Orleans has now won six of their past seven games, placing them 1.5 games behind the Clippers in the race for the fourth seed. A top-50 player this season, McCollum should be able to maintain solid value for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Pelicans' Naji Marshall: Solid performance Saturday

    Marshall racked up 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

    With Herbert Jones (hip) and Larry Nance (illness) out, Marshall was able to chip in across the board, playing a key role off the bench once again. He has been a top-120 player over the past two weeks, despite averaging just 19.8 minutes per night. While he is not a must-roster player, he is doing enough to be considered a pickup in deeper formats.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Drops 20 points in spot start

    Murphy racked up 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    Murphy moved into the starting lineup, replacing Herbert Jones who was ruled out due to a back injury. Jones suffered the injury in Friday's win over the Clippers after taking a hard fall. While Murphy should be rostered in all formats, he could see a small bump should Jones be forced to miss more time moving forward.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Starting against Portland

    Murphy will start Saturday's game against Portland, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    This is an expected move with Herbert Jones (back) out of the lineup. As a starter this season, Murphy holds averages of 14.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 3.1 three-pointers.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Out against Portland

    Jones (hip/back) will not play Saturday against Portland, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Jones is a bit shaken up after a scary fall during Friday's win versus the Clippers. He was able to carry on in that game, but he's experiencing soreness Saturday and will be day-to-day going forward. Trey Murphy is likely to benefit the most from a fantasy perspective in Jones' absence.

  • Pelicans' Larry Nance: Won't play against Portland

    Nance is out for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a non-COVID illness.

    Nance will miss his first game since Feb. 2 on Saturday due to an illness. Jonas Valanciunas, Cody Zeller and Naji Marshall are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Nance's next chance to suit up is Tuesday's matchup with Brooklyn.

  • Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Questionable against Portland

    Jones is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Trail Blazers due to a lower back/hip contusion.

    Jones is in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 2 on Saturday due to a lower back/hip injury. If Jones is ruled out, Trey Murphy will likely replace him in the starting lineup.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Drops nine points in 15 minutes

    Alvarado totaled nine points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and one steal in 15 minutes during Friday's 112-104 win over the Clippers.

    Alvarado scored fewer than 10 points for the seventh straight game, continuing to serve as a depth piece off the bench. He is well outside the top 200 in standard fantasy leagues this season, providing little outside of his 1.1 steals per game. Short of being a steals specialist, Alvarado can be left on waivers in all competitive formats.

  • Pelicans' Jonas Valanciunas: Muted effort in win

    Valanciunas amassed four points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and six rebounds across 18 minutes during Friday's 112-104 win over the Clippers.

    Valanciunas was woeful in the loss, scoring just four points in 18 minutes. He has now scored in single digits in six of the past eight games, playing limited minutes despite remaining in the starting lineup. The Pelicans are rolling right now, having won five of their past six games. As long as his reduced role continues, Valacinuas can be dropped in shallow fantasy formats.
