Pelicans signed C Hunter Dickinson.
Dickinson appeared in five games with the Pelicans as a two-way player last year. Terms of his new deal with New Orleans weren’t disclosed. Dickinson averaged 17.6 points, 10.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 30.3 minutes per game in the G league last season. Unless he’s able to carve out a more signifi...
PelicansJeremiah Fears puts up 16 Points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, three steals, and two 3-pointers in 20 minutes against the Mavericks.
Jeremiah Fears looks to grow upon what he did in his rookie season with the Pelicans. Notably, he had five assists to two turnovers which is an encouraging sign. If he hadn’t reclassified when he was in high school, he would be a rookie this season. Fears could’ve easily been in the same tier as the...
Dejounte Murray (toe) missed practice on Monday.
Murray has missed multiple practices and a preseason game with this toe injury, though head coach Jamahl Mosely said previously it was just precautionary. At this point, there’s no reason to think Murray will miss the season opener, and if he continues to miss preseason games, Jeremiah Fears will co...
Rod WalkerJordan Poole recorded 14 points (4-of-5 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), one rebound, two assists and three three-pointers in Thursday’s exhibition against the Heat.
Poole appeared in only 39 games last season, and his chances of earning consistent rotation minutes in 2026-27 don’t look good. That said, he shot the ball well in Miami, knocking down three of his four three-point attempts. You gain little by using a draft pick on Poole in most fantasy leagues, but...
Derik Queen amassed five points (2-of-3 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in Thursday’s exhibition against the Heat.
As of Thursday evening, Queen had a Yahoo! ADP of 85. That’s pretty high, especially for a player who isn’t guaranteed a starting role once the regular season begins. Yves Missi (11 points, nine rebounds), a superior defender, started at center in New Orleans’ two preseason games. First-year head co...
ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Bulls and Jordan Hawkins have agreed to a two-way contract.
Hawkins, who was traded to Memphis in early September after three underwhelming seasons in New Orleans, didn’t have to wait long for his next opportunity after being waived on October 2. He’ll join the Bulls on a two-way contract, and while that doesn’t offer fantasy value, it gives the former lotte...
Shams CharaniaMicah Peavy (ankle) will not be available when the Grizzlies open training camp on Tuesday.
Acquired from the Pelicans in early September, Peavy recently sprained his ankle. According to Grizzlies GM Zach Kleiman, it will be “a while” before the team gets to see the 2025 second-round pick on the court. Peavy’s absence won’t affect fantasy basketball, but it does mean one less wing competin...
Damichael ColeESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Pelicans and Saddiq Bey agreed to a three-year extension worth $55.5 million.
After missing the entire 2024-25 season recovering from a torn ACL, Bey had the most productive season of his NBA career to date. Starting 64 of the 72 games he played, the 6-foot-7 forward averaged 17.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.1 three-pointers while shooting 45.1 percent...
Shams CharaniaPelicans head coach Jamahl Mosley said during his introductory press conference that he hopes to use Zion Williamson in a variety of ways next season.
Mosley, who was fired by the Magic shortly after their ouster from the NBA Playoffs, was not unemployed for long, as the Pelicans decided to bring him on board. One of his tasks in New Orleans will be to help Williamson tap into his full potential. “He hasn’t even scratched the surface of things he ...
ESPNTrey Murphy (ankle) and Dejounte Murray (hand) are out for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.
Murphy and Murray remain sidelined for the Pelicans’ final game of the season. Jeremiah Fears has benefited most in terms of playing time and scoring opportunities, with Jordan Hawkins’ playing time also increasing off the bench.
NBA Injury ReportYves Missi (hand) is out for Friday’s game against the Celtics.
Missi remains out with a sprained right hand, freeing up additional minutes for Derik Queen. Queen started Tuesday’s win over the Jazz and nearly recorded a triple-double. The rookie should play plenty in New Orleans’ final two games of the season, regardless of Missi’s availability.
NBA Injury ReportKarlo Matković (back) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Celtics.
Matković has missed the Pelicans’ last four games with a lower back injury. With Yves Missi also out, Josh Oduro played 26 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Jazz. If Matković remains out, Oduro should once again play rotation minutes off the bench.
NBA Injury ReportHerb Jones (rest) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Celtics.
Despite being healthy, Jones was held out of Tuesday’s win over the Jazz. Jeremiah Fears moved into the lineup and had the best game of his rookie season, as he dropped 40 points. Fears may be the safer option for fantasy managers in active leagues, as the Pelicans have little incentive to play thei...
NBA Injury ReportDejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williamson and DeAndre Jordan will start Thursday’s game against the Pistons.
While Murray is good to go, the Pelicans will not have Trey Murphy for Thursday’s game. He has been replaced in the lineup by Jordan, who offers a little more muscle to deal with Jalen Duren.
NBA LineupsBryce McGowens (toe) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Raptors.
McGowens has a fractured small toe on his right foot, which may keep him out of multiple games. There may be additional minutes for Micah Peavy, but not enough to affect fantasy basketball.
NBA Injury ReportKevon Looney provided a boost off the bench with 18 points (5-of-7 FGs), three rebounds, two assists and four blocks against the Thunder on Wednesday.
Quinten Post got the first start of his career at center, but the experiment was short-lived. He played eight minutes in the first half and contributed two turnovers and three fouls. Looney ended up filling most of the center minutes and started the second half in place of Post. This was a new seaso...
