Pelicans 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 ReportSaddiq Bey (rest) and Herb Jones (rest) are out for Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves.
Bey and Jones will remain out for the Pelicans’ final game of the season. Jordan Poole and Micah Peavy have moved into the starting lineup, with the former being the superior option for those in active fantasy leagues.
NBA Injury ReportDejounte Murray (hand) is out for Friday’s game against the Celtics.
Friday’s game will be the fourth that Murray has missed due to a hand injury. Jeremiah Fears, who set a franchise rookie record with 40 points on Tuesday, will once again figure prominently in the Pelicans’ rotation.
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...
