New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The star forward suffered a left knee injury during the third quarter of this game. He was putting minimal pressure on his knee and was helped to the locker room. This is concerning, but fantasy managers will have to wait for more updates. The expectation is that the organization will have Ingram undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury. In the meantime, Jordan Hawkins and Trey Murphy III should see additional playing time.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back, hip) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Nets. The versatile 25-year-old has been upgraded from probable to available. Jones makes a return after missing one game with a hip and lower back contusion. He should take on his normal role as a starter, pushing Trey Murphy III to the bench. However, Murphy III should still see plenty of action, and both players look to be set up for success on Tuesday as good three-point shooters -- opposing players are hitting 37.6 percent from deep against Brooklyn, which is the fifth-highest percentage in the league.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back, hip) is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday versus Brooklyn, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Jones was injured against the Clippers on Friday and couldn't play the following day versus Portland due to a lower back and hip contusion. Trey Murphy III filled in for him as a starter. Jones is a guy who provides a little bit of everything to fantasy managers, but he's been off his game offensively this month, averaging only 7.3 points while his season average stands at 11.0. Murphy III, on the other hand, is having a great month on the attacking front, posting 20.7 points per game, and he will still have plenty of fantasy value, as the 23-year-old gets a nice chunk of minutes despite his bench role in New Orleans.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (back/hip) has been downgraded from questionable to out after taking what looked like a pretty bad fall during their game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Jones suffered both a hip and back contusion which will cause him to miss at least one game, but the fact that he was questionable at first is a good sign that he could return for their next contest. In his place, Trey Murphy III will likely be the one to take over the starting spot while Larry Nance Jr. and Naji Marshall get some extra opportunities off of the bench. Jones' status should be monitored leading up to their next game against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (calf) will play on Sunday against the Pelicans. The former Spur had 41 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and two steals on Friday night in the narrow win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But he was a late addition to the injury report because of a calf contusion, although fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. As always, Murray should be featured in all fantasy lineups.
