New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (calf) will play against Indiana on Wednesday. Following a trip to New York on Tuesday, the Pelicans complete a back-to-back, and Murphy III was initially listed as questionable for the game with a left calf contusion. Murphy III led all scorers with 26 points against the Knicks on Tuesday, but CJ McCollum's (ankle) return means he will have to settle for a smaller role in Wednesday's game.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers. He has been upgraded to available after initially being questionable for the matchup. McCollum has missed two games with a left ankle sprain. His return comes in a great spot because Pacers games tend to be very high-scoring affairs, as the team plays with the league's highest pace.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) will play against Indiana on Wednesday. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game after injuring his right ankle on Tuesday versus the Knicks. Ingram was hurt early in the game but still came through with 24 points in 34 minutes, adding six rebounds, five assists, and two blocks with solid shooting, which is a sign that he wasn't bothered too much by the injury.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (foot) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers. He's been troubled by a left foot problem but will make a seventh consecutive appearance. This is a dream matchup against a pacy team, and Williamson should do plenty of damage. He has upped his averages to 24.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 6.7 assists this month.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (calf) is now questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. A left calf contusion has made Murphy a late addition to the injury report, clouding his availability for the second end of New Orleans' back-to-back. Considering the sharpshooting wing and a host of Pelicans stars are questionable Wednesday, Jonas Valanciunas and Herbert Jones could be focal points. Naji Marshall and Jordan Hawkins are names to watch in fantasy basketball based on who is active for the Pels in an uptempo environment against the NBA's top scoring offense and a matchup that features the second-highest implied point total (237.5) on Wednesday's six-game slate.
