New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Heat. The 23-year-old logged 34 minutes in Thursday's 127-105 victory over Houston, tallying 27 points, three rebounds, and nine assists. If Williamson is sidelined on the second night of the back-to-back, Trey Murphy III or Naji Marshall are poised for increased minutes. Williamson maintains averages of 22.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 30.6 minutes per game this season.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) won't play on Thursday versus the Rockets. He has been under the weather, so he carried a questionable designation heading into this one. However, head coach Willie Green didn't rule out Ingram returning to the lineup for Friday's matchup against Miami. At any rate, CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson should see more scoring opportunities without Ingram in the lineup. At the same time, Trey Murphy III and Jordan Hawkins are expected to get plenty of attention from DFS participants.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) was absent from the team's practice on Wednesday, and his status remains uncertain for the Pelicans' game at home against the Rockets on Thursday. If Ingram is unable to play, Trey Murphy and Jordan Hawkins are the most probable candidates to see an uptick in minutes. Additionally, C.J. McCollum and Zion Williamson typically see the biggest increase in overall usage when Ingram is sidelined. This season, Ingram has been averaging 21.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in 33.4 minutes per game.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is getting converted from a two-way deal to a two-year standard NBA contract according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. The 23-year-old has appeared in 21 games for the Pelicans this year and has operated mostly in a third-string big-man role. He's averaging 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds across 10.0 minutes per game while shooting 51.7% from the floor and 36.4% from beyond the arc. He's not much of a fantasy asset at the moment, but he could become a streaming option if the Pelicans frontcourt experiences any injury issues down the stretch.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against Memphis. The 23-year-old continues to deal with a bone contusion in his left foot. He was in the lineup on Friday night in the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with a game-high 30 points and adding nine boards, five assists, one steal, and one block. But Williamson didn't suit up on Saturday versus Portland, allowing Trey Murphy III to enter the starting lineup and finish with a team-high 24 points. If Williamson can't go on Monday, Murphy should be starting in all fantasy scoring formats.
