New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The superstar forward did the game-winner during Friday's game. Sadly, Williamson continues dealing with a left foot issue that has forced him to miss three of the last six games. If Williamson sits, Naji Marshall and Trey Murphy III should be asked to help pick up the slack. Between the two, Murphy is the better streaming choice with additional playing time.
According to Yahoo's Jake Fischer, speaking to Marc Stein on his podcast, the Jazz made an offer for Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. The former Spur has been a topic of trade rumblings, and the rumors continue to intensify heading to the deadline. Of course, the Lakers are another team that has expressed interest in acquiring the 27-year-old. However, it appears there's a chance he won't be on the Hawks' roster after the trade deadline. Murray has averaged a career-high 21.5 points with 5.2 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals this season. That said, he'll remain a productive fantasy option wherever he ends up moving ahead.
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (back) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is good news after Murray was listed as questionable coming into this game due to back issues. Despite that, Murray will suit up and there is no word on Murray being restricted. The assumption is that Murray is going to have his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable putting Murray back in their lineups on Saturday.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (groin) has been tagged as questionable for their Friday night contest against the San Antonio Spurs. If he, Larry Nance Jr. (ankle), and Zion Williamson (foot) all end up getting ruled out, the front court could be very thin. As of right now, all three are questionable, so the streaming options for this game are murky, at best, until we get an update before tipoff. Jones wasn't able to play in their last game on Wednesday, so his status seems to truly be up in the air. If he's unable to suit up while Williamson and Nance can't play as well, Trey Murphy III and Dyson Daniels should both be quality streaming options.
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) has been marked as questionable on the team's injury report leading up to their Friday night game against the San Antonio Spurs. Williamson was unable to play in their last game with the same left foot bone contusion and is now in danger of missing his second consecutive contest. The 23-year-old hasn't been forced to miss back-to-back games all season, which has been a refreshing trend after his injury-plagued start to his NBA career. If he's unable to suit up in this one, Trey Murphy III would likely move into the starting five again unless Herbert Jones (adductor) can play. Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) could also receive some extra minutes if he's cleared, otherwise there'd be some more Dyson Daniels and Naji Marshall minutes.
