New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is now questionable for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. After not appearing on the team's initial injury report, Williamson has popped up on an updated report with a left foot bone contusion. With Herbert Jones (groin) also questionable, the Pelicans could be very shorthanded in the frontcourt on Wednesday. The sharpshooting Trey Murphy III may be in line for a starting nod at power forward in New Orleans' first unit, and in four games without Williamson in 2023-24, Murphy is averaging a strong 18.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 three-pointers, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals. Larry Nance Jr. and Naji Marshall could also soak up more playing time in this case.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. Murray missed Sunday's one-point win over the Toronto Raptors due to tightness in his right hamstring, but he's good to go on Tuesday. The 27-year-old star playmaker is tallying 21.4 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 threes, and 1.3 steals per game and needs to be inserted in all season-long fantasy lineups. Murray's return should push Bogdan Bogdanovic back to his sixth-man role against the Lakers.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He was a late scratch on Sunday versus Toronto due to right hamstring tightness, and the issue might now keep him off the court for a second consecutive contest. Prior to last weekend, Murray had featured in every game this season. Bogdan Bogdanovic started in his absence and put in a very productive performance. He's one of the best bench players in the league, and a starter's role always makes Bogdanovic even more attractive as an addition to fantasy squads.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (quad) will only need to miss one game for a quad contusion after he was listed as probable for the team's game on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. He missed their last game against the Mavericks on Saturday and the Pelicans still put up a 10-point win. Now, Williamson returns along with Trey Murphy III (knee), CJ McCollum (ankle), and Brandon Ingram (Achilles). Williamson's averages are down across the board so far this season, but he's been showing flashes of returning to the level that everyone once expected. The biggest plus for him this year is that he's been healthier than in recent seasons.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) and Trey Murphy III (knee) have both been tagged as probable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. Both play big roles in the team's offensive success on both the starting and reserve units. McCollum and Murphy were forced to miss their last game against the Mavericks on Saturday and the team still managed to pull out a 10-point win. Now, the entire starting five is expected to play with Murphy leading the bench squad against a depleted Mavericks team that will likely be without Luka Doncic (ankle). Both McCollum and Murphy are startable players in all fantasy formats and league sizes right now.
