New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is expected to play on Monday after he was listed as probable. The veteran wing missed the team's last matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, but he'll at least play them this time around. Ingram, who has dealt with several injury issues in the past, has only missed three games so far this year. He's seen a slight decrease in stats and usage this season which is in large part due to Zion Williamson being healthier. While they've contributed to more team success, it hasn't equated to more fantasy success at the moment. Either way, he's still a must-start player as he sits inside the top 80 in nine-category leagues.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Pelicans are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so hopefully these players will return after the day off. In the meantime, Herbert Jones should see a spike in usage with the Pelicans shorthanded on players. Also, Jose Alvarado, Dyson Daniels, and Naji Marshall should see more action on Saturday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson won't play on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. Williamson entered Friday's loss to the Denver Nuggets with a right quad contusion, so he wasn't a lock to play. However, he was in the lineup and finished a game-high 30 points. But with the Pelicans playing the second of a back-to-back, the 23-year-old will get a night off to rest. That said, Brandon Ingram (Achilles), CJ McCollum (ankle), and Trey Murphy III (knee) are questionable, so others could be forced to step up on Saturday night, meaning guys like Herbert Jones, Larry Nance Jr., Dyson Daniels, and Jose Alvarado could see plenty of interest from fantasy managers for their streaming potential.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Murray was questionable heading into Wednesday's overtime win over the Philadelphia 76ers because of right hamstring tightness. However, his left hamstring is now giving him trouble, although it's hard to imagine it costing him a game. But these things happen, so if Murray can't suit up for this one, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Trent Forrest might move into the starting lineup. Either way, Bogdanovic and Forrest will benefit, regardless of their role. At the same time, Murray's absence will mean even more scoring chances for Trae Young and Jalen Johnson, specifically.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Trey Murphy III (knee) has been upgraded from questionable to probable against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Ever since the 23-year-old returned from an injury that kept him out at the beginning of the season, he's been an important piece of the Pelicans' bench squad. He's been fantasy-relevant in deep leagues and can even be viable in 12-team leagues depending on the format. He's averaging 13.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.7 made threes while receiving 26.0 minutes per game. The possibility of him getting more minutes in this contest against the Nuggets doesn't seem likely now that the three starters previously listed questionable are all now probable.
