CJ McCollum Upgraded To Probable On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) has gone from questionable to probable on Friday along with four other key players for the team. They'll be taking on the defending champs and they're looking to stay afloat in the top six of the West. McCollum has only had to miss one game since his extended absence back in November. In that span, McCollum has averaged 19.1 points, 4.8 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.6 turnovers, and 3.6 made threes per game. More of the same can be expected since most of the team is healthy for this contest, so everyone should be returning to their usual roles and minutes.

Brandon Ingram Expected To Play Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been listed as probable on Friday and should be taking the court to play against the Denver Nuggets. Ingram is one of four key players that was upgraded from questionable to probable. CJ McCollum (ankle), Zion Williamson (quad), and Trey Murphy III (knee) are all expected to play as well. That means key reserves Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, and Dyson Daniels will not be getting extra opportunities. Ingram is a must-start player whenever healthy, so managers can deploy him into lineups regardless of the league format.

Zion Williamson Probable To Face Nuggets

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (quad) was able to play through his right quad contusion during their 36-point win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday and it looks like he'll be able to play again on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Williamson hasn't exactly given the type of production that everyone expected so far this year, but he's at least staying healthier than he has in recent years. Right now, Williamson is ranked 159 in nine-category leagues according to Basketball Monster. His field goal percentage and point totals have been high, but everything else has been either average or worse.

Zion Williamson Available On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (leg) has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is good news after Williamson missed their last game due to a right leg contusion. The expectation is that he'll play his normal role in the rotation, so fantasy managers can get Williamson back in their lineups. His return will shift Trey Murphy III back to the bench where his streaming value will take a hit.

Jose Alvarado Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (illness) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Alvarado sat out on Sunday because of the issue, but hopefully he's feeling better now. His return would mean that Dyson Daniels would see a reduced role in the rotation. He wasn't an ideal streaming option anyway, but he won't have much value at all if Alvarado is cleared to play.
