New Orleans Pelicans DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green, forward Zion Williamson (foot) will play on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old made another appearance on the injury report because of a nagging foot issue. However, he's good to go. Williamson won't have to deal with Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles), which will certainly brighten his fantasy outlook. CJ McCollum (ankle) is also out, meaning the former Blue Devil could get more scoring opportunities. That said, with the Pels playing another game on Wednesday night, Williamson could sit that one out, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. He's back on the injury report because of a left foot contusion, something he's been dealing with for a while. Of course, the 23-year-old should be in all fantasy lineups if he's available, and his fantasy ceiling will increase even more if CJ McCollum (ankle) doesn't suit up. However, with the Pelicans playing back-to-back contests in the next few days, there's a chance Williamson could miss one of them, which would open the door for Naji Marshall and Larry Nance Jr. to get enough action to make them relevant for fantasy purposes.

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Monday that guard CJ McCollum (ankle) is day-to-day after the 32-year-old went through a full practice. McCollum sprained his left ankle during Friday's loss to the Miami Heat, but he's trending in the right direction for Tuesday's tilt against the New York Knicks. New Orleans will update McCollum's game status on their official injury report later on Monday, but the guard should be deemed questionable for now.

Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray went close to a triple-double as the team started life without Trae Young (finger) with a 109-92 victory over Orlando on Sunday. He led all scorers with 25 points, had a game-high 11 assists, and was also among the most productive players on the glass, finishing with nine rebounds. Across 39 minutes of action, Murray shot 11-for-20 from the field with a 2-for-5 record from downtown and also grabbed a pair of steals. Murray should be set for a dominant stretch, with Young ruled out for multiple weeks. Bogdan Bogdanovic is also set to benefit as Young's replacement in the starting five. He produced a 17-5-3 line on Sunday.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) won't suit up on Sunday night versus Chicago. The former Trail Blazer injured his ankle on Friday against the Miami Heat, forcing him to exit after just 15 minutes on the floor. At this point, it's hard to gauge how long McCollum will be sidelined. But with Jose Alvarado getting a three-game suspension, Jordan Hawkins should draw consideration from fantasy managers for streaming purposes. Hawkins has averaged 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season.
