New Orleans Pelicans DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Toronto Raptors guard Bruce Brown (knee) won't play in Sunday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Right knee inflammation will keep Brown out on Sunday, with the combo guard originally being a late addition to the injury report. Across Brown's past 13 games, the versatile 27-year-old is averaging 7.2 points while shooting just 39.8% from the floor, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 23.7 minutes contest and ranks outside the top 200 in nine-category fantasy leagues during this stretch. Brown's next shot to return to the floor comes on Tuesday versus the New Orleans Pelicans.Gradey Dick was already on the rise and is now looking at an increased workload. Over the rookie first-rounder's last 11 outings, he's averaging 12.3 points and 2.4 treys on 51.0% shooting from deep in 21.5 minutes and is a solid fantasy streamer in a favorable matchup. The Hornets hold the third-worst defensive efficiency rating (117.3), and they carry the fourth-worst opponent field-goal percentage (49.5%) this year.

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. He's averaged just 8.6 points in 19 games since being traded to Toronto, down from 12.1 points while with the Pacers. However, with Scottie Barnes (hand) out indefinitely, Brown has a chance to get more involved moving ahead. While there's a chance the 27-year-old could still suit up, rookie Gradey Dick, who averaged a career-high 11.0 points in February, could draw even more interest from fantasy managers. There's also room for Ochai Agbaji to see more work, although he can't be trusted.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (calf) will play against Indiana on Wednesday. Following a trip to New York on Tuesday, the Pelicans complete a back-to-back, and Murphy III was initially listed as questionable for the game with a left calf contusion. Murphy III led all scorers with 26 points against the Knicks on Tuesday, but CJ McCollum's (ankle) return means he will have to settle for a smaller role in Wednesday's game.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (ankle) will return to the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Pacers. He has been upgraded to available after initially being questionable for the matchup. McCollum has missed two games with a left ankle sprain. His return comes in a great spot because Pacers games tend to be very high-scoring affairs, as the team plays with the league's highest pace.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (foot) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers. He's been troubled by a left foot problem but will make a seventh consecutive appearance. This is a dream matchup against a pacy team, and Williamson should do plenty of damage. He has upped his averages to 24.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 6.7 assists this month.
