New Orleans Pelicans DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Kelly Olynyk (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran will be rested after he logged a season-high 31 minutes in Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Olynyk has played well as a starter lately, averaging 11.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in March. His absence opens up playing time for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Markovic. The latter is coming off one of his best performances of the season, as Markovic bagged a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double against the Grizzlies.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hip) has been labeled questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is battling soreness in his left hip. The tenacious guard played through the injury last week, so it's not apparently a major issue for Alvarado, who has averaged 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals for the season. If Alvarado does take the night off on Tuesday, Jordan Hawkins and Antonio Reeves may see increased playing time.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (hip) will play on Sunday against Memphis. He had 17 points and seven assists in Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets. But Alvarado was listed as questionable for this one because of hip soreness, although that has been the norm over the last few games. With CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson resting versus the Grizzlies, Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins are both worth starting in any fantasy format.

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (rest) won't play on Sunday against the visiting Grizzlies. The veteran amassed 17 points, five boards, and one steal while shooting 4-for-7 from deep in Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets. But McCollum and Zion Williamson will take the night off to rest. Bruce Brown is off the injury report, so he could move into the starting lineup. Jose Alvarado (hip), who is questionable after totaling 17 points and seven assists on Saturday, may also find himself with the first five.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) won't play on Sunday against Memphis. The former Duke Blue Devil logged 28 minutes in Saturday's blowout loss to the Rockets, finishing with a team-high 20 points with two steals. CJ McCollum (rest) will also take the night off. As a result, Jose Alvarado (hip), who is questionable, and Bruce Brown, who is off the injury report, could move into the starting lineup.
