New Orleans Pelicans DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is getting converted from a two-way deal to a two-year standard NBA contract according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. The 23-year-old has appeared in 21 games for the Pelicans this year and has operated mostly in a third-string big-man role. He's averaging 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds across 10.0 minutes per game while shooting 51.7% from the floor and 36.4% from beyond the arc. He's not much of a fantasy asset at the moment, but he could become a streaming option if the Pelicans frontcourt experiences any injury issues down the stretch.

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk failed to complete Wednesday's game against Indiana due to a lower back strain. He logged only seven minutes, posting zero points with two rebounds and three fouls. This was Olynyk's third game in a Raptors uniform since the team traded for him last week. He started well in Toronto and averaged 14.0 points with 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 steals over his first two games. With the Raptors now off until Feb. 22, Olynyk gets a good amount of recovery time, but it's currently unclear if it will be enough to be ready for action next week. Chris Boucher re-entered the rotation in Olynyk's absence on Wednesday and could have a role to play if he's out next game.

Philadelphia 76ers center Mo Bamba (knee) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 25-year-old missed Saturday's meeting in Washington. However, fantasy managers are used to life without Bamba this season, considering he's missed 22 games already. There are minutes up for grabs until Joel Embiid (knee) returns. But regardless of whether Bamba can suit up, Paul Reed appears to remain a lock to absorb most of the minutes in the middle moving ahead.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against Memphis. The 23-year-old continues to deal with a bone contusion in his left foot. He was in the lineup on Friday night in the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with a game-high 30 points and adding nine boards, five assists, one steal, and one block. But Williamson didn't suit up on Saturday versus Portland, allowing Trey Murphy III to enter the starting lineup and finish with a team-high 24 points. If Williamson can't go on Monday, Murphy should be starting in all fantasy scoring formats.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III (knee) is available to play ahead of Saturday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Murphy will suit up for both legs of the back-to-back set for the first time this season. That is good news for the Pelicans with Zion Williamson (foot) ruled out for this game. That means Murphy should get bumped into the starting five while Naji Marshall (back) will play a larger role off the bench.
