Zion Williamson DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) is back in the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. The superstar forward is back in the mix following a rest day on Friday. It was the second leg of a back-to-back set, which always means Williamson is going to sit out. The Pelicans continue to be cautious with the oft-injured forward. When active, Williamson has been an excellent fantasy option, so fantasy managers should get him active in their lineups on Sunday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) will be sidelined on Friday for the second half of their back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns. He's officially listed on the injury report as "return to competition reconditioning," but it was pretty much expected since he hasn't been playing back-to-backs. Bruce Brown may see a bigger chunk of minutes since he's off of the injury report, or the Pelicans could go with a smaller lineup and give Jordan Hawkins and Jose Alvarado more minutes. Fantasy managers can look towards the latter two for a more consistent streaming option after they both posted double-digit points on Thursday. Alvarado even posted three steals to go with five assists.
