Zion Williamson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson won't play on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. Williamson entered Friday's loss to the Denver Nuggets with a right quad contusion, so he wasn't a lock to play. However, he was in the lineup and finished a game-high 30 points. But with the Pelicans playing the second of a back-to-back, the 23-year-old will get a night off to rest. That said, Brandon Ingram (Achilles), CJ McCollum (ankle), and Trey Murphy III (knee) are questionable, so others could be forced to step up on Saturday night, meaning guys like Herbert Jones, Larry Nance Jr., Dyson Daniels, and Jose Alvarado could see plenty of interest from fantasy managers for their streaming potential.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (quad) was able to play through his right quad contusion during their 36-point win over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday and it looks like he'll be able to play again on Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Williamson hasn't exactly given the type of production that everyone expected so far this year, but he's at least staying healthier than he has in recent years. Right now, Williamson is ranked 159 in nine-category leagues according to Basketball Monster. His field goal percentage and point totals have been high, but everything else has been either average or worse.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (leg) has been cleared to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This is good news after Williamson missed their last game due to a right leg contusion. The expectation is that he'll play his normal role in the rotation, so fantasy managers can get Williamson back in their lineups. His return will shift Trey Murphy III back to the bench where his streaming value will take a hit.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (leg) is currently listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The star forward was unable to play on Sunday due to a right leg contusion. The hope is that he'll return here, which would shift Trey Murphy III back to the bench. It's uncertain if the team plans to limit Williamson, assuming he plays. Murphy should still be able to have value off the bench, but it would take a hit if Williamson is able to play.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (leg) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The superstar forward won't play after exiting early on Friday due to a right leg contusion. The expectation is that Trey Murphy III will move into the starting unit with Williamson unavailable. Murphy should already be rostered in most formats, but fantasy managers should double check and make sure he's not on the waiver wire. He'll have increased value with Williamson sidelined on Sunday.
