Modest role as backup center Zeller accumulated zero points (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT) and three rebounds over five minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 win over the Mavericks. Impact With Larry Nance (ribs) sidelined, Zeller is the primary backup center behind Jonas Valanciunas. However, Zeller has played double-digit minutes just twice over the Pelicans' last five games. New Orleans is opting to go smaller with its second unit, with Zion Williamson and now Naji Marshall -- who recently made his season debut -- operating as small-ball centers.
