Secures double-double in loss Queen finished with 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-108 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Queen was one of the lone bright spots for the Pelicans in a blowout loss. He reached double digits in the scoring column after being held to nine points or fewer in three straight games, and he nabbed his first double-double since Jan. 16. Despite a solid night, consistent production has been tough to come by for the rookie, who has seen north of 20 minutes only five times in 13 March showings.

Impact Queen has been a volatile fantasy asset lately, but Sunday's game was a step in the right direction. Over his last eight outings, the rookie has seen 21.1 minutes per contest with 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.8 blocks on 39.7 percent shooting from the field.

Hits for 19 off bench Queen totaled 19 points (6-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 137-117 loss to the Clippers.

Impact The Pelicans' top two scorers on the night both came from the second unit, as Jeremiah Fears paced the team with a career-high 28 points. Queen hadn't scored more than eight points in any of the prior three games since shifting back to the bench, while DeAndre Jordan has done little since joining the starting five. Even with the Pelicans in full tank mode, it's not clear how long that arrangement might last.
