Herbert Jones - Listed as questionable Jones (head/migraine) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.

Impact Jones took a shot in the face during Saturday's game against the Pacers and was unable to return. He's day-to-day, however, and it's likely that he's re-evaluated after the morning shootaround. Jordan Poole, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic could see more minutes if Jones is unable to play.

T.J. McConnell - Dealing with sore left knee McConnell (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Boston.

Impact McConnell is working through left knee soreness, which puts him in jeopardy of missing his first game since Nov. 9. Quenton Jackson, Garrison Matthews and Ethan Thompson would be in line for more minutes off the bench if McConnell is unable to play. McConnell has averaged 9.0 points, 5.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 16.4 minutes per game over his last seven outings.

Johnny Furphy - Nursing ankle sprain Furphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Furphy is coming off his best performance of the season in a 128-109 loss to the Pelicans, when he tallied 18 points and two rebounds over 23 minutes. He appears to have sprained his left ankle during that game, which puts him in jeopardy of missing the front end of the Pacers' back-to-back set Monday. His absence would mean more rotational minutes would be available for Garrison Matthews and Jarace Walker.

Jeremiah Fears - Just five points in Saturday's win Fears logged five points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during the Pelicans' 128-109 win over the Pacers on Saturday.

Impact It wasn't a great outing for Fears, who committed a team-high four turnovers and was the only Pelicans starter to finish with a negative point differential (minus-9). Fears averaged 15.7 points per game across his first 25 starts of the season, but he's accumulated just 14 points over his last two outings, and his minutes have noticeably dipped over his last five games. Fears and the Pelicans play four games next week, starting with Monday's home tilt against the Mavericks.
