Jeremiah Fears News, Rumors, Updates - New Orleans Pelicans

Not starting versus Houston Fears won't start in Sunday's game against Houston, according to Lachard Binkley of SI.com.

Impact Dejounte Murray (hand) didn't suit up for Friday's 119-106 loss to Toronto. As a result, Fears entered the starting lineup, finishing with 10 points, four rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes. However, with Murray cleared to return from his one-game absence, Fears will head back to the bench.

Struggles with shot once again Fears produced 10 points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Friday's 119-106 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Fears returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 23, although he only did it due to the absences of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Trey Murphy (ankle), who were both unavailable for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie out of Oklahoma failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and he should return to a lesser role off the bench going forward. That should limit his fantasy upside considerably.

As a starter this season (44 games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.5 minutes per tilt.

Pops for 17 points in win Fears registered 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over Dallas.

Impact The 23-46 Pelicans have somewhat curiously gone away from deploying the rookie first-rounder as a starter, and Fears' playing time remains up and down in a bench role. Fears could remain difficult to trust in fantasy lineups when the New Orleans backcourt is mostly healthy, as he's averaged 11.0 points, 3.3 assists and 2.9 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game across his last seven contests.
