Produces 21 points in defeat Fears supplied 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The 2025 first-round pick has worked with the Pelicans' first unit for most of the season, as the Oklahoma product's services were needed immediately with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) out of action. Jordan Poole's (quad) extended absence has also kept Fears' minutes up. Over 21 games, the rookie has averaged 15.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals.

Struggles in loss to Warriors Fears was ejected from Saturday's 104-96 loss to the Warriors after totaling 16 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Impact Ejection aside, Fears had a subpar performance Saturday after struggling with his shot. Fantasy managers should still be happy with the rookie's contributions, as he recorded at least two tallies in four of the five major categories. Still, his shooting woes are slowly becoming a concern. He's made only 18 of his 47 shots from the field over his last four games -- good for a 38.2 percent.

Sees 24 minutes in win Fears chipped in 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 143-130 win over Chicago.

Impact Along with Derik Queen, Fears was benched for the start of the second half with head coach James Borrego turning to Jose Alvarado and Yves Missi. Alvarado responded with a near triple-double and had the hot hand Monday, but unless this becomes a normal thing, Fears is likely to have the larger pathway to fantasy relevance moving forward.

Poor shooting display in loss Fears closed Saturday's 115-98 loss to the Hawks with 11 points (5-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.

Impact Fears didn't have his best performance, and while he still posted a solid line across the board, his lack of efficiency as a shooter limited his upside. This 11-point effort snapped Fears' run of eight games with at least 15 points, but based on the way he's been playing of late, the rookie out of Oklahoma should continue to work as one of the Pelicans' main fantasy options every time New Orleans steps on the hardwood.

Remains productive despite loss Fears contributed 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 118-115 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Fears came close to matching his previous career-high mark, a 24-point effort he delivered in a loss to the Thunder on Nov. 17, and the rookie continues to thrive while handling a prominent role on offense for the Pelicans. This was the eighth straight game in which Fears reached the 15-point mark, a span where he's averaged 18.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.1 steals per game.

Scores career-high 24 in loss Fears provided 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound and one assist in 25 minutes during Monday's 126-109 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Fears had to shoulder the offensive workload Monday with Zion Williamson (hamstring), Jordan Poole (quadriceps) and Saddiq Bey (ankle) all sidelined, and he did not disappoint, setting a new career-high in scoring. The rookie has been phenomenal since joining the starting lineup, averaging 15.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.1 blocks and 1.4 threes made in his last 12 games.
