New Orleans Pelicans News and Rumors - NBA

Trey Murphy III - Leads first unit with 19 points Murphy produced 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to the Suns.

Impact Murphy led an uninspired effort by the Pelicans' first unit, as he was the only starter to post a double-digit total. The Pelicans stayed afloat thanks to great bench performances from Jordan Poole, Zion Williamson and Jose Alvarado. Even Murphy's total was below expectations, as he logged his second consecutive total below 20 points.

Jordan Poole - Returns with 19 points off bench Poole logged 19 points (7-18 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and four steals across 31 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Poole missed the previous game with a nagging ankle injury, but he played through any residual pain and posted a solid number with the second unit. Although Jeremiah Fears appears to have a solid grasp on the starting gig at point guard, Poole will continue to push the youngster for time. The job was Poole's to lose earlier in the season, and his ankle kept him from retaining the role. Once Poole is back to 100 percent, the tide may turn in New Orleans' backcourt.

Zion Williamson - Hits for 20 points off bench Williamson notched 20 points (5-10 FG, 10-14 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block in 28 minutes during Friday's 115-108 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Williamson rode with the second unit as he works his way back from injury, and he's thriving in the adjusted role. Although the Pelicans have another chance against the Suns on Saturday, Williamson will likely sit out the back-to-back for injury management. Fantasy managers who depend on Williamson's production should monitor his status as tip-off approaches.
