Jordan Poole - Delivers 21 off bench in loss Poole ended with 21 points (7-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one steal in 23 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 128-118 loss to Orlando.

Impact The 26-year-old guard has been seeing a wildly varying role in the Pelicans' backcourt of late. Poole has started two of the last eight games and played anywhere from 12 to 39 minutes during that stretch, failing to score a point at all in two of those contests while topping 20 points in four others. That volatility makes him a risky DFS option, but Poole is averaging 14.8 points, 3.3 threes, 3.1 assists and 1.3 boards in 24.9 minutes in that time, production which has some value in deeper season-long formats.

Trey Murphy III - Strikes for 21 in Sunday's loss Murphy accumulated 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and six assists across 37 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to Orlando.

Impact Back trouble has sidelined Murphy for two of the Pelicans' last six games, but the fifth-year wing has been productive when he's been on the court. Murphy's scored more than 20 points in six of his last seven appearances dating back to Dec. 27, averaging 26.4 points, 6.6 boards, 5.3 threes, 3.7 assists and 0.9 steals over that stretch.

Zion Williamson - Hits for team-high 22 in loss Williamson registered 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Magic.

Impact The 22 points led the Pelicans on the afternoon. Williamson has scored over 20 points in three straight games and six of eight since returning to the starting lineup Dec. 29, averaging 25.0 points, 5.5 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch as he enjoys his longest period of good health so far this season.

Saddiq Bey - Ruled out for Sunday Bey (hip) won't play Sunday in Orlando.

Impact Sunday will mark a sixth straight absence for Bey, though the fact that he was initially listed as doubtful for the game before being downgraded can be considered a sign of progress. With the Pelicans' next two games coming as a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set, Bey seems likely to miss at least one of those contests while he works his way back from a right hip flexor strain.

Impact Jones is set to miss a third consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle, which is the same injury that caused him to miss seven-straight games prior to Jan. 6 against the Lakers.
