Derik Queen - Double-doubles in defeat Queen amassed 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to the Pacers.

Impact After finishing with just four points on 0-of-5 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Nets, Queen bounced back Friday. The rookie big man was one of six Pelicans players to score in double figures and has posted at least 10 points in four of his last five outings. Additionally, the Maryland product grabbed a game-best 12 boards, securing his fourth double-double in eight appearances this month. During that span, Queen has averaged 10.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists across 27.1 minutes per tilt.

Trey Murphy III - Sinks five treys in loss Murphy supplied 22 points (7-21 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five assists, four rebounds, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to Indiana.

Impact Although Murphy struggled with efficiency, he still finished as the Pelicans' second-leading scorer and led all players in three-pointers made. The 25-year-old swingman has yet to score fewer than 21 points through seven appearances in January. Moreover, he has knocked down at least five triples in five of those outings and is shooting 41.1 percent from beyond the arc so far this month.

Zion Williamson - Well-rounded performance in loss Williamson totaled 27 points (10-12 FG, 7-10 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to the Pacers.

Impact Williamson was extremely efficient in this one and has now shot 80.8 percent from the field in his last two games. The star forward finished as New Orleans' leading scorer Friday and has reached the 20-point threshold in five of his last six outings. The 25-year-old also led the club in assists, matching his season high in dimes that he set in a loss to the Spurs on Oct. 24.
