New Orleans Pelicans News and Rumors - NBA

Herbert Jones - Remaining out vs. Denver Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Jones is set to miss his fourth straight game due to a right ankle sprain, and he has appeared in just one matchup since Dec. 23. With the 27-year-old forward on the shelf, Bryce McGowens and Micah Peavy are candidates for increased roles, especially if Saddiq Bey (hip) is downgraded from questionable to out. Jones' next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Nets.

Saddiq Bey - Could return vs. Denver Bey (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Bey has been out of the lineup since Dec. 31 after picking up a hip injury, but the fact that he's being listed as questionable for Tuesday's action is a sign that he's nearing a return. The team should have another update on his availability shortly before tipoff.

Jose Alvarado - Likely to miss two more weeks Alvarado (oblique) is expected to miss about two more weeks, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Alvarado has already missed three games in a row with left oblique soreness, and it sounds like the Pelicans want to give him even more time to get the issue resolved. With the guard staying on the shelf, Bryce McGowens has played at least 26 minutes in three straight contests and seems to be the direct fantasy beneficiary of Alvarado's absence.

Jeremiah Fears - Scores 16 points in loss Fears amassed 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 128-118 loss to the Magic.

Impact Although the Pelicans continue to struggle, Fears has been a bright spot for the Pelicans. Over his last four games, he's shooting 45.1 percent from the field with averages of 14.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 26.6 minutes per contest.

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.
