Derik Queen - Strong showing in loss Queen accumulated 16 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to Charlotte.

Impact This was a terrific showing for the rookie as he continues to be a bright spot for the club. Although the Pelicans do not have their first-round pick this season, the team may end up being sellers at the trade deadline. If they unload a player or two, Queen could potentially see a bump in usage.

Zion Williamson - Double-doubles in loss Williamson produced 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-9 FT), 11 rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Williamson picked up his fifth double-double of the campaign Monday, but the Pelicans still dropped to 13-39 on the season. Williams has been pretty underwhelming over his last seven games, posting averages of 17.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.0 blocks in 29.8 minutes per contest.

Herbert Jones - Hits season-high four treys in loss Jones accumulated 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Jones cashed in a season-high four triples Monday after failing to eclipse more than one in a game since returning from his ankle injury. While he has not shot the ball well from beyond the arc recently, converting just 18.2 percent of his three-point attempts in the five games prior, Jones' performance Monday can be an encouraging sign that he may be getting back on track in regards to his efficiency.

Micah Peavy - Falls out of rotation Peavy (coach's decision) didn't receive any playing time in Monday's 102-95 loss to the Hornets.

Impact With interim head coach James Borrego trimming the rotation down to nine Monday, Peavy found himself as the odd man out. The rookie second-round pick had appeared in each of the Pelicans' previous seven games but didn't make a strong case for retaining a regular role on the second unit, as he averaged just 4.9 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 15.9 minutes per contest while shooting 38.9 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range over that stretch.

Saddiq Bey - Struggles in loss Monday Bey chipped in eight points (2-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Bey finally slowed down on the offensive end, scoring just eight points, the fewest he has scored in more than two months. While this was obviously a night to forget, Bey is in the midst of an unexpected breakout, putting together his best season despite coming off a long-term knee injury. In 45 appearances, he is averaging 16.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 30.3 minutes per game, good enough for top 90 value in nine-category leagues.

Trey Murphy III - Back on track in loss Murphy had 27 points (10-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Murphy turned things around on the offensive end, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in the past five games. It was a welcome sight for fantasy managers after having to deal with a recent shooting slump. Despite his struggles of late, Murphy continues to put together the best season of his career. Through 48 games, he is flirting with first-round value in standard leagues, averaging 21.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 35.8 minutes per contest.

Jose Alvarado - Logs 30 minutes in loss Alvarado finished with three points (1-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt) and three assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Alvarado saw at least 30 minutes for just the sixth time this season, although he failed to have any sort of tangible impact. While he does provide the Pelicans with an energetic on-court presence, his efforts often go unrewarded in terms of fantasy value. In seven appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 7.0 points, 3.1 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 20.9 minutes per contest.
