Ryan Kalkbrenner - Fares well off bench Kalkbrenner registered 10 points (3-5 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 18 minutes during Monday's 102-95 victory over the Pelicans.

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.

If they unload a player or two, Queen could potentially see a bump in usage.

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.
