Pelicans' Derik Queen: Huge third quarter in loss
Queen produced 21 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 141-118 loss to the Cavaliers.
Queen was limited to just two points in the first half while missing all four of his field-goal attempts, but the rookie center came alive in the third quarter with 16 points, going 6-for-7 from the field while connecting on both of his three-point attempts in the frame. The Pelicans traded two first-round picks to move up to the 13th spot in the 2025 NBA Draft to select Queen, and the Maryland product has blossomed into a key piece of the franchise early in his career. Across the 19 games since permanently entering the starting lineup Nov. 16, Queen has averaged 15.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 28.3 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Double-doubles vs. Dallas
Queen posted 19 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block over 34 minutes during the Pelicans' 119-113 win over the Mavericks on Monday.
It was another strong outing for the rookie center, who has now logged a double-double in three consecutive games. Queen has been a permanent member of the Pelicans' starting lineup since Nov. 16, and his strong play of late should keep him in a starting role even when Zion Williamson is given the green light to upgrade from his bench role. As a starter, Queen is averaging 14.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.0 blocks and 1.0 steals over 28.5 minutes per game.

Queen closed Saturday's 128-109 win over the Pacers with 17 points (8-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 27 minutes.
Queen continues to put up excellent numbers, and he's been one of the best rookies in the 2025-26 campaign thus far. Queen now has two double-doubles and a triple-double over his last five outings, showing his outstanding ability to fill the stat sheet and giving him a strong floor every time he steps on the court. Queen has started every game for the Pelicans since Nov. 16. This was New Orleans' fourth consecutive win of the campaign.

Queen recorded his third double-double of the season as the Pelicans picked up an impressive comeback win over the Rockets. Queen is seemingly establishing himself as the face of the franchise, putting up 15.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.6 blocks per contest over his last five outings.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Continues to impress
Queen amassed 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 143-120 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Even though Queen was unable to repeat the impressive triple-double he notched in the loss against the Spurs on Monday, he posted another impressive stat line. The rookie big man has been one of the best first-year players in the league this season and has established excellent chemistry with Jeremiah Fears. Queen moved to the starting lineup Nov. 16 and hasn't looked back, averaging 15.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in 14 starts.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Delivers monster triple-double
Queen produced 33 points (11-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and four blocks in 33 minutes during Monday's 135-132 loss to the Spurs.
Queen put together the best all-around showing of his NBA career and became the youngest player in franchise history to record a 25-point triple-double, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com. He set season highs in points and blocks, but it wasn't enough to steal a victory. The Maryland product is still striving for better game-to-game consistency through his first 25 NBA contests, though he's certainly shown promising flashes.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Productive in loss
Queen totaled 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
Queen turned in his best performance in almost two weeks, logging a season-high 39 minutes in the process. With Zion Williamson set to miss an extended period due to an adductor injury, Queen's spot in the rotation just became a little clearer. As we have seen in recent times, there will be some wild shifts in production, something managers will have to brace for.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Goes for 15 in loss
Queen racked up 15 points (4-12 FG, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Lakers.
While Queen did not have a great night from the field, he still put up 15 points and effectively continued his impressive rookie campaign. In his last seven appearances, Queen is averaging 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks across 25.4 minutes, and has effectively cemented himself as a cornerstone within the Pelicans' starting lineup.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Limited to 17 minutes
Queen contributed eight points (4-9 FG), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 143-130 win over Chicago.
Queen has been generating a lot of positive headlines in New Orleans as a bright spot in an otherwise tough season. He was sent packing to the bench for the start of the second half, however, with the Pelicans rolling with Yves Missi. Unless this becomes a trend, Queen's fantasy managers can treat this game as an outlier, with the Pelicans likely trying to better match up with Chicago's small-ball lineups.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Fills stat sheet once again
Queen racked up 20 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 loss to the Hawks.
Queen was coming off a 20-point, seven-rebound, 11-assist performance Friday against the Mavericks, and he delivered an impressive stat line on the second leg of a back-to-back set. The rookie big man has been one of the best first-year players this season, but he seems to have taken his game to another level of late. In his last three starts, Queen has averaged 23.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game while shooting 53.0 percent from the floor.
