Pelicans' Derik Queen: Transformative performance

Queen recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 victory over the Hornets.

Queen overcame a slow start Tuesday, helping lift New Orleans to its first win of the season. While he was barely used during the first half, Queen played the entire fourth quarter, providing plenty of energy on both ends of the floor. The Pelicans need all the production in the world right now, a fact that shouldn't be lost on fantasy managers. Queen could be a worthwhile streaming candidate with Zion Williamson (hamstring) sidelined, especially if Yves Missi (illness) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks,
