Bey is out for Friday's game against the Wizards due to a right hip flexor strain.
Sunday's matchup in Orlando marks Bey's next opportunity to conclude what is set to be a five-game absence with the injury. With Herbert Jones (ankle) unlikely to play Friday, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic should have a chance to claim a more sizable role in the New Orleans frontcourt.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Bey (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Portland.
Bey is dealing with right hip soreness and is in jeopardy of missing just his second game of the season. If the 26-year-old forward joins Herbert Jones (ankle) on the sidelines, Micah Peavy, Jordan Hawkins and Bryce McGowens are candidates for increased roles. Over his last 10 outings, Bey has averaged 17.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 31.2 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Outstanding with 26 points
Rotowire
Bey accumulated 26 points (9-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 130-125 loss to the Knicks.
Despite the loss, the Pelicans played tough against the Knicks, and Bey's appearance among a healthy core of regulars was a key factor in the team's success. It's been some time since we've seen Bey and Zion Williamson together in the starting lineup, and the duo reaped huge benefits as they kept pace with the championship-caliber Knicks. Although the Pelicans continue to fall short, Bey is enjoying a productive fifth season, averaging 15.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 33 games.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Continues productive ways
Rotowire
Bey closed Monday's 119-113 victory over the Mavericks with 19 points (7-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes.
Bey continues to be a very productive player for the Pelicans and fantasy managers alike. He should continue to benefit from Zion Williamson being stuck in a bench role, with Bey having averaged 19.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 32.9 minutes per contest over his last 14 games.

Rotowire
Bey racked up 18 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 119-101 loss to Brooklyn.
The fifth-year forward continues to shoulder a sizable load on offense for the injury-ravaged Pelicans. Bey has started eight straight games and scored at least 18 points in all of them, averaging 19.9 points, 8.6 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.4 steals in 34.1 minutes a contest over that stretch.

Rotowire
Bey closed with 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 133-128 overtime loss to Memphis.
The fifth-year forward has suddenly become a force on the glass. Bey has started three straight games while Herbert Jones (calf) has been unavailable, and he's produced a double-double in all three, averaging 18.7 points, 11.3 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.7 threes and 2.0 steals in 33.7 minutes a contest. Jones is expected to miss at least one more game, but it could be tough to dislodge Bey from the starting five given his impressive level of play over the last week.

Rotowire
Bey (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Questionable to face Denver
Rotowire
Bey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Bey is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. If the 26-year-old forward remains out, Derik Queen, Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy are candidates for increased playing time. Bey has started each of his last six appearances, averaging 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per game during that span.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Won't play Monday
Rotowire

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Late add to injury report Monday
Rotowire
Bey (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Bey was a late addition to the Pelicans' injury report due to a left ankle sprain. The Villanova product has started the past six games, averaging 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per contest. Even if he suits up Monday, Bey could shift back to a bench role with Zion Williamson (hamstring) potentially returning after a seven-game absence.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Struggles with shot in loss
Rotowire
Bey finished with 11 points (3-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 118-104 loss to the Lakers.
Bey finished just three rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double, so on the surface, his performance wasn't bad by any means. However, Bey had a rough shooting outing, and this 11-point output was his lowest mark in his last five outings since moving to a starting role. Despite the subpar showing, Bey should remain in the first unit and should continue to have a green light to shoot from almost anywhere for a Pelicans team with very few proven offensive weapons as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Goes for 15 points in loss Monday
Rotowire
Bey closed with 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.
Bey has started in each of the Pelicans' last three games and has scored in double digits each time. He's proven he can post solid numbers if needed, though the starting role is only due to the absences of Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Jordan Poole (quadriceps). Expect Bey to remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, and while he could be a decent streaming option, he hasn't shown enough to be a consistent starter in all fantasy formats.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Season-best outing in start
Rotowire
Bey ended Wednesday's 101-99 win over Dallas with 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes.
It was the second start of the season for Bey, who responded to the promotion by posting season highs in points, boards and treys. The Pelicans are likely to continue asking more of Bey until they're able to bring Zion Williamson (hamstring) back into the mix. Bey is working his way onto deep-league fantasy radars, averaging 11.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest across eight games this season.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Steps up in victory
Rotowire
Bey notched 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 win over the Hornets.
Bey scored a season-high 17 points, stepping up in the absence of Zion Williamson, who was earlier ruled out for up to 10 days with yet another hamstring injury. While Bey's overall game is somewhat limited, he could certainly be in line for more playing time over the coming games. If you need points and three-pointers, he could be worth a look.
