Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Surpasses 20-point mark again
Rotowire
Williamson registered 22 points (10-12 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, five steals and a block across 31 minutes in Thursday's 132-120 win over the Kings.
Williamson delivered another outstanding fantasy performance, shooting 83.3 percent from the field while recording six combined steals-plus-blocks. His defensive contributions were particularly notable, significantly boosting his value beyond scoring. Williamson has now scored at least 20 points in four of his five appearances this season while shooting an impressive, and likely unsustainable, 64.6 percent from the floor.

Rotowire
Williamson delivered 25 points (10-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 32 minutes in Wednesday's 104-91 loss to the Nuggets.
Williamson was New Orleans' most efficient offensive contributor once again and made his presence felt in a big way, shooting 71.4 percent from the field while adding three steals. The star forward has enjoyed an excellent start to the season and has surpassed the 20-point mark in three of his first four outings while also recording multiple assists and steals each time. His rebounding numbers could use an uptick, but nonetheless, it's been a strong start to the campaign for Williamson with averages of 21.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.8 steals per game while shooting 60.4 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from deep.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Hits for team-high 23 in Utah
Rotowire
Williamson provided 23 points (8-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 120-119 loss to the Jazz.
The 26-year-old forward topped 20 points for the second straight game to begin the season, but neither effort produced a win for the Pelicans. Williamson's main issue is always just to stay healthy and on the court, but so far New Orleans hasn't been limiting his workload -- after averaging 29.7 minutes across 62 regular-season games in 2025-26, he's played 32 and 33 minutes in the first two contests of the current campaign.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Off the mark in preseason finale

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 10 points off bench
Rotowire
Williamson finished with 10 points (5-5 FG, 0-4 FT) and one assist across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 101-97 preseason win over the Mavericks.
Williamson came off the bench Wednesday after starting in two preseason contests. While free throw shooting was an issue, he managed to drain all five of his attempts from the field. The 26-year-old ended the 2025-26 campaign by averaging 21.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals over 29.7 minutes per outing. Although Williamson certainly has the potential to make a few more All-Star appearances moving forward, his durability remains a significant concern.
Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Quiet in exhibition loss
Rotowire
Williamson recorded eight points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 128-118 preseason loss to Miami.
Williamson struggled to find his offensive rhythm, connecting on just three of his nine field-goal attempts while making minimal contributions elsewhere. The 26-year-old forward saw a limited workload in the exhibition contest, so his modest production isn't particularly concerning. Williamson remains a focal point of New Orleans' offense heading into the 2026-27 regular season, though his availability and durability will continue to be important considerations for fantasy managers.
Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Reports to camp in great shape
Rotowire
Williamson entered training camp in "impeccable condition," according to Pelicans executive Joe Dumars, who challenged the forward to prioritize his conditioning this offseason, according to New Orleans reporter Shamit Dua.
Dumars said Williamson accomplished that goal and has also been encouraged to expand his offensive game by taking more jumpers. Williamson is listed at 277 pounds, down from 284 last season, and improving his conditioning and perimeter game could help him remain productive while handling a significant role for New Orleans.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Coming off productive season
Rotowire
Williamson (knee) bounced back with a productive campaign in 2025-26, reestablishing himself as the focal point of New Orleans' offense despite the team's 26-56 finish.
Williamson remains one of the league's most efficient interior scorers when healthy and should once again lead the Pelicans in usage entering 2026-27. With no major offseason additions threatening his role, Williamson is expected to remain the franchise centerpiece.
