Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Another lackluster performance
Rotowire
Peavy ended with eight points (4-6 FG), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime loss to the Timberwolves.
Peavy has a clearer pathway to minutes while Zion Williamson (groin) and Herbert Jones (calf) are sidelined. That said, Peavy has averaged just 9.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.7 minutes per contest over his last nine outings.

Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Decent numbers off bench
Rotowire
Peavy had 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and four steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 143-130 victory over Chicago.
Peavy scored in double digits for the first time since Nov. 17, when he notched a season-high 16 points against the Thunder coming off the bench. Peavy has logged at least 17 minutes in four of his last five games, and his playing time seems to be trending in the right direction. However, he's still not producing -- or playing -- enough to be considered a reliable fantasy option in most formats.

Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Sees 21 minutes in win
Rotowire
Peavy logged seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and three steals across 21 minutes of Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.
Peavy was selected by the Pelicans with the No. 40 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. A versatile defender out of Georgetown, Peavy averaged 2.5 steals in his two Summer League appearances, and he was very active on that end Friday. There is plenty of competition on the wings of the second unit with guys like Saddiq Bey and Jordan Hawkins, but Peavy is off to a great start.

Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Lands with New Orleans
Rotowire
Peavy was selected by the Pelicans with the No. 40 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The Wizards traded this pick to the Pelicans, who used it to select Peavy, a versatile defender out of Georgetown with strong two-way potential. He enjoyed a breakout campaign as a fifth-year senior, averaging 17.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.3 steals while shooting 48.1 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from three over 32 games. While there are some concerns that his perimeter shooting may regress to his career average of 32.2 percent across 159 games, Peavy's ability to guard multiple positions makes him an intriguing addition to New Orleans' roster.
