10 Tim Frazier PG

Frazier will come off the bench Saturday against the Spurs, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

Coach Alvin Gentry will opt to start Wesley Johnson in Frazier's stead with Anthony Davis (elbow) back. Frazier is still a candidate to see run as a reserve point guard.

Frazier produced eight points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 30 minutes in the Pelicans' 132-119 loss to the Trail Blazers on Thursday.

Frazier drew another start for Elfrid Payton (ankle) and generated a second straight eight-point total. The veteran did step up his contributions as a facilitator after only dishing out one assist in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors, leading to a solid all-around complementary stat line. With Payton's return timetable still murky, it's possible Frazier logs a third straight turn with the first unit against the Spurs on Saturday.

Frazier scored eight points to go with one rebound, one assist, and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 131-121 loss to Golden State.

Frazier got the start, replacing the injured Elfrid Payton (ankle), but was only able to manage eight points and very little else. Payton could be back as soon as Thursday against the Trail Blazers which would send Frazier back to his bench role. No matter the outcome, Frazier has basically no fantasy value outside of streaming if and when Payton misses time.

Frazier will draw the start Wednesday against the Warriors, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

With starting point guard Elfrid Payton out with a sprained ankle, Frazier will move into the starting five. Payton is reported to be near a return, so the move likely won't last too long. Frazier saw 20 minutes in his last game, and will likely see somewhere close to that, if not more, on Wednesday.

Frazier was claimed off waivers by the Pelicans on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Frazier was waived by the Bucks just a few days ago and will now be scooped up by New Orleans. Look for the 27-year-old guard to slot in as depth in the backcourt, but he'll struggle to see meaningful minutes with the likes of Elfrid Payton, Jrue Holiday and Ian Clark present at the position.
