Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Puts up 15 points Wednesday
Bey notched 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), a rebound and two assists across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 145-111 loss to the Nets.
Bey remains a useful player to roster in category-based formats if you're looking for a second-unit scorer. He's scored in double digits in all but one of his last eight games, averaging 16.1 points per game in that stretch.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Scores 14 points off bench
Poole finished with 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), an assist and a block across 21 minutes in Wednesday's 145-111 loss to the Nets.
Poole made efficient use of his limited offensive opportunities, but his 21-minute workload and minimal secondary contributions limited his fantasy production. Poole's scoring ability provides occasional upside, but his inconsistent playing time and narrow statistical profile outside of the scoring column make him difficult to trust in standard formats.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Provides 14 points and five assists
Fears tallied 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 145-111 loss to the Nets.
Fears delivered efficient scoring and solid playmaking despite New Orleans' lopsided defeat. His five assists were encouraging, but four turnovers and a lack of defensive stats reduced his overall fantasy value. Despite the Pelicans' struggles, Fears has posted solid numbers overall as a scoring threat -- he's posted double-digit points in each of his last 10 games while averaging 16.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest over that stretch.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Paces New Orleans in blowout loss
Williamson finished Wednesday's 145-111 loss to the Nets with 29 points (8-14 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 12-14 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 30 minutes.
Williamson was efficient Wednesday and got to the charity stripe frequently en route to a game-high scoring total. He was one of just two Pelicans starters to score in double figures, and he was the team's only player to score more than 15 points. The 26-year-old forward has reached the 20-point threshold in four of his last five appearances, shooting 59.7 percent from the floor over that stretch.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Moving back to bench Wednesday
Bey won't start Wednesday's game against the Nets.
With Zion Williamson (rest) back in action, Bey will retreat to the second unit. Over 10 appearances off the bench this season, he's averaged 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.9 minutes per showing.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Out again Wednesday
Murphy (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Murphy will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee issue. His next opportunity to get back on the court will come Friday against the Grizzlies. While Murphy remains on the shelf Wednesday, Saddiq Bey could stay in the starting lineup.

Pelicans' Bennedict Mathurin: Late addition to injury report
Mathurin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right thumb sprain.
Mathurin wasn't listed on the initial injury report, and the extent of the issue remains unclear. While he's not a major part of the regular rotation, Mathurin, Trey Murphy and Trendon Watford are all expected to be unavailable Wednesday, opening the door for Saddiq Bey, Herbert Jones and potentially Jordan Poole to play more minutes.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Now not expected to play
Murphy (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Murphy was initially listed as probable but is now expected to miss a second straight game. If the sharpshooter is ruled out, it'll be his third absence over the past five games, with only one of them coming during a back-to-back set. Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones are candidates for increased roles until Murphy returns to action.

Pelicans' Trendon Watford: Ruled out for Wednesday
Watford (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Watford continues to nurse a right ankle sprain. The forward lacks a concrete timetable for a return to the floor.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Absent from injury report
Williamson (rest) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
The star forward sat out the second leg of the Pelicans' most recent back-to-back set for maintenance purposes, but he's set to return to the court Wednesday. Herbert Jones is likely to move back to the bench in Williamson's return.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Expected to play Wednesday
Murphy (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
The star forward sat out the second leg of the Pelicans' latest back-to-back set due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy, but he's set to return to action Wednesday. Saddiq Bey is likely to shift back to the bench but should maintain a significant role.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Struggles in return to rotation
Poole posted seven points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 138-87 loss to Golden State.
Poole logged a team-high 34 minutes but managed only five shot attempts and finished with a game-worst minus-47 rating. His heavy workload came largely in garbage time of a blowout. Without more offensive involvement, he's difficult to trust in fantasy lineups, especially when the Pelicans are back at full strength.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Leads team in scoring
Queen posted 16 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds and three blocks in 21 minutes during Monday's 138-87 loss to the Warriors.
Queen was one of the few bright spots for New Orleans, leading the team in scoring and swatting three shots. He did much of his damage at the free-throw line. He continues to come off the bench despite Yves Missi's (knee) absence, which limits his ceiling, but Queen's scoring and shot-blocking keep him relevant in most formats.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Starting Monday
Jones will start Monday's game against the Warriors, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.
Jones will earn his fifth start of the 2026-27 campaign with Zion Williamson (rest) out Monday. Jones has averaged 9.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.5 minutes per tilt across four starts this season.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Drawing first start of season
Bey will start Monday's game against the Warriors, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.
With Trey Murphy (knees) and Zion Williamson (rest) sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Bey will step into the starting lineup for the first time this season. The 27-year-old forward has logged at least 26 minutes in five straight games, averaging 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 29.6 minutes per contest during that span.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Sitting out Monday
Williamson (rest) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
The Pelicans are giving the star forward a maintenance day on the second half of this back-to-back, but Williamson should be able to play Wednesday against the Nets. With Trey Murphy (knees) also sidelined, Derik Queen, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones stand out as the most likely candidates to enter the starting lineup Monday.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Season-worst outing in rout
Murray registered six points (1-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 139-123 loss to the Clippers.
It was a season-worst showing by Murray, who registered season lows in both points and assists Sunday. The star guard has an opportunity to bounce back Monday in Golden State, where Trey Murphy (knee) will be a spectator for the second leg of this back-to-back set.
