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.

Pelicans' Trendon Watford: Out with ankle sprain
Watford (ankle) is out for Monday's game versus the Warriors.
Watford presumably picked up a right ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Clippers. His timeline for a return is uncertain. In his absence, DeAndre Jordan could re-enter the rotation, given Yves Missi (knee) remains out indefinitely.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Out Monday
Murphy (knees) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Golden State.
Murphy will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set due to bilateral patellar tendinopathy. The 26-year-old wing's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Brooklyn, and his absence should open up additional minutes for the likes of Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Bennedict Mathurin.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Hits for 25 in loss to Clippers
Fears registered 25 points (10-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 139-123 loss to the Clippers.
The second-year guard set a new season scoring high as he delivered at least 20 points for the fourth time in the last six games. Fears has seemingly found his groove in his sophomore campaign, and over that six-game stretch the seventh overall pick in the 2025 Draft is averaging 20.3 points, 6.5 assists, 5.7 boards, 1.5 steals and 1.3 threes while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Strikes for game-high 26 on Sunday
Murphy produced 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 139-123 loss to the Clippers.
The 26 points led all scorers on the night, as the Pelicans ran a very top-heavy offense -- Murphy, Zion Williamson and Jeremiah Fears all scored 25-plus, but only one of their teammates even reached double digits. The performance also tied Murphy's scoring high for the season, while the rebounds were also a new personal best for 2026-27. Through nine games, the 26-year-old forward is averaging 15.6 points, 4.8 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.2 threes and 1.0 steals.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Perfect from field in loss
Williamson recorded 25 points (9-9 FG, 7-9 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Sunday's 139-123 loss to the Clippers.
Williamson got off to a fast start Sunday, logging 17 first-half points. Although his production dipped in the final two quarters, the 26-year-old concluded with 25 points without missing a shot from the field. Williamson has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Productive off bench in loss
Bey recorded 17 points (5-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 31 minutes off the bench during Friday's 115-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
The veteran forward led the Pelicans' second unit in scoring, assists and made three-pointers in another productive effort. Bey has found another gear since Halloween, and over the last four games he's averaging 20.5 points, 5.0 boards, 2.3 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.5 steals in 30.5 minutes while shooting 53.6 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent from long range.
