Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Iffy for Tuesday
Jones is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers with a sprained right ankle.
Jones has a chance to end a seven-game absence Tuesday. With Saddiq Bey (hip) already ruled out, the Pelicans could need Jones to play significant minutes if the forward is upgraded to available.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Won't play Tuesday
Bey (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Lakers.
Bey will be sidelined for a third straight game Tuesday, while Herbert Jones (ankle) is listed as questionable. For now, Bey can be considered highly questionable for the second leg of this back-to-back set Wednesday against the Hawks.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Sees 20 minutes in loss
Alvarado ended with six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Heat.
Alvarado continues to be a hit-or-miss streaming option in deeper formats. Over his last six games, he's averaging 6.0 points, 2.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Well-rounded performance in loss
Murphy amassed 27 points (10-19 FG, 7-15 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to Miami.
Murphy missed Friday's loss to Portland due to back soreness but shed his questionable tag to suit up Sunday. The 25-year-old swingman knocked down a season-high seven triples en route to a team-best 27 points, securing his 20th game with 20-plus points through 34 regular-season appearances. He also chipped in a team-high eight rebounds, grabbing more than six boards for the first time since Dec. 14.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Posts 21 points in loss
Fears closed with 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Heat.
Fears reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Dec. 14, finishing as New Orleans' second-leading scorer on efficient shooting. While the rookie first-rounder ended December with a two-game stretch in which he totaled nine points, he has scored at least 18 points in back-to-back games. He has finished with 18-plus points in three of his last five outings, averaging 13.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists across 26.8 minutes per game over that stretch.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Dishes out eight assists in loss
Poole notched eight points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight assists, two blocks, one rebound and one steal across 25 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 125-106 loss to the Heat.
With Trey Murphy back in the lineup following a one-game absence due to back soreness, Poole came off the bench after getting the spot start in Friday's loss to Portland. The 26-year-old guard struggled to find his rhythm from the field, finishing with just eight points after scoring at least 16 in each of his previous three appearances. However, Poole still led the Pelicans in assists, dishing out a game- and season-high eight dimes. Additionally, he set a new season high in blocks as well.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Headed to bench
McGowens will come off the bench for Sunday's game in Miami.
Trey Murphy is set to return after missing one game with a back issue, so McGowens will shift back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, McGowens owns averages of 6.2 points per game on 58.1 percent shooting from the field and 80.0 percent shooting at the charity stripe.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Making first start of season
Matkovic is part of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Miami.
Matkovic will make his first start of the campaign, slotting in at the power forward spot between Zion Williamson and Derik Queen. Matkovic is fresh off his best game of the season, as he totaled 16 points, two rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 20 minutes in Friday's loss to Portland.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Back to bench Sunday
Missi is not in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday.
Missi started Friday's win over the Trail Blazers, when he logged five points, three rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 21 minutes. He'll revert to a bench role Sunday after Derik Queen (quadriceps) was cleared to return from a one-game absence.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Will play Sunday
Queen (quadriceps) is available for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Queen has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a left quadriceps contusion, so Yves Missi will likely revert to a bench role for Sunday's contest. Queen is averaging 13.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 25.8 minutes per game in his rookie season.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Available to play
Murphy (back) will be available for Sunday's game in Miami.
Murphy is back after a one-game absence, which will likely result in Jordan Poole or Bryce McGowens returning to the second unit. Since Murphy only missed one game, he shouldn't be operating with any minutes restrictions, so make sure you've got him active.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Questionable against Miami
Murphy (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Miami.
Murphy missed New Orleans' most recent game due to back soreness, and his availability for Sunday is up in the air. The Pelicans are already set to be shorthanded at the wing, as Herbert Jones (ankle) and Saddiq Bey (hip) have been ruled out.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Could return Sunday
Queen (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.
The rookie center did not play against the Trail Blazers on Friday due to a left quadriceps contusion, but if he returns Sunday then he would likely replace Yves Missi in the starting lineup. Queen ended the month of December having averaged 15.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals over 29.1 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Still sidelined
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.
Jones will be out for a seventh consecutive game due to a sprained right ankle. In addition to Jones, Saddiq Bey (hip) is out Sunday too, leaving plenty of minutes for Jordan Hawkins, Bryce McGowens and Micah Peavy. Jones' next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Lakers.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Out again Sunday
Bey (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Bey will miss a second consecutive game due to a right hip strain. The 26-year-old's absence should mean more opportunities for Bryce McGowens and Micah Peavy. Bey's next chance to play will come Tuesday against the Lakers, which is the opening leg of a back-to-back set.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Logs 13 points vs. Portland
McGowens accumulated 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 122-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.
McGowens got the starting nod despite being inactive for each of the Pelicans' two games prior to Friday's loss and ended up scoring in double digits for the first time since Dec. 11. The fourth-year guard's role for the Pelicans appears to be in flux, but he should be in line for more playing time for as long as Trey Murphy (back), Herbert Jones (ankle) and Saddiq Bey (hip) are sidelined.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Dishes six dimes in start
Poole closed with 16 points (5-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and six assists over 30 minutes during Friday's 122-109 loss to Portland.
Poole made his fifth start of the regular season Friday and first since Nov. 4 due to the absences of several key starters, including Trey Murphy (back) and Saddiq Bey (hip). Poole wasn't the most efficient from the field, but he led the Pelicans with six assists and finished tied with Karlo Matkovic as the team's third-leading scorer behind Zion Williamson (35 points) and Jeremiah Fears (18 points). Across the 10 games since returning from an 18-game absence due to a left quadriceps strain, Poole has averaged 17.1 points, 3.4 assists, 2.1 rebounds, 2.4 threes and 1.0 steals over 36.4 minutes per game, though he's connected on just 27.6 percent of his three-point attempts over that span.
