Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Efficient despite loss
Williamson produced 18 points (6-8 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to the Rockets.
Williamson missed just two shots from the floor and two of his eight attempts from the free-throw line, but he didn't do much in other categories. The former Duke standout saw his streak of games with at least 20 points end at four contests, but he remains a reliable go-to option on offense for a Pelicans team that's no longer in the running for a playoff berth. Williamson is averaging 20.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 14 games since the beginning of March.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Puts up 18 points Sunday
Bey posted 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to the Rockets.
Bey finished just three boards away from recording a double-double, and the five-year veteran continues to leave his mark offensively since he's regularly scoring more than 15 points. He's scored at least 17 points in eight games in a row, a stretch in which he's averaging 19.9 points per game while shooting 47.9 percent from the floor and an impressive, yet unsustainable, 52.9 percent from three-point range.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Scores 19 vs. Houston
Murray totaled 19 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 134-102 loss to Houston.
Murray sit out Friday's loss to the Raptors, but he returned to the lineup Sunday and posted a solid line across the board while contributing in each of the five major categories. Murray has scored in double digits in every game but one since making his season debut Feb. 24, averaging 17.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game across 13 appearances.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Not starting versus Houston
Fears won't start in Sunday's game against Houston, according to Lachard Binkley of SI.com.
Dejounte Murray (hand) didn't suit up for Friday's 119-106 loss to Toronto. As a result, Fears entered the starting lineup, finishing with 10 points, four rebounds, three assists and one block across 27 minutes. However, with Murray cleared to return from his one-game absence, Fears will head back to the bench.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Available versus Houston
Murray (hand) is available for Sunday's game against Houston.
Murray was initially listed as questionable for this contest due to a left hand contusion. However, the hand injury won't keep him off the court versus Houston. Murray's availability could result in less production from Jeremiah Fears, who was in line to get the start once again if needed.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Won't play Sunday
Murphy (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
Murphy will miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins will likely maintain expanded roles with Murphy sidelined. His next chance to suit up comes Thursday against the Trail Blazers.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Ruled out for Sunday
McGowens (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rockets.
McGowens will miss a 10th straight game due to a right small toe fracture and remains without a clear timetable for a return. He should be considered doubtful for future contests until New Orleans provides an update on his progress.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Iffy for Sunday with bruised hand
Murray is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a left hand contusion.
Murray sat out the Pelicans' 119-106 loss to the Raptors on Friday due to right Achilles injury management, but it's a new injury that is now putting his availability for Sunday's contest up in the air. If Murray ends up missing a second straight contest, the Pelicans would likely turn to rookie Jeremiah Fears to log heavy minutes at point guard for another game.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Questionable to face Houston
Murphy (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Murphy is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain. If the 25-year-old wing remains sidelined, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins could continue seeing increased playing time.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Struggles with shot once again
Fears produced 10 points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Friday's 119-106 loss to the Raptors.
Fears returned to the starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 23, although he only did it due to the absences of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Trey Murphy (ankle), who were both unavailable for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The rookie out of Oklahoma failed to take advantage of the opportunity, and he should return to a lesser role off the bench going forward. That should limit his fantasy upside considerably.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Goes for 22 points in defeat
Williamson posted 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Friday's 119-106 loss to Toronto.
Williamson has surpassed the 20-point plateau in four games in a row, and he's scored at least 20 in nine of his 13 appearances since the beginning of March. Williamson has managed to stay healthy throughout the majority of the campaign and has logged 58 regular-season appearances already. This could be his second-best season in terms of games played -- he's played more than 60 regular-season contests just twice in his career. Look for Williamson to remain a key piece on offense for the Pelicans as long as he's active -- he's averaging 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game since the All-Star break.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Scores 19 in loss to Toronto
Bey notched 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 30 minutes during Friday's 119-106 loss to the Raptors.
Bey is riding a strong stretch of play, and this loss to the Raptors was the seventh straight game in which he scored at least 17 points. Over that prolific span, the forward is averaging 20.1 points per game while shooting 51.1 percent from three-point range. Bey should continue to be one of the Pelicans' go-to options on offense in the final weeks of the regular season as long as he remains available to play.

Pelicans' DeAndre Jordan: Sliding to second unit
Jordan won't start Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Jordan got the starting nod in Thursday's loss to Detroit but will slide to the second unit in favor of Yves Missi on Friday. Jordan recorded six straight DNP-CDs before Thursday's contest, so the veteran big man isn't guaranteed to see the court Friday.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Starting Friday
Missi is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Missi will replace DeAndre Jordan in the starting lineup, and it'll be Jeremiah Fears, Herbert Jones, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson joining him in the first unit for Friday's game. Across 10 starts this season, Missi has posted averages of 6.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 swats per contest.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Starting Friday
Fears will start Friday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Trey Murphy (ankle) unavailable for the second leg of this back-to-back set, Fears will get the starting nod for the first time since Jan. 21. As a starter this season (44 games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 13.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.5 minutes per tilt.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Out again Friday
McGowens (toe) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
McGowens hasn't seen the floor since March 8, and there's been no indication that he's close to a return. His next chance to return will be Sunday against Houston.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Sitting out Friday
Murray (Achilles) will sit out Friday against the Raptors.
Murray will be held out for injury management during the second leg of this back-to-back set. With Murray joining Trey Murphy (ankle) on the shelf, guys like Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Hawkins will likely see more minutes.
