Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Good to go Wednesday
Bey (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Bey will return from a one-game absence due to a sprained left ankle to face Denver. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) back in action, Bey should return to a bench role. Still, expect the forward to see significant run.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Questionable to face Denver
Bey (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Bey is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. If the 26-year-old forward remains out, Derik Queen, Jordan Hawkins and Micah Peavy are candidates for increased playing time. Bey has started each of his last six appearances, averaging 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per game during that span.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Won't play Monday
Bey (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with the Thunder.
Bey will miss Monday's game after tweaking his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Warriors, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. With Bey unavailable, Jordan Hawkins could see a minutes bump.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Late add to injury report Monday
Bey (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
Bey was a late addition to the Pelicans' injury report due to a left ankle sprain. The Villanova product has started the past six games, averaging 15.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 31.7 minutes per contest. Even if he suits up Monday, Bey could shift back to a bench role with Zion Williamson (hamstring) potentially returning after a seven-game absence.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Struggles with shot in loss
Bey finished with 11 points (3-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 118-104 loss to the Lakers.
Bey finished just three rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double, so on the surface, his performance wasn't bad by any means. However, Bey had a rough shooting outing, and this 11-point output was his lowest mark in his last five outings since moving to a starting role. Despite the subpar showing, Bey should remain in the first unit and should continue to have a green light to shoot from almost anywhere for a Pelicans team with very few proven offensive weapons as long as Zion Williamson (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Scores season-high 25 points
Bey finished Wednesday's 125-117 loss to the Trail Blazers with 25 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes.
Bey set a new high-scoring mark in this loss and reached a season-high output in assists. The fifth-year forward opened the season in a bench role but has been one of the best players for the Pelicans since moving to the starting lineup four games ago due to the absence of Zion Williamson (hamstring). Over that span, Bey is averaging 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 49.1 percent from the floor and 44 percent from three-point range.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Goes for 15 points in loss Monday
Bey closed with 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.
Bey has started in each of the Pelicans' last three games and has scored in double digits each time. He's proven he can post solid numbers if needed, though the starting role is only due to the absences of Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Jordan Poole (quadriceps). Expect Bey to remain in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers, and while he could be a decent streaming option, he hasn't shown enough to be a consistent starter in all fantasy formats.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Season-best outing in start
Bey ended Wednesday's 101-99 win over Dallas with 22 points (9-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist in 30 minutes.
It was the second start of the season for Bey, who responded to the promotion by posting season highs in points, boards and treys. The Pelicans are likely to continue asking more of Bey until they're able to bring Zion Williamson (hamstring) back into the mix. Bey is working his way onto deep-league fantasy radars, averaging 11.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.8 minutes per contest across eight games this season.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Starting sans Poole
Bey will be in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Bey will get the nod in the first five with Jordan Poole (knee) ruled out. Bey will be joined by Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Kevon Looney.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Steps up in victory
Bey notched 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 116-112 win over the Hornets.
Bey scored a season-high 17 points, stepping up in the absence of Zion Williamson, who was earlier ruled out for up to 10 days with yet another hamstring injury. While Bey's overall game is somewhat limited, he could certainly be in line for more playing time over the coming games. If you need points and three-pointers, he could be worth a look.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Scores 11 off bench
Bey recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals over 24 minutes during Monday's 122-90 loss to the Celtics.
Bey was relegated back to the bench after starting Friday in place of Yves Missi (ankle). Even with Zion Williamson (foot) missing Monday's game, Bey remained among the second unit, with New Orleans electing to elevate rookie Jeremiah Fears instead. Despite the lineup carousel being spun due to injury, Bey will still see meaningful time on the court, regardless of his position among the starters or the bench.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Bench role Monday
Bey was not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Celtics, per the broadcast.
Bey drew a spot start Friday but will shift back to a bench role with Yves Missi (ankle) returning to the lineup. Even as a reserve, Bey should still log meaningful minutes, especially with Zion Williamson (foot) unavailable.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Starting Friday
Bey will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Yves Missi (ankle) won't be available for Friday's game, so Zion Williamson will slide over to center with Bey starting at power forward. Bey should be able to flirt with minutes in the mid-30s as a starter Friday evening, so he's on the radar as a potential dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: All-around performance off bench
Bey dropped 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 128-122 loss to Memphis.
Bey was the only bench player to touch 30 minutes of play, but it is worth noting Yves Missi exited the contest early with an ankle injury. Bey paced the second unit in shot attempts, rebounds, assists and steals, and is expected to be a major contributor moving forward, especially if Missi ends up missing time.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Fills up stat sheet off bench
Bey finished with 16 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 130-128 preseason loss to the Rockets.
Even with most of the regulars playing Tuesday, Bey finished second on the team in scoring. The veteran and Jeremiah Fears (20) combined for 36 points off the bench. After missing the entire 2024-25 campaign, Bey is set to compete for a top reserve role on the wings behind Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Drops 21 points Saturday
Bey amassed 21 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 21 minutes in Saturday's 127-92 exhibition game win over the Melbourne Phoenix.
Bey led all players in scoring, bouncing back after going 0-for-3 with zero points in Friday's win over Melbourne United. After missing the entire 2024-25 campaign due to a torn ACL, the 26-year-old forward has an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role behind Herbert Jones (ankle) this season.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Scoreless in fill-in start
Bey finished scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 21 minutes of Friday's 107-97 preseason win over Melbourne United.
Bey, who missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, saw his first taste of live action since his surgery during the preseason opener. He started in place of the injured Herbert Jones (ankle), and it's a good sign that Bey was able to play 21 minutes in his first game back. If the Pelicans are at 100 percent for Opening Night, Bey is likely to be one of the first wings off the bench.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Says he's 100 percent
Bey, who missed the entire 2024-25 season with a torn left ACL, said Tuesday that he'll be ready for Opening Night.
Bey said the rehab process was long and that he's just grateful to be back on the court. Even though Bey said he'll be ready for Opening Night, it's fair to expect that the Pelicans will be cautious throughout training camp and the preseason as the team builds him back up. Bey is expected to be a key reserve on the wings behind Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones in 2025-26.
