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' Saddiq Bey: Scores 19 in loss to Toronto
Rotowire
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' Saddiq Bey: Plays well in loss
Rotowire
Bey finished with 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 loss to the Knicks.
With this loss, the Pelicans no longer have a chance to make the postseason. With that in mind, it remains to be seen if that will affect Bey's usage and minutes for the final few weeks, though he's likely to remain heavily involved in the short term.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Pours in 25 points
Rotowire
Bey finished with 25 points (10-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 win over the Clippers.
Bey has been a key part of New Orleans all season and has put together a solid fantasy campaign thus far. Through 63 games, he's on pace to return eighth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 17.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.0 three-pointers.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Back on track in win
Rotowire
Bey posted 23 points (8-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over the Mavericks.
Bey got back on track, scoring double digits for the first time in his past three games. In what has been a breakout season for Bey, he had been in a minor slump of late. The production had been underwhelming, but it appears his role is secure, as he has played at least 29 minutes in all but one of his past 10 games. With New Orleans looking to win, despite its record, Bey remains a must-roster player across all formats.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Pops for 20 in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Bey ended Thursday's 133-123 win over the Kings with 20 points (6-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and one rebound in 33 minutes.
While he didn't do much other than score, Bey still supplied 12 or more points for a 12th straight game. Over that stretch, the fifth-year forward is averaging 21.3 points, 5.3 boards, 3.0 assists and 2.8 threes as he puts together a strong first season with the Pelicans.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Pours in 18 points during loss
Rotowire
Bey posted 18 points (7-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 110-101 loss to the Lakers.
Bey's results have been essential for the Pelicans, who are 6-4 over their last 10 games. Compared to the rest of the team, Bey is outperforming his contract, with his $6.2M share representing around four percent of the team's balance sheet. While Derik Queen is a promising center still developing, Bey's play is further cementing his continued role as a key frontcourt option for the Pelicans next season.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Paces New Orleans in win
Rotowire
Bey supplied 24 points (7-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes in Saturday's 115-105 win over the Jazz.
After dropping 42 points in Thursday's win over the Jazz, Bey turned in another productive performance against Utah. Although it wasn't his most efficient outing, the 26-year-old forward still scored a game-high 24 points and finished one assist shy of tying his season high. He has reached the 20-point threshold in four of his five appearances following the All-Star break and could see even more of an expanded role if Zion Williamson (ankle) is forced to miss additional time.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Scores 18 points with six boards
Rotowire
Bey registered 18 points (6-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Warriors.
Bey got his points, but he struggled from three-point range, failed to record any defensive statistics and committed four turnovers in his 31 minutes of floor time. Bey will look to put together a more well-rounded outing Thursday in Utah.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Strikes for 22 against Bucks
Rotowire
Bey finished with 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 139-118 loss to Milwaukee.
The fifth-year forward is putting together a career-best season in his first campaign with the Pelicans. Bey has scored at least 20 points in eight of his last 12 games, averaging 21.7 points, 6.5 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.2 steals over that span, but it remains to be seen what his usage will look like once Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is cleared for his season debut.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Another productive effort
Rotowire
Bey ended with 14 points (4-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to Miami.
Bey continues to enjoy a successful campaign after missing all of the 2024-25 campaign following ACL surgery. The 26-year-old forward is showing no signs of slowing down, averaging 21.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 32.7 minutes per contest in his last 11 games while shooting 41.0 percent from deep.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Carries New Orleans to victory
Rotowire
Bey racked up 30 points (10-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 119-115 win over the Timberwolves.
Bey continues to defy logic, leading the Pelicans with 30 points and tallying at least 22 points for the fourth time in the past five games. Although his defensive numbers continue to be adequate at best, Bey's fantasy appeal has perhaps never been higher. In 13 appearances over the past month, Bey has averaged 20.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers in 32.0 minutes per game, good enough for top-30 value in nine-category leagues.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Puts up 34 points in loss
Rotowire
Bey recorded 34 points (12-19 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one turnover across 32 minutes of Saturday's 124-114 loss to the 76ers.
Bey was a bright spot in the loss, finishing with his second-best scoring total of the season -- he put up 36 points just over a week ago on Jan. 23. He's in the midst of a terrific campaign with averages of 16.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers across 44 appearances.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Terrific line in loss
Rotowire
Bey had 16 points (4-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 104-95 loss to the Thunder.
Considering he missed the entire 2024-25 season recovering from a torn ACL, Bey's emergence this campaign has been quite the story. Across 42 regular-season appearances, he's on pace to return ninth-round value in nine-category formats with 15.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.8 three-pointers.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Double-double in win
Rotowire
Bey supplied 24 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Sunday's 104-95 victory over the Spurs.
Bey followed up his 36-point outburst in Friday's win with a 24-point effort Sunday, tying Zion Williamson for the game high. The performance marked Bey's fifth double-double of the season, with his first four coming back in November. Since returning from a six-game absence due to a right hip flexor strain, the forward has scored in double figures in all seven appearances and reached the 20-point mark four times.

Bey contributed 20 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
With Herbert Jones still out with a sprained ankle, Bey remains locked into significant minutes as the starting small forward. Over his last five appearances, Bey has averaged 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 29.5 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Sharp at free-throw line in return
Rotowire
Bey (hip) recorded 17 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes Tuesday in the Pelicans' 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.
Cleared to play for the first time since Dec. 31 after missing the previous six games due to a right hip flexor strain, Bey stepped into the starting five in his return and seemingly operated without a minute restriction. Thanks to a productive showing at the free-throw line, Bey finished second in scoring on the Pelicans to only Trey Murphy (31 points). The 26-year-old offered little else in the peripheral categories to supplement his scoring, however, and his overall fantasy value and minutes will likely take a hit once the Pelicans get Herbert Jones (ankle) back from injury.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Will play Tuesday
Rotowire
Bey (hip) will play Tuesday versus the Nuggets.
Bey is returning from a six-game absence Tuesday night, so he'll likely have his minutes monitored in his first game back. With Bey back in the mix, there will be fewer minutes available for Bryce McGowens, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic.

Rotowire
Bey (hip) is probable for Tuesday's game versus Denver.
Bey, who was previously labeled as questionable, is trending towards a return. He's been sidelined since Dec. 31, and it's possible he faces some restrictions Tuesday. He's had a tremendous season thus far, and fantasy managers will be eager to get him activated.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Could return vs. Denver
Rotowire
Bey (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
Bey has been out of the lineup since Dec. 31 after picking up a hip injury, but the fact that he's being listed as questionable for Tuesday's action is a sign that he's nearing a return. The team should have another update on his availability shortly before tipoff.
