Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Moving back to bench Wednesday
Bey won't start Wednesday's game against the Nets.
With Zion Williamson (rest) back in action, Bey will retreat to the second unit. Over 10 appearances off the bench this season, he's averaged 16.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.9 minutes per showing.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Out again Wednesday
Murphy (knee) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Murphy will miss a second consecutive game due to a knee issue. His next opportunity to get back on the court will come Friday against the Grizzlies. While Murphy remains on the shelf Wednesday, Saddiq Bey could stay in the starting lineup.

Pelicans' Bennedict Mathurin: Late addition to injury report
Mathurin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets due to a right thumb sprain.
Mathurin wasn't listed on the initial injury report, and the extent of the issue remains unclear. While he's not a major part of the regular rotation, Mathurin, Trey Murphy and Trendon Watford are all expected to be unavailable Wednesday, opening the door for Saddiq Bey, Herbert Jones and potentially Jordan Poole to play more minutes.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Now not expected to play
Murphy (knee) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Murphy was initially listed as probable but is now expected to miss a second straight game. If the sharpshooter is ruled out, it'll be his third absence over the past five games, with only one of them coming during a back-to-back set. Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones are candidates for increased roles until Murphy returns to action.

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.
