  • HOU Shooting Guard #4

    Jalen Green is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Timberwolves due to an illness.
    If Green is unable to take the court Tuesday, Reed Sheppard and Amen Thompson could pick up the slack in his absence. Fred VanVleet will be available and should handle his typical workload after avoiding a suspension for his behavior toward officials in Saturday’s matchup with Portland.

    Pels broadcast: Zion Williamson will play Saturday
    Due to illness and the postponement of the Grizzlies’ game against Milwaukee (scheduled for Wednesday), Williamson has not appeared in a game since January 17. However, according to the Pelicans’ broadcast team of Joel Meyers and Antonio Daniels, that will change on Saturday when New Orleans visits Charlotte. Williamson will be in the lineup, which means Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will head to the bench. JRE played 19 minutes in Friday’s loss to Memphis, finishing with five points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer.
  • MEM Shooting Guard #10
    Luke Kennard amassed 27 points (10-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal, and seven 3-pointers in 27 minutes in Friday’s 139-126 win over New Orleans.
    Kennard has started two of Memphis’ last four games, filling in for Ja Morant on both occasions. He was outstanding on Friday, shooting 7-of-9 from three, recording a season-high in points, and matching his previous high in 3-pointers. Over the past two weeks, Kennard has provided 6th-round value in 8-cat formats, and he scored 23 points in the last game that Morant played (January 22 vs. Charlotte). Rostered in 21% of Yahoo leagues, Kennard is worth taking a flier on due to his last two performances.
  • MEM Center #14
    Zach Edey accounted for 13 points (6-of-9 FGs), 11 rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks, and one 3-pointer in 24 minutes in Friday’s win over New Orleans.
    Edey finished Friday’s victory with his fifth double-double and a complete stat line, the first time he’s been able to make both claims in the same game since December 23 against the Clippers. While Edey’s fantasy value hasn’t been great this season, he’s proven to be valuable in the Grizzlies’ rotation, especially when on the court with Jaren Jackson Jr. Also, Memphis’ overall depth limits Edey’s fantasy ceiling; his floor should increase in time.
  • MEM Power Forward #13
    Jaren Jackson Jr. tallied 29 points (10-of-16 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, seven assists, one block, and five 3-pointers in 32 minutes in Friday’s win over New Orleans.
    Jackson’s 29 points are the most he’s scored in a game since January 11, when he dropped 33 on the Timberwolves. The Grizzlies’ power forward has scored 22 or more in three straight, but decreased production on the rebounding and defensive categories has resulted in Jackson being a 6th-round player over the past two weeks. However, fantasy managers don’t have much to worry about, as minimal defensive production has not been the norm for Jackson.
  • MEM Shooting Guard #22
    Desmond Bane shot 9-of-18 from the field in Friday’s 129-126 win over New Orleans, tallying 20 points, 14 assists, and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes.
    The Grizzlies were without Ja Morant for Friday’s game, which meant Bane had more time on the ball. He dished out 14 assists in a win for the second time in one week. Bane scored 20 points and only committed two turnovers, making for an excellent night at the office for the Grizzles guard. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-15 per-game value in 8-cat formats. Memphis hosts Utah on Saturday, which could be another big night for Bane if Morant can’t play.
  • NOP Shooting Guard #3
    CJ McCollum logged 34 minutes in Friday’s loss to Memphis, recording a stat line of 22 points (6-of-11 FGs, 7-of-11 FTs), one rebound, four assists, one block, and three 3-pointers.
    McCollum followed up his 45-point performance in Monday’s win over Utah with another solid performance on Friday. He’s scored 22 points or more in three straight, and McCollum has been a top-75 player over the last two weeks in 8-cat formats. That’s one round higher than his season-long value. As long as he isn’t shut down, McCollum should remain a reliable option in fantasy leagues, even if his ceiling is limited.
  • NOP Small Forward #25
    Trey Murphy amassed 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, and one 3-pointer in 33 minutes in Friday’s loss to Memphis.
    Murphy has scored 22 points or more in six of his last seven outings, and he’s been the Pelicans’ most valuable option in fantasy leagues. Over the past two weeks, Murphy has been a top-15 player in 8-cat formats. Brandon Ingram (ankle) still doesn’t have a concrete timeline for return, and Murphy has played so well that it may not matter when BI is cleared to return.
  • NOP Center #21
    Yves Missi (illness) accounted for 10 points (4-of-5 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 30 minutes in Friday’s loss to Memphis.
    Missi was back in the Pelicans’ lineup after missing two games. And with Zion Williamson out, the rookie center could stay on the floor longer than he had been when the Pelicans star was active. Missi provided solid value on Friday, but the question is how he and Williamson will be able to mesh moving forward. With Zion expected to play in Saturday’s game against the Hornets, don’t be surprised if Daniel Theis plays as much as Missi, if not more, for spacing reasons.
  • NOP Point Guard #5
    Dejounte Murray finished Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies with 26 points (10-of-16 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists, and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes.
    Dejounte Murray has scored 26 points or more in two straight and three of his last four outings. However, Friday’s game was the first in which he shot 50% or better from the field since January 8 against Portland. Efficiency has been an issue for Murray, especially since his right elbow began giving him trouble earlier in January. However, he has been a top-30 player in 8-cat formats over the past two weeks despite shooting 40.4% from the field.
  • PHI Power Forward #28
    Guerschon Yabusele recorded a stat line of 12 points (4-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 13 rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and two 3-pointers in 36 minutes in Friday’s win over Cleveland.
    After coming off the bench for Tuesday’s loss in Denver, Yabusele started on Friday due to Andre Drummond joining Joel Embiid on the sideline. And the third-year power forward/center held his own against Jarrett Allen, recording his third double-double of the season. Rostered in 25% of Yahoo leagues, Yabusele has provided 10th-round value in 8-cat formats over the past two weeks. His value depends on the availability of Embiid and Drummond, but Yabusele should be rostered in deep leagues.
