Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Won't play Friday
McGowens is out for Friday's game against the Rockets with a fractured right toe.
The Pelicans are yet to offer up a timeline for McGowens' return to the floor, so the guard remains day-to-day. Herbert Jones is a candidate to receive heavy playing time and is worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Ruled out for Wednesday
McGowens is out for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a fractured right toe.
It's unclear when McGowens suffered the injury, but it looks like the Pelicans are going to evaluate him on a day-to-day basis for the time being. His absence should result in more playing time for Herbert Jones, while Jordan Poole and Micah Peavy are also candidates to move back into the New Orleans rotation.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Fares well off bench
McGowens had 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Thursday's 133-123 win over Sacramento.
McGowens continues to play a key role off the bench in New Orleans, but he's still a bit too volatile to trust outside of deeper formats. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes per contest.

McGowens is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the 76ers.

He'll revert to his regular bench role with the return of DeAndre Jordan, who hadn't played since Oct. 29, to the first unit.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Starting Friday
McGowens is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Bucks on Friday.
McGowens will make his 12th start of the season Friday due to the absence of Trey Murphy (shoulder). As a starter this season, McGowens has averaged 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.8 steals over 27.3 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Settling back into rotation
McGowens supplied 12 points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to the Heat.
After going unused in seven consecutive games, McGowens has re-emerged in the New Orleans rotation and logged at least 21 minutes in three straight outings. He's averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 24.4 minutes per game during that period, and the 2022 second-rounder could remain a factor if the 15-41 Pelicans embrace a full-fledged youth movement down the stretch.

McGowens played a season-high 37 minutes Wednesday with Trey Murphy (back), Herbert Jones (ankle), Jose Alvarado (oblique) and Saddiq Bey (hip) all sidelined.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Logs 13 points vs. Portland
McGowens accumulated 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 122-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.
McGowens got the starting nod despite being inactive for each of the Pelicans' two games prior to Friday's loss and ended up scoring in double digits for the first time since Dec. 11. The fourth-year guard's role for the Pelicans appears to be in flux, but he should be in line for more playing time for as long as Trey Murphy (back), Herbert Jones (ankle) and Saddiq Bey (hip) are sidelined.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Erupts for 23 points
McGowens produced 23 points (8-11 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes of Thursday's 143-120 win over the Trail Blazers.
McGowens had the hot hand Thursday, helping the Pelicans snap a seven-game losing streak. Herbert Jones was ejected in this game, and McGowens drew the nod coming out of halftime and delivered one of his best performances of the campaign, matching his season-high mark of 23 points. He's been trending up and is gaining steam as a waiver-wire pickup in deeper formats.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Retreating to bench
McGowens isn't starting Monday's game against the Spurs.
McGowens will return to a bench role after starting five straight games for the Pelicans. He's struggled to make an impact as a reserve, averaging 7.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in his previous five appearances off the bench.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Scores 15 points with five dimes
McGowens had 15 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 loss to Minnesota.
This was a nice bounce-back game for McGowens, who was held to just six points on 2-for-5 shooting his last time out. The 23-year-old two-guard will likely be inconsistent, but he'll continue to see a ton of opportunity while Jordan Poole (quad), Herbert Jones (calf) and Zion Williamson (adductor) are out.
