• Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Produces 21 points in defeat

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Fears supplied 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Lakers. The 2025 first-round pick has worked with the Pelicans' first unit for most of the season, as the Oklahoma product's services were needed immediately with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) out of action. Jordan Poole's (quad) extended absence has also kept Fears' minutes up. Over 21 games, the rookie has averaged 15.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals.

• Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Struggles in loss to Warriors

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Fears was ejected from Saturday's 104-96 loss to the Warriors after totaling 16 points (5-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes. Ejection aside, Fears had a subpar performance Saturday after struggling with his shot. Fantasy managers should still be happy with the rookie's contributions, as he recorded at least two tallies in four of the five major categories. Still, his shooting woes are slowly becoming a concern. He's made only 18 of his 47 shots (38.2 percent) from the field over his last four games.

• Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Sees 24 minutes in win

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Fears chipped in 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Monday's 143-130 win over Chicago. Along with Derik Queen, Fears was benched for the start of the second half with head coach James Borrego turning to Jose Alvarado and Yves Missi. Alvarado responded with a near triple-double and had the hot hand Monday, but unless this becomes a normal thing, Fears is likely to have the larger pathway to fantasy relevance moving forward.

  Fears contributed 21 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 118-115 loss to the Mavericks. Fears came close to matching his previous career-high mark, a 24-point effort he delivered in a loss to the Thunder on Nov. 17, and the rookie continues to thrive while handling a prominent role on offense for the Pelicans. This was the eighth straight game in which Fears reached the 15-point mark, averaging 18.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.1 steals per game during that span.
