  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Queen totaled 21 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime loss to the Timberwolves. Queen turned in his best performance in almost two weeks, logging a season-high 39 minutes in the process. With Zion Williamson set to miss an extended period due to an adductor injury, Queen's spot in the rotation just became a little clearer. As we have seen in recent times, there will be some wild shifts in production, something managers will have to brace for.

  Queen racked up 15 points (4-12 FG, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 133-121 loss to the Lakers. While Queen did not have a great night from the field, he still put up 15 points and effectively continued his impressive rookie campaign. In his last seven appearances, Queen is averaging 15.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.7 blocks across 25.4 minutes, and has effectively cemented himself as a cornerstone within the Pelicans' starting lineup.

• Pelicans' Derik Queen: Limited to 17 minutes

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  Queen contributed eight points (4-9 FG), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 143-130 win over Chicago. Queen has been generating a lot of positive headlines in New Orleans as a bright spot in an otherwise tough season. He was sent packing to the bench for the start of the second half, however, with the Pelicans rolling with Yves Missi. Unless this becomes a trend, Queen's fantasy managers can treat this game as an outlier, with the Pelicans likely trying to better match up with Chicago's small-ball lineups.

The Maryland product is expected to continue seeing ample playing time on a struggling Pelicans squad, and he has already logged 25-plus minutes in eight straight games.

  Queen will enter the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Warriors. With a new head coach in town, the Pelicans will quickly make a change, moving Queen into the first unit with Kevon Looney sliding to the bench. Queen has been one of the few bright spots for the Pelicans this season, and it's hard to imagine him not running away with this job.
