Thunder's Daniel Theis: Moved to OKC
The Oklahoma City Thunder acquired Daniel Theis (thumb) and additional draft compensation from the Pelicans on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.The Pelicans were previously $1.4 million above the luxury tax, and Theis had an expiring $2.1 million contract, so moving him to the Thunder created more financial flexibility. In Oklahoma City, Theis will compete with Jaylin Williams for backup minutes at center behind starter Isaiah Hartenstein. Theis will likely make his debut Friday against the Raptors once the trade is made official. The veteran big man had missed the Pelicans' previous two games with a right thumb sprain, but the injury isn't believed to be anything significant.

Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Questionable against Denver
Daniel Theis (thumb) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.After missing the last two games for the New Orleans Pelicans, Theis could be on track to be ruled out for a third straight game due to a right thumb sprain. The veteran big man is having a rough season in New Orleans, averaging a career-low 4.3 points per game on a career-worst 47.3 percent shooting from the floor. If unable to play in Denver, the team could turn to Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Matkovic to help shoulder the load off the bench in the frontcourt.

Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Doubtful for Friday
Daniel Theis (thumb) has been listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics.Theis is having a less-than-stellar season in a bench role with the New Orleans Pelicans.

From a fantasy perspective, he hasn't made a big impact during the 2024-25 campaign.

Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Records six assists
Daniel Theis logged four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and six assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 123-119 overtime victory over the Jazz.Theis matched his season-best mark of six assists as he made his second start in a row. He's been a serviceable short-term streamer for the New Orleans Pelicans, but all that could come to an end once Yves Missi (shoulder) and Zion Williamson (illness) are healthy again.

Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Fills in admirably Friday
Daniel Theis recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 136-123 win over the Jazz.Making his first start for the New Orleans Pelicans since Nov. 25, Theis made an immediate impact in his return to the first unit with his highest scoring output of the year in a season-high 28 minutes. Having now played eight games as a starter, the veteran big man has averaged 6.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 17.9 minutes as a member of New Orleans' starting lineup. With starting center Yves Missi (illness) presumably just day-to-day, Theis doesn't appear to be the most appealing cursory pickup in fantasy leagues despite Friday's outburst.

Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Starting vs. Utah
Daniel Theis is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Jazz.The New Orleans Pelicans will be without Yves Missi on Friday due to an illness, so Theis will have a golden chance to make a good impression in this matchup. He's averaging 4.4 points and 4.0 rebounds per game in his seven starts this season, so he's not expected to affect many fantasy decisions even with the change in role.
