  • Bez Mbeng SG | UTA

    Jazz's Bez Mbeng: Starting versus Pelicans

    Mbeng will start Tuesday's game against New Orleans.

    Mbeng didn't play in Sunday's 146-111 loss to Oklahoma City. However, not only will he play Tuesday, but he will also re-enter the starting lineup for the first time since the 133-110 loss to the Wizards on March 25. In three starts this season, the 23-year-old has averaged 9.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 0.3 blocks and 1.3 steals across 40.0 minutes.

  • Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Starting Tuesday

    Looney will start Tuesday against the Jazz.

    Joining Looney in the first unit for Tuesday's game will be Jeremiah Fears, Jordan Poole, Micah Peavy and Derik Queen. Across six starts this season, Looney has posted averages of 2.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game.

  • Jordan Poole SG | NO

    Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Starting versus Utah

    Poole will start Tuesday's game against Utah.

    Poole will get the start for the first time in three months. In six starts during the campaign, the 26-year-old has averaged 18.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 0.2 blocks and 0.7 steals across 33.7 minutes.

  • Micah Peavy SF | NO

    Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Starting Tuesday

    Peavy will start Tuesday's game against the Jazz.

    Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones will all dress but are not expected to play Tuesday, opening the door for Peavy to make his second career start. The rookie second-rounder's lone start came in a loss to Atlanta on Nov. 22, during which he contributed four points, three rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes.

  • Derik Queen C | NO

    Pelicans' Derik Queen: Starting Tuesday

    Queen is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Jazz.

    Queen should get all the run he can handle with Yves Missi (hand) out and Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey not expected to play. Additionally, Queen will make for an attractive target in daily leagues with a favorable matchup against Utah. As a starter this season, Queen owns averages of 12.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.

  • Malachi Smith SG | BKN

    Nets' Malachi Smith: Starting Tuesday

    Smith will start Tuesday versus Milwaukee, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

    Smith will replace Jalen Wilson in the first unit for Tuesday's game, and this will be Smith's first start of the season. Per 36 minutes, Smith is averaging 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.1 triples and 2.0 steals per contest.

  • Jalen Wilson SF | BKN

    Nets' Jalen Wilson: Retreating to bench

    Wilson won't start Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

    Wilson will retreat to the second unit after starting Sunday's win over the Wizards. Over 13 appearances off the bench since the All-Star break, the 25-year-old forward has averaged 6.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 13.2 minutes per showing.

  • Nolan Traore PG | BKN

    Nets' Nolan Traore: Not starting Tuesday

    Traore won't start Tuesday's game against Milwaukee, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

    Traore has been a fixture in the starting lineup since the end of January. However, with head coach Jordi Fernandez evaluating things for next season, Ben Saraf (back), who was upgraded to available after missing Sunday's 121-115 win over Washington, will re-enter the starting lineup, sending Traore to the bench.

  • Chaney Johnson SG | BKN

    Nets' Chaney Johnson: Not starting Tuesday

    Johnson won't start Tuesday's game against the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

    Johnson got the starting nod in Sunday's win over Washington but will slide to the second unit Tuesday. As a reserve this season (14 games), he has averaged 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 20.0 minutes per contest.

  • Tre Scott SF | BKN

    Nets' Trevon Scott: Starting Tuesday

    Scott is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Bucks, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

    Scott will be elevated into a starting role in just his third game of the season, and he could see quality minutes with Brooklyn so banged up. Scott produced four points, eight rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks over 28 minutes his last time out, so he could be worth a dart throw in daily fantasy leagues.
