Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Decent stat line Friday
Olynyk ended with 10 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Friday's 134-93 loss to the Timberwolves.
Olynyk didn't miss a single shot from the field in this game and posted decent contributions in peripheral categories, but he didn't see a lot of time due to the score. Olynyk isn't expected to carry the Pelicans on offense in any given game, but the veteran, who regularly finds a way to stuff the stat sheet, should remain valuable in fantasy as long as he remains in a starting role.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Cleared to play Monday
Olynyk (finger) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Olynyk popped up on Sunday's injury report due to a left finger sprain, but the issue isn't severe enough for him to miss Monday's game. He's coming off a well-rounded game against the Spurs on Saturday, finishing with 14 points, seven assists, six rebounds and one steal over 31 minutes.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Working through finger sprain
Olynyk is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Detroit due to a left finger sprain.
Olynyk may have picked up the injury during the Pelicans' loss to the Spurs on Saturday. Karlo Matkovic, Bruce Brown and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl would stand to see their minutes increase if Olynyk is unable to play Monday. Olynyk has averaged 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists over 25.8 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Excels in spot start
Olynyk accumulated 14 points (7-12 FG), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 119-115 loss to the Spurs.
Olynyk filled in for Zion Williamson (personal) and posted a solid stat line. The veteran big man has occasionally popped with impressive totals since joining the Pelicans, but the standout performances have been limited to spot starts and cleanup work. Although the Pelicans were forced to part with Brandon Ingram in the trade that netted Olynyk, New Orleans also received two draft picks from the Raptors and appears to have gotten the better half of the deal. Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic and Mo Bamba are above Olynyk on the depth chart at center, but the latter remains very capable of manning the four as he did during Saturday's loss.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Not playing Tuesday
Olynyk (rest) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.
Olynyk has started in eight of the Pelicans' last nine games and has averaged 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 25.2 minutes per game over that span. He'll observe Tuesday's game from the sidelines and should be back on the floor for Thursday's bout against Orlando.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Fails to score in loss
Olynyk provided zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 22 minutes during Saturday's 146-117 loss to the Rockets.
Olynyk failed to score for the first time since arriving in New Orleans. Although he has been able to carve out a starting role for his new team, he typically plays no more than about 25 minutes on any given night. He is yet to play in both games of a back-to-back set for the Pelicans, meaning there is a chance he sits out against the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Puts up another gem
Olynyk closed Sunday's 128-121 victory over the Jazz with 26 points (10-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes.
Olynyk is making quite the impact with his new team, and there's no reason he can't keep it going with the amount of injuries in New Orleans. Over his last four outings, Olynyk has earned a long look in fantasy formats with averages of 14.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Off injury report Friday
Olynyk (rest) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Suns.
Olynyk is set to return to game action after sitting out of the first leg of the club's back-to-back set. The veteran big man has started in all three appearances with New Orleans, averaging 8.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 23.7 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Ruled out for Thursday
Olynyk (rest) will not play Thursday against the Suns.
Thursday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so the veteran center will sit out in order to be fresh for the rematch Friday against Phoenix. With Olynyk sidelined, Karlo Matkovic could see extended run in the frontcourt.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: First double-double with NOLA
Olynyk had 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Sunday's 114-96 victory over San Antonio.
The double-double was Olynyk's first of the season, while the 15 boards were his highest single-game total since April 2, 2023. The veteran big has seen a larger workload so far with the Pelicans than he had been getting with the Raptors, averaging 24.5 minutes in his first two starts for his new club, but with rookies centers Yves Missi and Karlo Matkovic both getting regular run right now, Olynyk's ceiling would seem to be capped.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Scores four points in debut
Olynyk logged four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes in Friday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.
After being acquired from the Raptors on Feb. 5, Olynyk remained sidelined through the All-Star break but was cleared to make his Pelicans debut in the club's first game of the second half. He immediately slotted into the starting five, joining Zion Williamson and Yves Missi in the frontcourt. Though he didn't produce many counting stats, Olynyk finished with team-best plus-11 point differential. The 33-year-old big man will be worth tracking in the event he earns more playing time, but if he continues to stick in a 20-to-25-minute role, it may be tough for him to carve out much fantasy value outside of deeper formats.

Once cleared to play, the veteran big man might be able to carve out a rule in New Orleans.
