Pelicans' Yves Missi: Ties career high on glass
Missi contributed nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 loss to Indiana.
The 14 boards tied the rookie's career high, a mark he's reached three times in the last three weeks. Missi remains an inconsistent offensive contributor, scoring in double digits only once in his last five contests, but he's emerged as a force on the glass. Over the last 10 games, he's pulled down double-digit rebounds seven times, averaging 12.8 points, 11.0 boards and 1.5 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.3 percent from the floor.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Drops 19 against Indiana
Murray notched 19 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 119-104 loss to the Pacers.
The veteran point guard appears to have found his rhythm after missing about a month with a fractured left hand. Murray has scored at least 17 points in five straight games, averaging 20.0 points, 7.0 assists, 6.8 boards, 2.0 threes and 1.8 steals over that stretch, and his usage figures to remain high while Brandon Ingram (ankle), Jose Alvarado (hamstring) and Jordan Hawkins (back) are all missing from the Pelicans' backcourt.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Busy at both ends of court Sunday
Jones closed Sunday's 119-104 loss to the Pacers with 19 points (6-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals over 38 minutes.
The 17 shot attempts were a season high for Jones, while the four steals tied his season best. The fourth-year forward has looked good since returning from a shoulder injury that cost him more than a month of action, averaging 14.8 points, 5.2 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.2 steals and 1.6 threes over the last five games.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Leading scorer off bench Sunday
Boston registered 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-104 loss to the Pacers.
The fourth-year wing led the Pelicans in scoring on the night, hitting 20-plus points for the first time since Nov. 8. Boston continues to have a significant role for an undermanned New Orleans roster even after his shift back to the second unit, scoring in double digits in six of the last seven games while averaging 14.3 points, 2.9 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.6 minutes a contest.

Pelicans' Javonte Green: Available Sunday
Green (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Green will return to action after missing two straight games due to an ankle injury. He averaged 24.0 minutes per game across his first 23 appearances this season and should continue to have a large role, as Brandon Ingram (ankle), Zion Williamson (hamstring), Jose Alvarado (hamstring) and Jordan Hawkins (back) remain out.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Won't play Sunday
Matkovic (back) is out for Sunday's game versus the Pacers.
Matkovic hasn't played for the Pelicans or the G League's Birmingham Squadron since Dec. 4, and his continued absence due to a bout with a low back disc protrusion won't affect New Orleans' rotation. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday versus Houston.

Pelicans' Jamal Cain: Quiet in loss Thursday
Cain contributed one point (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds in 16 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 loss to the Kings.
Cain carved out a significant role with the club early in the season due to a litany of injuries, though he has since seen a decrease in playing time with several key players returning to game action. The two-way swingman has appeared in only two of the Pelicans' last five outings, during which he has averaged 1.5 points and 2.5 rebounds across 13.0 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Fills stat sheet Thursday
Murray contributed 20 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 loss to the Kings.
CJ McCollum led the way offensively for the Pelicans, but there's no question Murray had an impressive showing from a fantasy perspective as well. He finished just one assist and three rebounds away from a triple-double. Murray has surpassed the 15-point mark in five of his last seven contests, a span in which he's averaging 17.0 points, 7.0 assists and 6.6 rebounds per game. His fantasy upside should continue to trend in the right direction since the Pelicans are without two key contributors in Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring).

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores 21 points Thursday
Murphy amassed 21 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 40 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 loss to the Kings.
Even though CJ McCollum was the Pelicans' leading scorer in this tight loss Thursday, there's no question Murphy made his presence felt as well. He seems to have recovered the starting role due to Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence, and Murphy has scored at least 20 points in his previous two outings with the first unit, so expect him to continue having a sizable role on offense for the time being. That shouldn't be surprising given how depleted the Pelicans are, though. Murphy is also on a roll of four straight games with more than 15 points, averaging 20.3 points and shooting 53.1 percent from the field in that span.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Scores season-high 36 points
McCollum ended with 36 points (14-24 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 37 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 loss to the Kings.
McCollum carried the Pelicans in the fourth quarter and sparked the team's late comeback attempt, but he fell short. Regardless, this was an excellent showing from the veteran, who eclipsed the 30-point mark for the first time in 2024-25. The injury problems seem to be a thing of the past for McCollum, who's averaging 22.8 points per game in nine appearances since returning to the hardwood in late November due to an adductor injury that caused him to miss 13 games in a row. Now that he's fully healthy, and considering the Pelicans are without Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Zion Williamson (hamstring), expect McCollum's upside and usage rate to skyrocket in the coming contests.
