Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Not listed on injury report
Williamson (illness) is not being listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game in Memphis.
Williamson exited Wednesday's loss to the Pistons after 15 minutes due to an illness, but it doesn't look like he'll spend any additional time on the sidelines. Williamson is averaging 21.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Iffy for Friday
Jones (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Jones has a chance to end a seven-game absence with an ankle sprain. If the forward makes his return to the New Orleans lineup, fewer minutes would be available for Saddiq Bey and Yves Missi in the frontcourt rotation.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Decent showing Wednesday
Fears had 12 points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to Detroit.
With Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Jose Alvarado (oblique) both still on the shelf, Fears is settling in as New Orleans' top point guard during his rookie season while Jordan Poole's role fluctuates as well. Fears has averaged 13.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.4 minutes per contest across 11 games this month.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Reaches 20-point marker
Bey contributed 20 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
With Herbert Jones still out with a sprained ankle, Bey remains locked into significant minutes as the starting small forward. Over his last five appearances, Bey has averaged 16.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 29.5 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Continues to trend down
Poole amassed 11 points (4-17 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
Poole continues to struggle to maintain fantasy value with the last-place Pelicans. Over his last seven appearances, the combo guard has averaged just 11.3 points, 1.7 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 2.4 three-pointers in 20.2 minutes per game, though he's shooting 47.2 percent from deep during this span.

Pelicans' Kevon Looney: Rare appearance Wednesday
Looney had four points (2-2 FG) and seven rebounds across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to Detroit.
Looney moved back into the rotation, suiting up for the first time in the past seven games. The purpose of signing Looney remains somewhat of a mystery, with his only real value at this point coming in the locker room. He has appeared only eight times in the past two months, averaging 3.0 points and 6.4 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Limited again in loss
Matkovic supplied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
Matkovic failed to score more than five points for the sixth time in the past eight games, continuing to play as a third-string center option behind Derik Queen and Yves Missi. Although he appears to have carved out a regular spot in the rotation at this point, it is not substantial enough to warrant any real fantasy attention. In 14 games over the past month, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Micah Peavy: Busts out in loss
Peavy recorded 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
Peavy turned in the best game of his young career, setting season-high marks in points, threes, rebounds and steals. With Zion Williamson exiting early due to illness, it was Peavy who filled the void. While this performance should probably be viewed as nothing more than an outlier, it wouldn't be surprising to see him step into a larger role down the stretch if and when New Orleans opts to throw in the towel.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Won't return due to illness
Williamson has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Detroit due to illness.
Williamson was added to the injury report Wednesday morning due to illness, and he attempted to play through the issue. However, after logging four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 FT) and four rebounds across 15 minutes, Williamson no longer felt well enough to play and has been ruled out the rest of the way. His next chance to play will come Friday at Memphis. In the meantime, look for Karlo Matkovic and Micah Peavy to pick up the slack.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Heads to locker room
Williamson went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against Detroit for unspecified reasons, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Williamson was on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest due to an illness, and considering he didn't show any signs of an injury before he left the game, it's possible he's just feeling under the weather. While Williamson is off the court, Karlo Matkovic and Micah Peavy could see an uptick in minutes.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Cleared to face Detroit
Williamson (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Williamson was added to the Pelicans' injury report Wednesday morning, but his illness won't prevent him from taking the floor. Since re-entering the starting lineup Dec. 29, Williamson is averaging 23.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals across 12 games.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Ruled out for Wednesday
Jones (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Jones, who has missed the past seven games for New Orleans, was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. He is getting closer to a return, however. His next chance to play comes Friday against Memphis.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Iffy Wednesday with illness
Williamson is questionable for Wednesday's game against Detroit due to an illness.
Williamson was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after feeling ill upon waking up waking up. If the Pelicans hold him out against Detroit, the team could lean more on Saddiq Bey, Micah Peavy and Karlo Matkovic.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Questionable for Wednesday
Jones is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a sprained right ankle.
Jones is trying to end a seven-game absence with the sprain. However, his potential absence would leave Saddiq Bey locked into significant minutes, while the door would stay open for Yves Missi to soak up more playing time in the frontcourt.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Team-high 21 points in loss
Murphy finished Sunday's 119-110 loss to Houston with 21 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block over 35 minutes.
Murphy scored all 21 of his points through the first three quarters and managed to finish as the Pelicans' leading scorer despite being blanked in the fourth frame. The fifth-year pro has scored at least 21 points in eight consecutive games, and over that span he has connected on 51.3 percent of his field-goal attempts (and 40.8 percent of his three-point tries) while averaging 29.1 points, 6.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 5.0 threes and 1.3 steals over 36.9 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Efficient effort in Sunday's loss
Williamson recorded 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 30 minutes during the Pelicans' 119-110 loss to the Rockets on Sunday.
It was another efficient shooting night for Williamson, who finished Sunday's game as the Pelicans' second-leading scorer behind Trey Murphy (21 points). Williamson has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven outings, and over that span he has connected on 67.3 percent of his field-goal attempts while averaging 22.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals over 31.0 minutes per game.
