Ingram has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday after missing New Orleans' previous outing due to bilateral ankle sprains. The 27-year-old forward is averaging 23.6 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 34.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Ingram missed Wednesday's loss to Cleveland due to the sprained ankles, though he could return as the Pelicans play Golden State in an NBA Cup game Friday.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Listed out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Ingram will not play Wednesday against the Cavaliers due to bilateral ankle sprains.
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Pelicans will hold Ingram out as a precaution. With the team off to a 4-11 start, this could potentially become a trend during back-to-back sets. Trey Murphy is also out for rest purposes, so we could see a lot of Javonte Green, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Brandon Boston on Wednesday.
Ingram posted 32 points (11-23 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, three steals and a block across 38 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 loss to the Lakers.
Ingram was the driving force for this depleted Pelicans roster, and he posted another impressive stat line despite the loss. Despite the team's struggles, Ingram has been very valuable in fantasy due to his high usage and undisputed status as the Pelicans' go-to option on offense while Zion Williamson (hamstring) is out. He's scored at least 20 points in all but two of his appearances this month while also posting solid numbers in other categories such as rebounds, steals and assists.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Carries Pelicans to victory Friday
Rotowire
Ingram racked up 29 points (12-26 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one block over 37 minutes during Friday's 101-94 victory over Denver.
The Pelicans need Ingram to step his game up amid their injury woes, and the star forward did exactly that Friday against a Denver team that was missing Nikola Jokic (personal). Ingram remains the go-to player on offense for the Pelicans, and he's backing that up with strong numbers -- he's averaging 23.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and a combined 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in eight November outings.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Decent output in another loss
Rotowire
Ingram had 18 points (7-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to Oklahoma City.
The Pelicans have been slumping badly this season, though no one could blame them given all the injury woes they've had in recent weeks. Ingram is the only projected starter who has been available regularly for New Orleans, but he can't do everything on his own. He's putting up decent numbers, averaging 22.6 points, 5.9 assists, 5.6 rebounds and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in seven games this month.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Records nine assists
Rotowire
Ingram accumulated 24 points (10-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.
With the Pelicans missing so many key players, Ingram will have more playmaking responsibilities going forward. He made the most of them Monday, recording a season-high mark of nine assists. He's off to a strong start in November, averaging 23.3 points, 5.8 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in his last six games.
Ingram racked up 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 115-88 loss to Orlando.
Jose Alvarado and Brandon Boston carried a depleted Pelicans team in this loss, but Ingram's overall outing was disappointing. It's not a secret that the veteran forward should be putting up better numbers and operating as a go-to player on offense, especially considering all the absences the Pels are dealing with at the moment. That said, this was the first subpar outing from Ingram since the beginning of November. In five games this month, Ingram is averaging 23.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game while shooting 46 percent from the field. Ingram will aim to bounce back in Monday's matchup against the Nets.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Hits for 20 in Wednesday's loss
Rotowire
Ingram produced 20 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to Cleveland.
The 27-year-old forward has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and seven of nine to begin the season, helping to cover for the Pelicans' injury-depleted backcourt. Ingram is producing at the upper end of his usual range, averaging 24.1 points, 6.1 boards, 4.6 assists, 2.4 threes and 1.6 combined steals and blocks while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor, which would be his best mark since 2018-19.
Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Strong effort not enough Monday
Rotowire
Ingram ended with 27 points (11-24 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Ingram delivered an impressive performance Monday, but as has been the case of late, his standout efforts weren't enough to lift a depleted Pelicans team that's missing the majority of their would-be starting lineup due to injuries. Ingram has scored over 25 points in his last three games, and while the Pelicans continue to rack up losses, Ingram has benefitted from increased usage.
