  • Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Questionable for Friday

    Hawkins (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Boston.

    Hawkins is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a non-COVID illness. If the second-year pro is sidelined once again, Brandon Boston and Javonte Green are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

  • Pelicans' Daniel Theis: Doubtful for Friday

    Theis (thumb) has been listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics.

    Theis is having a less-than-stellar season in a bench role with the Pelicans. The veteran big man is averaging a career-low 4.3 points to go along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.3 minutes per game. From a fantasy perspective, he hasn't made a big impact during the 2024-25 campaign.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Probable for Friday

    Murray (finger) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Celtics.

    Murray may continue to play through his finger and elbow injuries. He's been listed as probable for Friday's game against the defending NBA champions. The injuries don't seem to bother him too much, as he's coming off an impressive performance in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans, finishing with 27 points, five rebounds, and six assists.

  • Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Rejoins rotation

    Boston registered 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and four steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 loss to the Mavericks.

    Boston hadn't received any playing time in each of New Orleans' previous five contests but logged 21 minutes against Dallas. This was likely primarily due to the absence of Jordan Hawkins (illness). With Boston already playing 40 of the 50 allowed NBA games as a two-way player, he will likely be used sparingly moving forward unless he's converted to a standard deal.

  • Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Leads all scorers despite loss

    Murphy amassed 32 points (13-17 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 loss to the Mavericks.

    Murphy continues to serve as arguably the Pelicans best player, scoring at least 20 points for the seventh time in his past 10 appearances. A lengthy ankle-related injury to Brandon Ingram has afforded Murphy a regular starting spot. Over the past month, he has delivered outstanding numbers, putting up 23.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.1 three-pointers and 2.4 combined steals and blocks in 37.2 minutes per game.

  • Pelicans' Yves Missi: Fails to score in loss

    Missi totaled zero points (0-4 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 loss to the Mavericks.

    Missi failed to score for the second straight game, although he did manage to contribute four blocks. As the Pelicans start to get healthy, Missi's opportunities have reduced regarding touches when he is on the floor. His role as the starter appears relatively safe, but as we have seen recently, that will not always translate into tangible offensive production.

  • Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Won't play Wednesday

    Hawkins will not play Wednesday against the Mavericks due to a non-COVID-related illness.

    Hawkins was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after feeling under the weather after waking up overnight. His next chance to play comes Friday against Boston. With Hawkins unavailable, the Pelicans could turn to Javonte Green and Jose Alvarado to pick up some extra minutes, and/or reopen a spot in the rotation for Brandon Boston.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Upgraded to available

    Murray (finger) is available for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

    Probable tags have become the norm for Murray as he manages a finger sprain and some swelling in his right elbow. He fared well in Monday's loss to Toronto, finishing with 21 points (5-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Probable for Wednesday

    Murray (finger) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

    After missing Saturday's loss to the Hornets, Murray returned to the floor for the Pelicans in Monday's loss to the Raptors. Despite dealing with a sprained right index finger and a right elbow issue, the veteran guard is trending toward playing in a second straight contest following a one-game absence.

  • Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Headed to G League

    The Pelicans assigned Matkovic to the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Tuesday.

    Matkovic is averaging 1.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in 6.8 minutes across his last five NBA appearances. However, the 23-year-old big man should continue to receive increased playing time while in the G League.

  • Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Hits for 22 in Toronto

    McCollum notched 22 points (9-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Raptors.

    The 33-year-old guard topped 20 points for the fourth time in the last five games, while extending his streak of games with at least one three-pointer to 18. During that stretch, McCollum is averaging 23.4 points, 3.7 assists, 3.6 threes and 3.5 boards while shooting 41.4 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Teases triple-double in return

    Murray supplied 21 points (5-17 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Raptors.

    After missing Saturday's game due to a finger sprain, Murray was productive in his return, although his shooting may have been affected by the sore digit. The veteran point guard has scored at least 20 points in seven of his last 10 appearances, averaging 21.8 points, 7.1 assists, 6.5 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.8 steals over that span.

  • Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Pours in 31 in Monday's loss

    Williamson supplied 31 points (13-18 FG, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 27 minutes during Monday's 113-104 loss to the Raptors.

    The 24-year-old forward topped 30 points for the first time since Nov. 1, leading all scorers on the night, but it wasn't enough to get the Pelicans a win. Williamson has only been on the court for six of New Orleans' last 11 games, but he's been productive when available, averaging 23.7 points, 8.7 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.5 blocks while shooting 57.3 percent from the floor.

  • Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Back in bench role

    Hawkins isn't starting Monday's game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Hawkins drew a spot start Saturday in the absence of Dejounte Murray (finger), but the Uconn product will return to a bench role Monday. He's averaging 14.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in his last five appearances as a reserve.

  • Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Available to play

    Murray (finger) is available to play Monday against the Raptors, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

    Murray missed Saturday's 123-92 loss to the Hornets as he continues to battle a finger sprain and some swelling in his elbow. Murray has appeared in 12 games throughout January, posting averages of 19.5 points, 7.8 assists, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 2.2 three-pointers. Jordan Hawkins will likely move to the bench with this news.
