Pelicans' Lester Quinones: Recalled to NBA
New Orleans recalled Quinones from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Monday.
The Pelicans are going to be extremely shorthanded for Monday's game against the 76ers. Quinones, who is on a two-way contract, has a chance to see ample playing time as a result.

Pelicans' Bruce Brown: Ruled out Monday
Brown (rest) will not play Monday against the 76ers.
After logging 35 minutes Sunday against the Pistons with 12 points, two assists and one rebound, Brown will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set. In Brown's absence, there will be more minutes available for players such as Jordan Hawkins, Antonio Reeves and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Iffy for Monday
Missi (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Missi is in danger of missing a second straight game due to right hip soreness. If he's sidelined again, Karlo Matkovic will likely start at center.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Won't play Monday
McCollum will be rested Monday against the 76ers.
After erupting for 40 points (16-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 loss to Detroit, McCollum is getting a maintenance day against the 76ers. In his absence, players such as Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins and Elfrid Payton could step into increased roles for the Pelicans.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Remains out Monday
Williamson (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Williamson is slated to miss a third straight game due to a back contusion. He's one of seven players listed as out for the Pelicans, while Yves Missi (hip) is questionable. Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Kelly Olynyk will likely lead New Orleans against the 76ers, who are also dealing with several injuries to key players.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Flirts with triple-double
Robinson-Earl ended Sunday's 136-130 loss to the Pistons with 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and eight assists over 32 minutes.
Yves Missi (hip) and Zion Williamson (back) missed the first half of this back-to-back set, but the former could be back Monday against the 76ers. The Pelicans aren't playing for much in the final few weeks, meaning Robinson-Earl could find himself with more opportunities like the one he saw Sunday night. He's worth monitoring closely after arguably his best performance of the season.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Drops 40 points in offensive outing
McCollum recorded 40 points (16-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 loss to Detroit.
McCollum did it all for New Orleans offensively in Sunday's contest, leading all players in scoring and shots made while ending second on the team in threes made and assists during a losing effort. McCollum has scored 40 or more points four times this season, connecting on five or more threes in all those contests.

Hawkins chipped in 25 points (8-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 loss to Detroit.
Hawkins shined off the Pelicans bench in Sunday's contest, leading all players in threes made while ending second on the team in scoring in an offensive outburst. Hawkins set a new season high in threes made while matching his season high in scoring, a mark he last recorded Dec. 22.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Top rebounder in starting lineup
Matkovic contributed eight points (4-7 FG) and 11 rebounds across 16 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 136-130 loss to the Pistons.
With Zion Williamson (back) and Yves Missi (hip) inactive, Matkovic earned the starting nod Sunday, leading all Pelicans in rebounds while finishing two points shy of a double-double in just 16 minutes. Matkovic tied a season high in rebounds, a mark he has tallied on three other occasions. He has recorded at least eight points and 10 boards in four outings.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Starting sans Williamson
Matkovic will start in Sunday's game against the Pistons.
The big man will enter the starting five due to Zion Williamson (back) being sidelined. Matkovic has made five starts this season, averaging 11.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 assists across 30.2 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Cleared to play Sunday
Alvarado (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Zion Williamson (back) and Yves Missi (hip) were downgraded from questionable to out, but Alvarado was upgraded to available, extending his streak of consecutive appearances to 21. Over his last 22 games (seven starts), Alvarado has averaged 9.9 points, 5.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 26.1 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Won't play Sunday
Missi (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Missi and Zion Williamson (back) have been downgraded from questionable to out for the first half of the Pelicans' current back-to-back set. Karlo Matkovic should start at center, but Bruce Brown, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Jordan Hawkins are also candidates for increased roles against Detroit. Missi's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the 76ers.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Out Sunday
Williamson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Williamson has been downgraded from questionable to out and will miss a second straight game due to a back contusion. Yves Missi (hip) has also been ruled out, so Bruce Brown, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Jordan Hawkins and Karlo Matkovic are all candidates for increased roles against Detroit. Williamson's next chance to suit up will come Monday against Philadelphia.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Iffy for Sunday
Missi is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pistons due to right hip soreness.
Missi has played in New Orleans' last three contests but could miss the first leg of the team's back-to-back Sunday due to a hip injury. If the rookie big man is forced to sit out, Karlo Matkovic could receive increased playing time.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Questionable for Sunday
Alvarado is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pistons due to an illness.
Alvarado has started the last two games for a depleted Pelicans team, but he might be in danger of missing a game for the first time since early February due to a non-COVID illness. Given how depleted the Pelicans are, Jordan Hawkins and Elfrid Payton are options to start at point guard if Alvarado can't go Sunday.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Iffy against Detroit
Williamson (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Pistons.
Williamson is in danger of missing his second straight contest Sunday due to a lower back contusion. If Williamson is further downgraded to out, Bruce Brown will likely draw another start.

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.
