Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Nets 20 points with two steals
Fears contributed 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 win over Chicago.
Apart from his five-point dud against the Spurs on Dec. 8, Fears has put together a solid couple of weeks for the Pelicans. Over his last six games, Fears has produced averages of 16.5 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 0.8 three-pointers on 45.7 percent shooting from the field. Even with the Pelicans getting healthier, the rookie is maintaining strong usage.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Scores 18 points in return
Williamson (adductor) posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 victory over the Bulls.
Returning from a six-game absence due to a right adductor strain, Williamson had his minutes monitored and ended up coming off the bench for the first time in his NBA career. Williamson looked good during his time on the court and seemingly escaped without any setbacks, so he'll likely be cleared for a larger workload and potentially a return to the starting five in the Pelicans' next game Thursday versus the Rockets.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Double-doubles in win
Murphy amassed 20 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 win over the Bulls.
This was Murphy's fourth double-double of the season, and his third straight game with just one turnover. Murphy has been on a tear over the past six games, posting averages of 25.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.8 triples, 1.5 steals and 1.7 turnovers, which has been good enough for top-15 value in 9-cat leagues. Zion Williamson's (thigh) return didn't impact Murphy's usage Sunday, but that may not be the case moving forward.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Drops 20 points in win

Apart from his five-point dud against the Spurs on Dec. 8, Fears has put together a solid couple of weeks for the Pelicans.

Pelicans' Saddiq Bey: Remaining in starting lineup
Bey is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Bulls on Sunday.
The Pelicans cleared Zion Williamson (thigh) to return from a six-game absence, but in an effort to monitor the sixth-year forward's minutes, New Orleans will keep Bey in the starting lineup for at least Sunday's game. Bey has started in each of the Pelicans' last 10 games, and over that span he has averaged 19.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 threes and 1.1 steals over 33.8 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Good to go Sunday
Williamson (thigh) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Bulls, but he will come off the bench.
Williamson, who has missed the past five games for New Orleans, comfortably beat his projected timetable. The Pelicans will likely monitor his minutes in his first game back, but no specifics have been reported.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Game-time call for Sunday
Williamson (adductor) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
Williamson appears to be well ahead of his initial timetable for a return, as he was able to make it through practice Saturday, giving him a chance to suit up Sunday. The team will presumably re-evaluate him Sunday morning before providing an update on his availability in Chicago.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Provides lift off bench in return
Poole (quadriceps) tallied 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 26 minutes in Thursday's 143-120 win over the Trail Blazers.
Back in action after missing the Pelicans' previous 18 games due to a left quadriceps strain, Poole wasn't shy about putting up shots in his return, as his 30.6 percent usage rate paced all New Orleans rotation players. A more efficient showing from three-point range could have made Poole's stat line even more appealing, but he was still a plus-18 during his time on the court. Poole had opened the season on the top unit, but he moved to the bench shortly before injuring his quad and appears likely to serve as New Orleans' sixth man now that he's healthy again while the Pelicans remain committed to giving rookie first-round pick Jeremiah Fears an extended look as their starting point guard. Poole should still see enough minutes and usage to remain worthy of holding in most leagues, though he may eventually have to sacrifice some touches once the likes of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) and Zion Williamson (adductor) return a few weeks down the road.

Pelicans' Derik Queen: Continues to impress
Queen amassed 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Thursday's 143-120 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Even though Queen was unable to repeat the impressive triple-double he notched in the loss against the Spurs on Monday, he posted another impressive stat line. The rookie big man has been one of the best first-year players in the league this season and has established excellent chemistry with Jeremiah Fears. Queen moved to the starting lineup Nov. 16 and hasn't looked back, averaging 15.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in 14 starts.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Efficient in win Thursday
Murphy chipped in 24 points (10-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 143-120 win over Portland.
Murphy was locked in and missed only three of his 13 shots en route to posting a team-high scoring output. Murphy is one of the Pelicans' most reliable offensive weapons and has been on fire of late. Since returning from a two-game absence Dec. 2, he's averaging 26.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game over his last five contests.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Fears: Goes for 19 points in win
Fears contributed 19 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 143-120 win over Portland.
Fears bounced back from the five-point dud he posted against the Spurs on Monday and delivered an outing that's a bit more in line with what he's produced steadily throughout the season. The rookie floor general is averaging 15.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game over his last 10 games.

Pelicans' Bryce McGowens: Erupts for 23 points
McGowens produced 23 points (8-11 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes of Thursday's 143-120 win over the Trail Blazers.
McGowens had the hot hand Thursday, helping the Pelicans snap a seven-game losing streak. Herbert Jones was ejected in this game, and McGowens drew the nod coming out of halftime and delivered one of his best performances of the campaign, matching his season-high mark of 23 points. He's been trending up and is gaining steam as a waiver-wire pickup in deeper formats.

Pelicans' Herbert Jones: Ejected vs. Portland
Jones was ejected from Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers after being assessed two technical fouls, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports. He'll finish the night with four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 14 minutes.
Jones picked up two technical fouls after arguing a foul call that went against him at the end of the first half. His ejection will open the door for Bryce McGowens to see an uptick in minutes the rest of the way Thursday.

Pelicans' Jordan Poole: Will go Thursday
Poole (quadriceps) is available for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Poole will play for the first time since Nov. 4 after putting a left quad strain behind him. He figures to be on some type of minutes restriction Thursday as the team eases him back into game action, though it's unclear as to what that limit might look like.
