Rotowire

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Leading scorer in blowout win
Rotowire
Ingram closed Tuesday's 119-84 victory over the Spurs with 32 points (10-16 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one block in 31 minutes.
Ingram missed a pair of games in mid-March due to an ankle injury but has been on a tear since returning to the court, averaging 27.8 points, 7.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds in 36.5 minutes per game over his last four appearances. While he saw a decrease in playing time Wednesday due to the lopsided score, he was efficient from the floor and led the Pelicans on the scoreboard. The 25-year-old hasn't appeared to be bothered by his ankle injury in recent games, and he should remain heavily involved down the stretch.
Ingram chipped in 26 points (12-24 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and nine assists in 39 minutes during Sunday's 117-107 victory over the Rockets.
Ingram was efficient from the field and tied CJ McCollum for a team-high 26 points. The Duke product also displayed his playmaking skills by dishing out a game-high nine assists, falling one short of his second double-double this season. Ingram hasn't missed a beat since being sidelined for back-to-back games in mid-March, posting 26.3 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals-plus-blocks in 38.3 minutes over his past three appearances.

Ingram (ankle) finished Tuesday's 123-108 loss to the Lakers with 22 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes.
Ingram had missed the Pelicans' last two games with a sprained right ankle, but he was back in action Tuesday and delivered an excellent all-around line while taking on a normal minutes count. The star forward has averaged 25.4 points per game while shooting 49.2 percent from the field over his last 10 outings.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Out Sunday
Rotowire
Ingram (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Portland, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Ingram will sit out a second straight game, which likely opens up another start for Naji Marshall and more minutes for Jaxson Hayes and Dyson Daniels. Willie Green said that Ingram is day-to-day with the ankle issue, so perhaps Ingram will be able to return for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Won't return Wednesday
Rotowire
Ingram (right foot) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Mavs.
Ingram appeared to tweak something in his right foot during the first half of Wednesday's game, and while he attempted to play through it, he did not come out for the second half and was ruled out shortly thereafter. Naji Marshall started the second half in his place, and he'll get a boost if BI needs to miss time.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Paces team with 24 points
Rotowire
Ingram produced 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 38 minutes during Monday's 123-108 loss to the Kings.
Ingram was both productive and efficient as a scorer Monday, tallying his team-high 24 points on just 16 shots. The lanky forward did turn the ball over six times, but he partly made up for that by dishing seven dimes -- his highest mark since Feb. 10. Ingram has started off the month well, averaging 27.0 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 54.1 percent from the field and 75.0 percent from the charity stripe through three contests.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Goes for season-high 40 points
Rotowire
Ingram notched a season-high 40 points (18-29 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT) to go with six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 win over the Trail Blazers.
Though the Pelicans have been trudging downward in the Western Conference standings of late, Ingram has delivered for fantasy managers on the offensive end. He's now produced 25 points in nine of his last 10 games, shooting an impressive 50.7 percent from the field, 39 percent from three-point range and 88.3 percent from the free-throw line over that stretch. While Ingram came through with some useful numbers in the steals category Wednesday, he hasn't been reliably producing in that area of late. He hadn't recorded a steal in any of his previous five outings prior to Wednesday.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Cleans up from free-throw line
Rotowire
Ingram finished Monday's 101-93 loss to the Magic with 25 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes.
For the fifth game in a row, Ingram failed to produce any defensive statistics, but he delivered the goods in the three main fantasy categories while also shooting efficiently at the free-throw line on heavy volume. Though the Pelicans have dropped five of their last six games to fall under .500 for the season, a healthy Ingram has at least produced well for fantasy managers after missing all of December and most of January with a left big toe injury. Over his nine appearances in February, Ingram finished with fewer than 25 points just once and chipped in 5.0 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.7 three-pointers per contest while shooting 49 percent from the field and 87.7 percent from the charity stripe.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Posts another offensive outburst
Rotowire
Ingram accumulated 34 points (14-24 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Monday's 103-100 win over the Thunder.
Ingram scored the Pelicans' first 12 points of the game and knocked down two critical jumpers in the final three minutes to fend off a Thunder comeback. Since returning from a toe injury in late January, Ingram has scored 20 points or more in six of eight games, with three games of at least 30. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) expected to miss even more time after the All-Star break, Ingram should be in line for more monster offensive games. He's gotten up at least 20 shots in four games since his return.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Pours in 30 in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Ingram closed Tuesday's 116-107 win over the Hawks with 30 points (11-18 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), eight assists, three rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes.
The 25-year-old wing has missed the back half of the Pelicans' last two back-to-backs due to a lingering toe injury that cost him two months of action between late November and late January, but when he's been on the court, Ingram has been as dangerous as ever. Over his last five games, he's averaging 25.8 points, 6.4 assists and 5.4 boards despite shooting just 20.0 percent (3-for-15) from three-point range. Once he's fully healthy and finds his range from the outside, expect Ingram to really go on a tear.

Ingram (toe) is probable for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.
Ingram sat out Sunday's win over the Kings due to his toe injury but will likely return to action following a one-game absence.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Will sit Sunday
Rotowire
Ingram is listed as out for Sunday's matchup against the Kings with left big toe soreness, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Ingram was left off the initial injury report, but he'll ultimately be sidelined for the second half of the Pelicans' back-to-back set, likely for maintenance-related reasons following his recent return from a two-month absence due to the same injury. The star forward was rusty in his first three games following the lengthy layoff, but he turned in a dominant display in Saturday's 131-126 win over the Lakers with 35 points (15-28 FG) in 32 minutes. In Ingram's absence, Naji Marshall, Kira Lewis, Devonte' Graham and Jose Alvarado are all candidates to take on increased roles to varying extents.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Shines against former team
Rotowire
Ingram supplied 35 points (15-28 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and four assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 131-126 win over the Lakers.
Ingram had one of his best performances of the season Saturday, and this was undoubtedly his best outing since returning from a lengthy injury layoff. The former Laker was everywhere and stepped up his game offensively, operating as the team's go-to guy and leading the way for New Orleans in the comeback win. Ingram has surpassed the 25-point plateau in back-to-back games for the first time since returning from a toe injury and slowly seems to be moving in the right direction after missing 29 games in a row between late November and late January. He's averaging 22.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists across 31.2 minutes per game in five outings since returning to the hardwood.
