Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Good to go Saturday
Williamson (conditioning) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Hornets.
Williamson will return to action Saturday after sitting out New Orleans' previous contest due to an illness and a return-to-competition reconditioning. The 24-year-old forward is averaging 22.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.2 blocks in 26.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Deemed questionable for Saturday
Murray is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Hornets due to right elbow bursitis and a right index finger sprain.
Murray hasn't missed a game since Nov. 25 but could sit out Saturday due to multiple injuries. If Murray is downgraded to out, Jose Alvarado and Jordan Hawkins are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Puts up 20 points off bench
Hawkins finished with 20 points (8-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 139-126 loss to the Grizzlies.
Hawkins can get hot in any game, and that's precisely what happened Friday in this high-scoring loss. This was his fourth straight game with double-digit points off the bench, though his monthly average falls to 10.3 points per game when factoring in his 12 appearances in January (one start). Hawkins would have more upside in a starting role, but as things stand now, he's nothing more than an option on deep formats and a potential streaming alternative due to his scoring prowess, but his role limits his upside considerably.

Pelicans' Trey Murphy: Scores 22 points in defeat
Murphy had 22 points (7-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes during Friday's 139-126 loss to the Grizzlies.
Murphy has been playing at a high level in recent weeks, and he's growing more and more comfortable in a prominent role on offense due to the absence of some of the team's most prolific scoring weapons, such as Zion Williamson (illness) and Brandon Ingram (ankle). Murphy missed three games in early January due to an ankle injury but has looked impressive since returning to the hardwood six games ago, averaging 25.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in that stretch.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Solid stat line in loss Friday
Murray notched 26 points (10-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds and seven assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 139-126 loss to the Grizzlies.
Murray continues to deal with a probable tag in the injury report since he's dealing with right elbow bursitis, but the injury hasn't limited the floor general in recent games. He has surpassed the 25-point mark in four of his last six appearances, a span in which Murray is averaging 21.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.2 steals across 33.8 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Expected to play Saturday
Williamson (conditioning) is expected to play Saturday against the Grizzlies, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
After missing Monday's 123-119 win over the Jazz with an illness, Williamson's absence in Friday's 139-126 loss to the Grizzlies was attributed to "return-to-competition reconditioning." The power forward seems to have made enough progress in regaining conditioning to suit up in the second leg of the back-to-back set, though his status likely won't be confirmed until a few hours before the 7 p.m. ET tipoff. Considering that Williamson had averaged 25.8 minutes per game in his four appearances earlier in January following a two-month absence due to a hamstring injury, he'll likely be operating with a playing-time restriction Saturday if he suits up.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Starting vs. Memphis
Robinson-Earl is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
As has often been the case this season, Robinson-Earl is in the starting unit in place of Zion Williamson (illness). The former Villanova standout averages 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 steals per game when deployed as a starter.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Upgraded to available
Missi (illness) has been upgraded to available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
After missing the last two games, Missi will return to the floor for the Pelicans for Friday's game on the road in Memphis. The rookie big man has played well in his first season with New Orleans, averaging 9.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting 56.3 percent from the field.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Will play Friday
Murray (elbow) is available for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Murray has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to lingering right elbow bursitis, though he hasn't missed a game since Nov. 25. Over his last five outings, the 28-year-old has averaged 21.0 points, 7.8 assists, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 34.4 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Dejounte Murray: Probable for Friday
Murray (elbow) has been listed as probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Murray is trending toward suiting for Friday's game against Memphis, even though he's dealing with an elbow issue. The talented guard is coming off one of his best games of the season for the Pelicans, as he came one rebound shy of recording a triple-double, finishing with 26 points, nine rebounds and 11 assists in Monday's win against the Jazz.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Likely to play Friday
Missi (illness) is probable for Friday's matchup against Memphis, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Missi has missed two consecutive contests due to the non-COVID illness, though he'll likely return to game action Friday. The rookie big man has been a mainstay in the Pelicans' starting five, and over his last 10 outings, he has averaged 8.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.9 blocks and 1.8 assists while shooting 60.8 percent from the field in 28.4 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Brandon Ingram: Remains without return timetable
Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Thursday that Ingram (ankle) has not yet been cleared for contact drills yet and remains without a firm timeline for a return to game action, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Ingram hasn't played since Dec. 7 due to a sprained left ankle. Until Ingram is able to fully practice or New Orleans offers a more concrete timetable for the star forward's return, he can be considered week-to-week.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Won't play Friday
Williamson is out for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a return to competition reconditioning.
Williamson was deemed questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to an illness before the game was postponed. He'll remain out for the first leg of New Orleans' back-to-back set Friday, but Williamson appears to have recovered from the illness and just needs more time to rebuild conditioning. He could be ready to play Saturday versus Charlotte.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Wednesday's game postponed
The NBA announced that Wednesday's game between the Bucks and Pelicans has been postponed.
Due to a snow storm in New Orleans, the Pelicans were forced to postpone this game, with several roads in the area closed as a result of the extreme weather conditions. Williamson was considered questionable for this contest, but will now get a couple of extra days to recover for Friday's game versus Memphis.
