Player Stats

Pelicans re-signed DeAndre Jordan to a two-year contract.

Jordan, who turns 38 in July, will return to New Orleans for his 19th NBA season. Contract terms weren’t disclosed initially, but it was later revealed that it is a two-year deal for the veteran’s minimum. Jordan appeared in only 12 games for the Pelicans last season. He offers bench depth and a veteran presence at this point in his career.

Herbert Jones

NOP Forward #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jeremiah Fears, Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson and Karlo Matković will start against the Kings on Thursday.

With Dejounte Murray (personal) sidelined for this game, Jones will step into the starting unit. His role this season has been minimal, but he should benefit from the expanded opportunity in this game. However, this may just be a one-game boost. The other change to the starting unit is Matković replacing DeAndre Jordan, which will make this Matković’s first start.
DeAndre Jordan

NOP Center #6

Jeremiah Fears, Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson and DeAndre Jordan will start Saturday’s game against the Nuggets.

With Yves Missi suffering a bone bruise in his knee during Friday’s loss to the Jazz, the Pelicans had a hole to fill at center. Instead of Derik Queen, Jordan will fill the void. While an interesting choice, Jordan offers better defense than Queen.
DeAndre Jordan

NOP Center #6

Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williamson and DeAndre Jordan will start Thursday’s game against the Pistons.

While Murray is good to go, the Pelicans will not have Trey Murphy for Thursday’s game. He has been replaced in the lineup by Jordan, who offers a little more muscle to deal with Jalen Duren.
Dejounte Murray

NOP Guard #5

Dejounte Murray (Achilles) is out for Thursday’s game against the Kings.

Murray will sit out Thursday’s game for injury management reasons, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. The Pelicans could go back to DeAndre Jordan, who moved into the starting lineup a few games before Murray made his season debut.
Zion Williamson

NOP Forward #1

Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, Saddiq Bey and Zion Williamson will start Tuesday’s game against the Lakers.

With Williamson returning to action after a one-game absence, the Pelicans will begin Tuesday’s contest without a legitimate center. DeAndre Jordan heads to the bench, while Saddiq Bey continues to start. Given how well Bey has played this season, it would have been extremely difficult to remove him from the starting five.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy (shoulder) is available for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Murphy is back after missing the last five games with a right shoulder contusion. Sunday’s game will be the first this season that he and Dejounte Murray (Achilles) have played together. If Zion Williamson (ankle) can’t play, Saddiq Bey and DeAndre Jordan should remain in the starting lineup. One will likely head to the bench if Zion plays.
Yves Missi

NOP Center #21

Yves Missi (calf) is questionable for Friday’s game against the Jazz.

Missi has not appeared in a game since February 9, with the second-year center being sidelined by a strained left calf. If he can play on Saturday, that could result in fewer minutes for DeAndre Jordan, but Missi is likely to be under a minutes restriction.
Yves Missi

NOP Center #21

Yves Missi (calf) is out for Thursday’s game against the Jazz.

Missi has been out since February 9 due to a strained left calf. His continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it has freed up a few minutes for DeAndre Jordan and Karlo Matković.
Dejounte Murray

NOP Guard #5

Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey, Zion Williamson and DeAndre Jordan will start Tuesday’s game against the Warriors.

Murray is making his season debut on Tuesday, and he’ll do so as a starter. He will be under a minutes restriction, so fantasy managers should not expect too much too soon from the guard. Even more surprising is who he replaces in the starting lineup. Jordan will get another start, with Derik Queen being moved to the bench. If you’re confused by this, you aren’t the only one, even with Queen’s defensive struggles.
DeAndre Jordan

NOP Center #9

DeAndre Jordan accumulated six points (2-of-3 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 15 rebounds and four blocks over 31 minutes in Saturday’s win over the 76ers.

Jordan delivered double-digit rebounds and nearly reached the lofty 20-stock plateau in just his second start of the season. It was his first appearance since October 29. The 37-year-old veteran offers some decent streaming appeal as a rebounding and blocks specialist when he’s in the lineup, but his opportunities have been limited with the rebuilding Pelicans.
