Herbert Jones scores 16 points, swipes two steals

Herbert Jones

NOP Forward #2

Player Stats

Herbert Jones started on Thursday and finished with 16 points (7-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, one assist and two steals against the Kings.

With Dejounte Murray (personal) unavailable for this game, Jones started for the first time this season and made a big impact. The box score numbers didn’t pop, though the two steals didn’t come as a surprise. However, they outscored the Kings by 27 points during his 32 minutes, with nobody else on the Pelicans posting a plus/minus in double figures. Jones hasn’t played a large enough role to be worth rostering in fantasy basketball, but he was able to take advantage of the opportunity in this game.

Saddiq Bey

NOP Forward #41

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jeremiah Fears, Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones, Saddiq Bey and Karlo Matković will start Monday’s game against the Warriors.

The Pelicans are without Trey Murphy and Zion Williamson for Monday’s game, leaving two spots open in the starting lineup. Jones and Bey will fill the voids, with the latter being the better streamer for fantasy managers seeking offensive production.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy III (knee) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Warriors.

Murphy III is a late addition to Monday’s injury report, which doesn’t bode well for his availability against Golden State. If Murphy III is ultimately sidelined, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones could absorb his minutes.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy (knee) finished Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves with 10 points (3-of-7 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block and one three-pointer.

Back in the Pelicans’ lineup after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the Jazz, Murphy played 34 minutes against the Timberwolves. While he did record four of his five assists in the second half, the Pelicans’ forward also attempted just one shot. Given Murphy’s importance to the team offensively, that can’t happen. Murphy’s return pushed Herb Jones (zero points, four rebounds), who had a frustrating night and fouled out in 14 minutes.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Jeremiah Fears, Dejounte Murray, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson and Karlo Matković will start Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Murphy is back after missing Wednesday’s win over the Jazz. His return means Herb Jones will come off the bench in the Pelicans’ only change to their starting five.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy (knee) has been upgraded to available for Friday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

Murphy was given a probable designation on Thursday afternoon, so this latest update isn’t a surprise. Expect Murphy to steal some playing time from Herb Jones and Saddiq Bey.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Friday’s matchup with the Timberwolves.

Murphy sat out Wednesday’s win over Utah, but he’s poised to return following a one-game absence. Herb Jones and Saddiq Bey could see their roles reduced with Murphy back in action.
Dejounte Murray

NOP Guard #5

Dejounte Murray (personal) will start Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

Given Jeremiah Fears’ play while Murray was away for personal reasons, some questioned whether the veteran point guard would start on Wednesday. Murray will, with Trey Murphy’s knee tendinitis making things easier for Pelicans head coach Jamahl Mosley. This also means that Herb Jones will remain in the starting lineup.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy (knee) has been downgraded to questionable to play against the Jazz on Wednesday.

While there is still a chance Murphy plays, trending down is never a good sign. If he doesn’t suit up, there is a decent chance Herb Jones remains a starter, even with Dejounte Murray returning. Saddiq Bey would also be in line for extra minutes.
Dejounte Murray

NOP Guard #5

Dejounte Murray (personal) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

Murray has missed the Pelicans’ last three games for personal reasons, and Herb Jones has replaced him in the starting lineup. Jeremiah Fears has played well as the sole point guard in Murray’s absence, which could force Pelicans head coach Jamahl Mosley to make a tough decision on Wednesday.
Dejounte Murray

NOP Guard #5

Dejounte Murray (personal) is out for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Murray, who has missed the last two games for personal reasons, was added to the Pelicans’ injury report on Monday afternoon. He’s now out, which should mean the Pelicans stick with Jeremiah Fears as their lead playmaker. Also, Herb Jones should remain in the starting lineup.
