Rotoworld Player News

Trendon Watford

NOP Guard-Forward #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Trendon Watford (ankle) is out for Friday’s matchup with the Grizzlies.

Watford’s availability won’t cause major waves in the world of fantasy hoops, but with so many players banged up, more minutes could be available for Karlo Matkovic, Herb Jones and Derik Queen.
Bryce McGowens

NOP Guard #11

Bryce McGowens (elbow) is doubtful to play against the Grizzlies on Friday.

McGowens has taken on extra minutes over the last two games, but he hasn’t been part of the Pelicans’ rotation for most of the year. His absence won’t open the door for anyone to step into legit minutes.
Bennedict Mathurin

NOP Guard-Forward #24

Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) is doubtful to play against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Mathurin is expected to miss a second straight game with this thumb injury. Jordan Poole played 21 minutes in Mathurin’s absence on Wednesday and should provide most of the offense off the bench once again in this one. He scored 14 points in their last game and has upside, but Poole isn’t a reliable option.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy (knee) and Yves Missi (knee) are doubtful for Friday’s matchup with the Grizzlies.

Murphy will miss a third straight game, and Missi will be sidelined for an 11th straight. With the pair expected to sit out against Memphis, Saddiq Bey and Karlo Matkovic should continue to handle additional playing time.
Jeremiah Fears

NOP Guard #0

Jeremiah Fears had 15 points (6-of-12 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, and two 3-pointers in loss on Wednesday.

His efficiency has gotten better in recent games which is good to see. The 3PT% still needs to improve but it’s nice to see some improvement at least. He was one of the only players that could get his way in this game against the Nets, but the Pelicans needed more in this one.
Dejounte Murray

NOP Guard #5

Dejounte Murray has a dud with 5 points (2-of-6 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, a steal and a three on Wednesday against the Nets.

It was a bad Dejounte Murray game where he didn’t even get shots up. This game got out of hand in the first quarter, and it continued to escalate throughout the game. Murray will have better games than this and there’s no point panicking. It was a really bad game for the Pelicans all around.
Zion Williamson

NOP Forward #1

Zion Williamson put up 29 points (8-of-14 FGs, 12-of-14 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, a block and a three in loss to Nets.

Zion Williamson was the only player on the team that could do anything consistently against Nets in this one. It’s great he got to the line as much as he did and he hit most of them. Outside of him, they couldn’t score consistently which isn’t great for getting wins. The Pelicans’ next opportunity to play will be against the Pelicans on Friday.
Zion Williamson

NOP Forward #1

The Pelicans will start Jeremiah Fears, Dejounte Murray, Herbert Jones, Zion Williamson, and Karlo Matkovic against the Nets on Wednesday.

Zion Williamson will return to the stating lineup and Saddiq Bey will head to the bench. Saddiq is still a good points streamer with no Trey Murphy available in Wednesday’s game.
Trey Murphy

NOP Forward #25

Trey Murphy (knee) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Nets.

Downgraded from probable to doubtful late Wednesday morning, Murphy will miss a second straight game. Saddiq Bey started Monday’s loss to the Warriors but offered little production. However, Wednesday’s matchup should be a better one for him.
Bennedict Mathurin

NOP Guard-Forward #24

Bennedict Mathurin (thumb) has been ruled out against the Nets on Wednesday.

Mathurin played a season-high 24 minutes in Monday’s blowout loss to the Warriors, but he had played less than 10 minutes in the previous two games. Bryce McGowens may see a few extra minutes with Mathurin unavailable.
