Javonte Green Questionable For Meeting With Kings

New Orleans Pelicans forward Javonte Green (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against Sacramento. A sore left ankle may keep Green off the court for a second consecutive game. Green has been a big beneficiary of New Orleans' injury troubles this season, starting in 12 contests. However, the Pelicans have started to get everybody back, making Green an afterthought. He's only had 5.0 points and 2.8 rebounds as a reserve. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl might receive additional work without Green, although the Pelicans frontcourt will also have Daniel Theis back in the lineup after he sat out three games due to neck spasms.

Javonte Green Ruled Out For Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Javonte Green (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against San Antonio. He was already iffy for the game due to ankle soreness and will sit out his first action of the campaign. Green recently had a good spell as a starter on the New Orleans team, but he's been limited to a bench role in the last couple of games. Herbert Jones is fresh back from injury and should soak in Green's minutes, along with Trey Murphy III and Brandon Boston Jr. All three players also benefit from Brandon Ingram's (ankle) absence.

Brandon Ingram To Be Sidelined Indefinitely

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury during Saturday's game. The Pelicans announced on Sunday that Ingram has suffered a left ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely. This is another significant blow to a Pelicans roster that is already is already without Zion Williamson (hamstring) for the foreseeable future. The loss of Ingram should mean increased value for Herbert Jones, Trey Murphy III, and possibly Brandon Boston Jr. as well. Both Jones and Murphy are already playing big minutes, so the loss of Ingram will probably impact Boston the most. Boston has scored double-digits in four straight games and should have streaming appeal with the Pelicans banged up right now.

Yves Missi Will Play Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Despite dealing with a sprained right ankle, Missi has been upgraded from questionable to available. The rookie center is coming off an impressive performance against Atlanta, where he logged 35 minutes, scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Missi has recorded a double-double in three of his last five games, and fantasy managers will be hoping for a similar level of production on Thursday.

Herbert Jones Available On Thursday

According to Jim Eichenhofer of the New Orleans Pelicans official site, forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) will play Thursday against the Phoenix Suns. The 26-year-old hasn't suited up since October 29, missing 18 consecutive contests with a right shoulder strain. Being out of action for a while, Jones's minutes will most definitely be restricted until he can get back into game shape. At this time, he will not be a fantasy factor.

Brandon Ingram Will Suit Up Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Ingram will return to action after missing the team's last five contests due to right calf soreness. The 27-year-old is a key offensive weapon for the Pelicans, averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 33.6 minutes per game this season. His return provides a much-needed boost to a New Orleans squad looking to gain some momentum, and fantasy managers will be glad to have him back in their lineups.

Brandon Ingram Listed As Questionable Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is considered questionable for Thursday's meeting with Phoenix. However, it appears likely that he will return from a five-game absence, as Ingram went through full practice on Wednesday. The team also hopes to get Herb Jones (shoulder) back against the Suns. The return of the two would be a nice boost for an injury-depleted team. Ingram is having a fine campaign and tends to do especially well in home outings, averaging 26.8 points at the Smoothie King Center compared to 17.9 points on the road.

Zion Williamson Will Be Evaluated In Two Weeks

The New Orleans Pelicans announced forward Zion Williamson (hamstring) is progressing well through rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Barring any setbacks and with a tentative timeline in place, the 24-year-old could return on December 19th versus the Houston Rockets. The Pelicans may continue to proceed cautiously and not rush Williamson back, though. However, the team is desperate for help, sitting in last place in the Western Conference, with several injured players.

Brandon Ingram Remains On The Shelf Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is not ready to return to the lineup on Monday against Atlanta. The initial signs were encouraging regarding Ingram's potential return, but it has been confirmed that he will be absent for a fifth straight game. Ingram's absence will secure another start for Javonte Green. The veteran forward has not been a good option for fantasy managers, averaging 7.4 points and 3.5 rebounds in a starting role. With Ingram on the shelf, the offense will continue to run throw CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray.

Herbert Jones Remains Sidelined On Monday

According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) will not play Monday against the Atlanta Hawks as he is dealing with a right ankle strain. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to suit up since October 29 and will miss one more game. Yves Missi has joined the starting five since Zion Williamson (hamstring) has also been out, and he's averaged 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game over the last 15 games. He could potentially be an option at the center for deeper fantasy leagues.

Jordan Hawkins Ruled Out Monday Versus Atlanta

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins (back) has been ruled out of a third consecutive contest due to lower back soreness. The second-year shooting guard has had back issues all year which has kept him out of a handful of games so far. Trey Murphy III and Brandon Boston Jr. will continue to play in place of him and the other injured starters. Murphy has averaged 17.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.5 threes per game while Boston has posted 11.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and 1.6 steals per contest.

Herbert Jones Considered Doubtful Against Hawks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) isn't expected to play on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks since he's still dealing with a right shoulder strain. The 26-year-old hasn't been able to play since October 29, and will likely miss at least one more game. Yves Missi has joined the starting five since Zion Williamson (hamstring) has also been out, and he's averaged 8.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game over the last 15 games. He could serve as a big man streamer in deeper leagues.

Brandon Ingram Deemed Questionable Against Hawks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) appeared on the injury report again as questionable while he still suffers from tendonitis in his calf. He's been forced to miss the last four consecutive games with the same issue. If he's downgraded to out again on Monday, Trey Murphy III and Javonte Green should see a big boost in minutes. Murphy would be the stronger option as a normal starter. Green has only averaged 7.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game across 10 starts.

Herbert Jones Will Remain Out On Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (shoulder) has been trending in the right direction but he's not quite ready to appear in a game. While he's taken part in some of the non-contact parts of practice, his shoulder hasn't been cleared to give it a full go. The team has ruled him out for Sunday against the New York Knicks, but a return could finally be closing in. While he remains sidelined along with Brandon Ingram (calf) and Jordan Hawkins (back), Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. should keep getting some added minutes.

Jordan Hawkins Will Be Sidelined Sunday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins (back) has been ruled out for the game against the New York Knicks on Sunday. The 22-year-old has been dealing with back issues during the early goings of this season which has caused him to miss 10 games and counting. In his place, CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray will see heavier minutes as the starters. Javonte Green and Elfrid Payton should also see added opportunities.

Brandon Ingram Ruled Out Against Knicks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Knicks, which will be his fourth consecutive game on the sidelines. Ingram is dealing with tendonitis in his calf, so it seems this is an injury based on pain threshold. Since Jordan Hawkins (back) and Herbert Jones (shoulder) are both out as well, Trey Murphy III, Javonte Green, and Brandon Boston Jr. should all get more playing time.

Trey Murphy III Questionable On Friday With Knee Issue

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Trey Murphy III (knee) has been tagged as questionable for the contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's working through a knee contusion right now which caused him to miss their last game on Wednesday. Murphy along with three other Pelicans including Brandon Ingram (calf) and Jordan Hawkins (back) are all questionable, so the lineup could turn out to be very thin. If any of the three are ruled out, Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. could serve as streaming options.

Brandon Ingram Questionable Versus Grizzlies

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) is in danger of missing a third consecutive contest while ailing from soreness in his right calf. The Pelicans are in the midst of a six-game losing streak while they struggle to stay healthy. Ingram has missed three games in that stretch but remains a solid fantasy asset if he does get upgraded from questionable. On the other hand, Brandon Boston Jr. and Javonte Green could be streaming options if Trey Murphy III (knee) and Jordan Hawkins (back) also have to miss the game.

Jordan Hawkins Uncertain On Friday Against Grizzlies

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jordan Hawkins (back) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies with back soreness. He's one of four Pelicans listed as questionable, so they could be in for a very thin lineup if everyone has to be sidelined. If that's the case, Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. would both continue to be streamable names for fantasy managers in need.

Brandon Ingram Ruled Out On Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) won't play in Wednesday's contest versus Toronto. The veteran is battling a sore calf, so he'll miss his second-straight game. Fortunately for New Orleans, Dejounte Murray (hand) is active after missing over a month, so that will help lessen the blow. There's also room for Javonte Green and Brandon Boston Jr. to remain involved, although their fantasy ceilings are lower with Murray and CJ McCollum on the floor.
