Zion Williamson Goes 14-For-15
Zion Williamson scored 36 points on 14-for-15 shooting in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. In addition, he grabbed two rebounds and posted four assists and two steals. Williamson was 8-for-11 from the line. He'll play the Pistons on Sunday, who allow opponents to score the ninth-most points in the NBA while shooting the highest percentage from two-point range. Williamson might not shoot over 90 percent again, but he's shot over 60 percent for four consecutive games and should have another strong scoring night.

Zion Williamson Ruled Out Again On Monday
Zion Williamson (back) won't play on Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Williamson will be out of action for the third consecutive contest due to a back contusion. The 24-year-old is one of seven Pelicans listed as unavailable for tonight's contest. Yves Missi (hip) could also be sidelined, as he is listed as questionable due to right hip soreness. The Pelicans won't be making the postseason, so how much Williamson will play during the final 10 regular season games is unclear. Kelly Olynyk, Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely have heavy workloads this evening with so many Pelicans on the shelf.

Zion Williamson Ruled Out On Sunday
Zion Williamson (back) won't play on Sunday against Detroit. After appearing in a career-high 70 games last season, the former Duke Blue Devil has been on the floor only 30 times throughout the 2024-25 campaign. He's battled various ailments during the year. Yet, a back injury will keep him off the floor for a second-straight contest. The Pelicans aren't going to the postseason, so it's unknown how much work Williamson will see moving ahead. But it's not an ideal scenario for those hunting for a fantasy basketball title. With Yves Missi (hip) also sidelined for Sunday's contest, Bruce Brown, amassing 14 points in Friday's blowout loss to the Timberwolves, will probably remain in the starting lineup. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl should also stay in the rotation.

Zion Williamson Available Against Pistons
Zion Williamson (personal) will return to the lineup for Monday's action against the Detroit Pistons. He sat out Saturday's contest versus the San Antonio Spurs for personal reasons. Initially, Williamson's status was also uncertain for Monday night when the team listed him as questionable for the game. However, he has been upgraded to available. The Pelicans superstar recently posted his second career triple-double and has been crushing it. Over six March appearances, Williamson has averaged 23.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 1.0 steals in 29.3 minutes.
