1 month agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Bruce Brown (rest) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Pelicans have decided to take the cautious approach and give Brown a rest day during the front end of this back-to-back set. Honestly, Brown hasn't been much of a fantasy option lately, so his absence shouldn't be a huge problem for fantasy managers.
Jamal Cain will likely see more run in the rotation, but he's not a recommended streaming option right now.

1 month agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Bruce Brown (rest) won't suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday. Brown will have the evening off to rest during the first half of back-to-back games against the Suns. He has played in five games since joining the Pelicans via trade from the Raptors recently. The 28-year-old seems to be taking on a larger role with his new club as he posted eight points, six rebounds, six assists, and three steals across 29 minutes in a 109-103 overtime win over the Spurs on Tuesday. With Brown on the shelf,
Jose Alvarado and
Jordan Hawkins could undoubtedly see an uptick in minutes during Thursday's contest.

2 months agoThe Toronto Raptors have traded guard/forward
Bruce Brown to the New Orleans Pelicans. Brown, an NBA champion with the Denver Nuggets in 2023, was shipped out alongside
Kelly Olynyk and a couple of draft picks for former All-Star
Brandon Ingram. Toronto picked up Brown only 13 months ago from the Indiana Pacers. He ended up playing just 52 games for the team, missing the first couple of months in 2024-25 with a knee injury. Brown has averaged 8.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in the current campaign. A move to New Orleans might boost his numbers, as the Pelicans have battled injuries throughout the season. Brown is on a $23 million expiring contract.

Bruce Brown (face) will play against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. After being hit in the face during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Bruce did not practice on Monday and entered Tuesday with a questionable designation. However, he has been cleared for action. With
RJ Barrett (concussion) unavailable, Brown could see a few extra shifts in the rotation. The veteran is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 19.9 minutes this season.
