Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, Trey Murphy III Starting Tuesday
2 years agoWithout Zion Williamson (hip), Herbert Jones (knee) and Brandon Ingram (concussion), the New Orleans Pelicans have inserted Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall and Trey Murphy III into the starting lineup Tuesday. The injuries are not considered severe, so Alvarado, Marshall and Murphy will likely just be spot starts against the Dallas Mavericks. Of the three, Murphy has the highest fantasy ceiling while Alvarado should be a good source of assists and steals. Alvarado and Murphy have only started once in both their careers. In their respective starts last year, Alvarado went for 11 points, five assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes, while Murphy went for 15 points, six rebounds, two threes and two steals in 27 minutes.
