Zion Williamson Notches 10th Double-Double
4 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson recorded his 10th double-double of the season in Thursday's loss to Portland, picking up 26 points on 9-for-17 shooting and adding 10 rebounds. He shot 8-for-11 at the charity stripe, and his line also included three assists, two blocks, and one steal with four turnovers. The Pelicans are struggling as of late, but Zion continues to crush it on a nightly basis. He can do it against a defensively inconsistent Denver next on Sunday. Brandon Ingram, who shot just 7-for-21 on Thursday, will be in a nice bounce-back spot as well.

Zion Williamson Out On Sunday Night
7 days agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) won't play on Sunday against Memphis. The former Duke Blue Devil logged 28 minutes in Saturday's blowout loss to the Rockets, finishing with a team-high 20 points with two steals. CJ McCollum (rest) will also take the night off. As a result, Jose Alvarado (hip), who is questionable, and Bruce Brown, who is off the injury report, could move into the starting lineup.

Zion Williamson Starting On Sunday
2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (rest) is back in the starting five ahead of Sunday's game against the Utah Jazz. The superstar forward is back in the mix following a rest day on Friday. It was the second leg of a back-to-back set, which always means Williamson is going to sit out. The Pelicans continue to be cautious with the oft-injured forward. When active, Williamson has been an excellent fantasy option, so fantasy managers should get him active in their lineups on Sunday.

Zion Williamson Sidelined On Friday Against Suns
2 weeks agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) will be sidelined on Friday for the second half of their back-to-back against the Phoenix Suns. He's officially listed on the injury report as "return to competition reconditioning," but it was pretty much expected since he hasn't been playing back-to-backs. Bruce Brown may see a bigger chunk of minutes since he's off of the injury report, or the Pelicans could go with a smaller lineup and give Jordan Hawkins and Jose Alvarado more minutes. Fantasy managers can look towards the latter two for a more consistent streaming option after they both posted double-digit points on Thursday. Alvarado even posted three steals to go with five assists.

Zion Williamson Will Not Play Thursday
1 month agoPelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) will not play Thursday night to finish off a back-to-back set of games against the Kings. Williamson played 28 minutes and racked up 33 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists in one of his best games of the year on Wednesday, but the Pelicans still lost their 10th straight game. Despite his recent production, Zion is still not quite ready to play consecutive days. In his place, Karlo Matkovic, Javonte Green, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are lined up for more work on Thursday in a favorable matchup against Sacramento. Matkovic fouled out in just 14 scoreless minutes on Wednesday, but he still makes an interesting streaming or DFS option since he showed intriguing upside over the past few weeks.
