Larry Nance Jr. Will Remain Out For Up To Two Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (ribs) was diagnosed with a right rib fracture and the team is going to re-evaluate him in 10-to-14 days to determine the healing process and figure out a firm timetable for his return. The veteran forward was playing a depth role off of the bench as he averaged […]

Jose Alvarado Upgraded To Doubtful Against Nuggets

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (ankle) hasn't played since February, so being upgraded to doubtful is bigger news than it normally would be for anyone else. The 25-year-old has been an important piece to the Pelicans' bench and has been a solid contributor in deeper leagues with his threes, points, assists, and steal totals. […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds and Weekly Planner: Week 4 (11/13-11/19)

One of my favorite things about following the NBA and covering it for fantasy/betting content is that the players who matter on a nightly basis are constantly changing and those who stay dialed into these ebbs and flows are rewarded by winning their leagues (or bets) or whatever. We are only three weeks into the […]

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (fibula) has been ruled out of the team's game on Sunday night against the Dallas Mavericks.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (personal) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. The superstar forward sat out of Wednesday's contest due to personal reasons. His absence allowed Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to move into the starting five.

Herbert Jones Considered Questionable For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 25-year-old has been a surprisingly solid contributor early in the season. He currently ranks inside the top-60 in per-game fantasy value right now. That is largely due to his defensive ability with him averaging 1.6 steals and […]
