Onuralp Bitim - Officially signs three-year dealBitim's contract is a three-year, $4.6 million deal with Chicago, which is guaranteed for the rest of this season and non-guaranteed for the following two seasons, Michael Scotto o...

ImpactBitim two-way contract was converted to a multi-year deal Friday, although details had been unannounced until Monday. The 24-year-old Turkish prospect has logged just two NBA appearances with Chicago this season, but he is a candidate to be incorporated down the stretch with Patrick William (foot) sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Zion Williamson - Questionable for TuesdayWilliamson is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to a left foot contusion, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

ImpactTuesday's game is the first half of a back-to-back set, so it's customary for Williamson to show up on the injury report. However, he recently played in both halves of a back-to-back set for the second time this season, playing 35 minutes and 36 minutes versus Houston and Miami, respectively. Over his last four appearances, Williamson has averaged 26.3 points, 8.8 assists, 6.5 rebounds, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 34.5 minutes per game.

CJ McCollum - Questionable for TuesdayMcCollum (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

ImpactMcCollum sprained his ankle during Friday's loss to Miami and missed Saturday's loss to the Bulls, but he was a full participant in Monday's practice session. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up Tuesday, but he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Jonas Valanciunas talks turnovers against Bulls, play-in tournament | New Orleans Pelicans

Brandon Ingram - Fills stat sheet in loss SundayIngram closed Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Bulls with 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 39 minutes.

ImpactIngram moved to the point guard role and delivered a solid outing across the board, filling the stat sheet admirably as he often does but also handing out six or more assists for the eighth game in a row. Ingram was returning from a two-game absence due to an illness, but he didn't show any effects in his return to the hardwood, meaning he should handle his regular workload going forward.

Jonas Valanciunas - Pulls down 17 rebounds SundayValanciunas contributed 14 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 17 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Bulls.

ImpactValanciunas is one of the most consistent centers in The Association and can record a double-double every time he steps on the court, as has been the case in each of his last three appearances. Even though the veteran can also produce on offense, he has a secondary role in the Pelicans' scheme, and that limits his fantasy upside a bit. Still, he's having another solid year and is just 0.4 rebounds per game shy of averaging a double-double for the fifth campaign in a row.
