Brandon Boston Jr. - Intriguing performance FridayBoston posted 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 125-118 victory over the Pacers.
ImpactBoston came from nowhere to score a season-high 14 points, taking advantage of the fact the Pelicans are without a number of key components. Having struggled to carve out a consistent role throughout his career, Boston may be about to embark on a crucial multi-game stretch. The Pelicans roster is likely to remain as is for at least the next week, opening up some minutes for the likes of Boston. He is someone who should be monitored just in case the talent finally shows through.

T.J. McConnell - Delivers nine dimes in lossMcConnell closed with 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Friday's 125-118 loss to the Pelicans.
ImpactMcConnell did his thing Friday, providing adequate assist and steal numbers. With Andrew Nembhard sidelined due to a knee injury, McConnell was afforded a slightly longer leash. Should Nembhard continue to miss games, McConnell could be a sneaky addition, albeit offering value in only a couple of categories.
