Good to go against Spurs Nance (undisclosed) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus San Antonio.

Impact After leaving Wednesday's contest against Orlando early due to an undisclosed injury, Nance is available Friday. The 30-year-old forward is averaging 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 23.5 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Sustains injury Wednesday Nance exited with 51 seconds remaining in the third quarter and didn't return to Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic due to an apparent injury, Will Guillory of The Athletic repo...

Impact Head coach Willie Green didn't provide any further details behind what resulted in Nance's removal from the contest, but Guillory notes that the veteran big man was able to return to the Pelicans bench after a brief trip to the locker room. The fact that Nance wasn't able to return at any point in the fourth quarter makes his status worth monitoring heading into Friday's game against the Spurs, particularly after Zion Williamson sustained a left middle finger contusion in the closing minutes of Wednesday's loss.

Logs 33 minutes off bench Nance provided four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to the Thunder.

Impact While Nance continues to come off the bench in New Orleans, he's averaging more minutes (23.5) through March than the Pelicans' starting center, Jonas Valanciunas (18.4). JV saw just 10.5 minutes of floor time Tuesday night and finished with six points, six rebounds and one assist to his credit.

Double-double off bench Tuesday Nance registered 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 104-91 win over Brooklyn.

Impact It's only the second double-double of the season for Nance, with the other coming Dec. 31 against the Lakers. The 31-year-old big has begun seeing a bigger role in the New Orleans frontcourt in March, however -- he's played at least 27 minutes in four of his last five games, averaging 8.4 points, 5.0 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 25.8 minutes a contest during that stretch while shooting 59.3 percent from the floor. If that workload holds up, he might put himself back on the fantasy radar.

Makes strong impression Nance posted 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and four steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 116-103 win over the Hawks.

Impact Nance started the second half in place of a struggling Jonas Valanciunas, playing 29 minutes compared to Valanciunas' 19. This was Nance's second game in a row with a minutes workload in the 20s, so this is certainly a trend to watch.

Passive performance Tuesday Nance logged four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 win over the Knicks.

Impact Nance was quiet on both ends of the floor, continuing his underwhelming production of late. Despite playing at least 19 minutes in eight of the past 10 games, Nance has topped double-digits only once, adding a combined 11 steals and blocks in that time. As a player who is outside the top 200 for the season, Nance can be safely left alone outside of deeper formats.

Flirts with double-double off bench Nance chipped in eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 96-87 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Nance led all bench players in Monday's contest in rebounds while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and ending one board and two points shy of a double-double in a bench-leading minute total. Nance has tallied at least eight points and eight boards in five games this season, his first such outing since Jan. 23 against Utah.

Listed as questionable Nance (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Toronto.

Fails to score in 15 minutes Nance provided zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Nance was a non-factor in the win, scoring fewer than five points for the fourth time in the past six games. While he does have a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Nance typically struggles to play more than about 20 minutes on any given night. Outside of deeper formats, he should be viewed as nothing more than a streaming consideration.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Approaches double-double in win Nance finished with 12 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 153-124 win over the Jazz.

Impact Nance scored in double figures for the fourth time in the last six games Tuesday, and he came within two rebounds of a double-double in the blowout win. Over 11 appearances this month, he's averaged 8.4 points and 6.0 rebounds in 19.6 minutes per game.
