Trey Murphy III - Shifts back to bench Murphy won't start Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Murphy will rejoin the reserves for Wednesday's contest after a four-game stint with the starters. In 24 games off the bench this season, Murphy is averaging 12.1 points and 3.6 rebounds.
FEBRUARY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Murphy III - Good to go Wednesday Murphy (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Murphy, Zion Williamson (foot), Brandon Ingram (ankle) and CJ McCollum (ankle) are all good to go after being considered game-time decisions. Murphy has been playing well recently and is coming off a 26-point (9-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt) performance against the Knicks on Tuesday, but he figures to see a reduced role with the Pelicans at full strength Wednesday.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Ingram - Set to play against Indiana Ingram (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Ingram has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday despite suffering an ankle injury against the Knicks. The star forward is averaging 19.4 points, 6.8 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in 36.0 minutes across his last five appearances.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Gets green light McCollum (ankle) will play Wednesday against the Pacers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact McCollum, Zion Williamson (foot), Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Trey Murphy (calf) are all available after being considered game-time decisions. McCollum missed the previous two games, so he may see some limitations Wednesday night, though he should still be relied upon when on the court.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Zion Williamson - Will play Wednesday Williamson (foot) is available for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Williamson, Brandon Ingram (ankle) and CJ McCollum (ankle) all got the green light after being considered game-time decisions. Despite a lingering foot issue, Williamson has been strong recently, averaging 25.2 points, 7.8 assists, 6.2 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 33.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Trey Murphy III - Lands on injury report Murphy is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to an undisclosed injury.
Impact Brandon Ingram (ankle), Zion Williamson (foot) and CJ McCollum (ankle) were all listed as questionable on the initial injury report, but Murphy was added an hour later. It's unclear what Murphy is dealing with, but the Pelicans are in danger of being extremely shorthanded versus Indiana.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Questionable for Wednesday McCollum (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Indiana.
Impact McCollum has missed the last two games due to a left ankle sprain, and it's unclear whether he'll be available in the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday. If he's sidelined again, Trey Murphy, Matt Ryan and Jordan Hawkins could see an uptick in playing time.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Ingram - Listed questionable for Wednesday Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Ingram left Tuesday's win over the Knicks in the first quarter and limped to the locker room, but he quickly returned to the Pelicans' bench and finished with 24 points, six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 34 minutes. CJ McCollum (ankle) and Zion Williamson (foot) are also questionable, so New Orleans could be down three starters versus Indiana.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Zion Williamson - Iffy for Wednesday Williamson (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Impact Williamson continues to deal with a left foot contusion, but he's been able to suit up in recent matchups. He appeared in both halves of a back-to-back set last week, but it's unclear whether the Pelicans will manage his workload after he tallied 21 points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's win over New York. If Williamson is sidelined Wednesday, Naji Marshall, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy are candidates to see increased roles.

Matt Ryan - Drains two triples Ryan posted six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 win over the Knicks.
Impact Ryan dropped in two three-pointers Tuesday, seeing minutes for the third time in the past four games. While he has been able to carve out a rotation spot, it comes as a result of injuries to other players rather than his impressive play. Outside of being a speculative stream option, he holds no sustainable fantasy value.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Larry Nance Jr. - 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.
FEBRUARY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Murphy III - Leads all scorers in win Murphy accumulated 26 points (9-14 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 115-92 win over the Knicks.
Impact Murphy tallied at least 20 points for just the fourth time all season, leading all scorers with 26 points including six triples. In what has been a disappointing season, Murphy could be someone to consider adding should he be available. He has played at least 30 minutes in five straight games, producing on both ends of the floor.
