Josh Richardson - Good to go Wednesday Richardson (personal) isn't listed on the Pelicans' injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Richardson missed back-to-back games while attending to a personal matter, but it appears he'll be back in the mix Wednesday. He started four straight contests before his absences and averaged 10.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 steals in 27.5 minutes during that stretch.

Trey Murphy III - Shines again as starter Murphy tallied 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks across 37 minutes in Monday's 123-108 loss to the Kings.
Impact While replacing Josh Richardson (personal) in the starting five for the second game in a row, Murphy once again delivered a strong all-around line in elevated minutes. Richardson's absence isn't believed to be a long-term one, and he could be back as soon as Wednesday's game against the Mavericks. Still, Murphy's performance of late provides plenty of justification for head coach Willie Green to keep the second-year wing in the starting five. Even if Murphy maintains his starting role when Richardson is back in action, however, he's likely to see a reduction in the 37.5 minutes per game he's averaged over the past two contests.

Guillory: How badly do the Pelicans want to make the postseason? We're about to find out After yet another blowout loss amid a season-wide collapse, it's worth wondering if the Pelicans even want to salvage this season.

Herbert Jones - Teases triple-double in loss Jones posted 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 123-108 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Jones did a little of everything Monday, supplementing his 13 points with a team-leading eight assists while finishing second on the Pelicans with eight boards. The assist total tied a career-high mark, and the rebound total was his fourth-highest of the campaign. Jones' strength is typically his defense, and he chipped in there too, notching both a block and a steal. He typically won't score this much -- prior to Monday, Jones hadn't scored more than 11 points since Jan. 31 -- and he's really only rosterable in fantasy for his ability to post valuable defensive stats.

Jonas Valanciunas - Posts double-double in return Valanciunas ended Monday's 123-108 loss to the Kings with 19 points (9-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 12 rebounds, three assists and one block across 32 minutes.
Impact Valanciunas missed each of New Orleans' previous two games with a calf injury, but he was able to exceed his season average with 32 minutes Monday. The big man finished with his 33rd double-double of the campaign, four of which have come over his past five games. During that span, he's averaging 12.6 points, 10.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 60.5 percent from the field.
MARCH 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Ingram - Paces team with 24 points Ingram produced 24 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven assists and three rebounds across 38 minutes during Monday's 123-108 loss to the Kings.
Impact Ingram was both productive and efficient as a scorer Monday, tallying his team-high 24 points on just 16 shots. The lanky forward did turn the ball over six times, but he partly made up for that by dishing seven dimes -- his highest mark since Feb. 10. Ingram has started off the month well, averaging 27.0 points, 5.3 assists and 4.7 rebounds while shooting 54.1 percent from the field and 75.0 percent from the charity stripe through three contests.

Impact Valanciunas has been dealing with a left calf contusion that has forced him to miss the last two matchups, but he fully participated in practice Sunday and will have a chance to return to game action a day later. However, the Pelicans plan to monitor him Monday before determining his final status.
