New Orleans Pelicans News and Rumors Page 235 - NBA

Brandon Ingram - Still not practicing Pelicans head coach Willie Green said Ingram (toe) didn't practice Tuesday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Though Ingram previously said that he expected to play at some point during the Pelicans' five-game road swing that began last Saturday in Dallas, he sat out the first two contests of the trip and appears on track to miss another one Wednesday in Boston. If Ingram can practice in some capacity Thursday, he might have a chance at being available Friday in Detroit. Given that he hasn't played since Nov. 25 due to a left big toe sprain, Ingram will presumably be on a minutes restriction if he's able to play Friday and/or in the final game of the road trip Monday in Cleveland.

Devonte' Graham - Decent performance in win Graham contributed 11 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, six assists, one block and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's 132-112 victory over the Wizards.

Impact Graham had arguably one of his better games of the season. He played only 18 minutes but made the most of his limited time by dishing out a team-high six assists. The 27-year-old has now recorded at least one steal in each of his past three outings, though it's unclear if the backup guard can maintain that type of defensive production.

Larry Nance Jr. - Good defensive effort in return Nance (shoulder) finished Monday's 132-112 win over the Wizards with six points (3-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes.

Impact After missing last game with a shoulder injury, Nance returned with some better production compared to his previous appearances. He took only six shots in 25 minutes of action, but he added solid value with his rebounding and defensive stats. If he can get back to these kinds of minutes, the veteran forward provides great stream potential at the very least.

Jonas Valanciunas - Fifth straight double-double Valanciunas registered 27 points (10-15 FG, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes during Monday's 132-112 victory over Washington.

Impact Valanciunas has seen more consistent usage over the past four games without Zion Williamson (hamstring) in the lineup. He's made 10 shots in each of the last two contests and is averaging a double-double (18.4 points, 12.2 rebounds) in January, with his figures in both categories well up from his season-long averages (14.1 and 9.7, respectively).

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

CJ McCollum - Leading scorer in return McCollum totaled 34 points (12-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 31 minutes during Monday's 132-112 victory over the Wizards.

Impact After resting in the Pelicans' previous game Saturday in Dallas, McCollum returned to action with a bang Monday. He continued his three-point hot streak, hitting at least four shots from beyond the arc for the fourth game in a row and for the fifth time in six games. The 31-year-old is averaging 29.0 points on 50 percent shooting from the field thus far in January.

Herbert Jones - Unlikely to return Monday Jones is doubtful to return to Monday's game against the Wizards after suffering a lower back contusion, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Jones fell hard during the first half of Monday's clash, and while he remained in the game temporarily, he was ultimately taken out for further evaluation. Dyson Daniels and Trey Murphy should see additional minutes with Jones unlikely to return in this one.

Larry Nance Jr. - Available Monday Nance (shoulder) is available Monday against Washington.

Impact Nance was unavailable Saturday against Dallas due to a sore right shoulder, but he'll be back in action against the Wizards after being listed as probable. He returned from a four-game absence Friday against Brooklyn and was held scoreless with eight rebounds and a block in 21 minutes.

CJ McCollum - Not on injury report McCollum isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's matchup against Washington.

Impact McCollum was sidelined for rest purposes during Saturday's loss to Dallas, but it appears the point guard will return to action Monday. Before his absence, McCollum had scored 20-plus points in 10 of his past 14 contests, posting 25.6 points, 6.1 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 36.5 minutes during that stretch.

JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Larry Nance Jr. - Probable for Monday Nance is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Wizards due to right shoulder soreness, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact This is certainly a step in the right direction after Nance missed Saturday's game against Dallas with the same injury. The veteran is averaging 6.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game since the start of December.
