Jose Alvarado - Logs 14-and-7 in spot start Alvarado notched 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Alvarado moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing CJ McCollum, who was given the night off for rest purposes. Despite contributing only one steal, Alvarado did a bit more on the offensive end, totaling 14 points and seven assists. This was his third straight game with double-digit scoring, making him a streaming consideration until the Pelicans return to full strength.

Trey Murphy III - Battles foul trouble Saturday Murphy racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Murphy came up short again Saturday, managing just seven points despite sticking in the starting unit. Early fouls limited him to just 25 minutes, although he wasn't having a sizeable impact even without the fouls. It appears as though he will remain a starter for the foreseeable future, making him a viable asset in 12-team formats. His production of late may indicate otherwise, resulting in him being dropped in a few spots. If that is the case in your league, he is certainly worth considering.

Herbert Jones - Strong two-way performance Jones provided 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and five steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss to Dallas.
Impact Jones was productive on both ends of the floor in the loss, racking up a season-high five steals and 16 points. With a number of primary options currently on the sideline, Jones is going to shoulder more offensive responsibility, at least for the short term. His fantasy value hinges on his ability to rack up steals but any additional offensive production is a bonus for managers.

Jose Alvarado - Starting against Dallas Alvarado is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact CJ McCollum won't play Saturday due to rest, so Alvarado gets the nod in the backcourt next to Trey Murphy. Alvarado has started seven times this season and is averaging 9.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.0 steals per contests in that role.
JANUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Valanciunas - Available Saturday Valanciuans (hand) is available for Saturday's game at Dallas, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Impact Valanciunas could be more involved than ever Saturday, as the Pelicans are down Zion Williamson (hamstring), Brandon Ingram (toe) and CJ McCollum (rest). Since the start of December, the center has averaged 14.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.1 minutes.

Jonas Valanciunas - Questionable Saturday Valanciunas is questionable for Saturday's game versus Dallas due to a right hand sprain, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Impact Valanciunas is questionable to miss his first game of the season Saturday. Jaxson Hayes and Willy Hernangomez will likely see extended minutes if he's unable to suit up.
JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Larry Nance Jr. - Sitting out Saturday Nance will miss Saturday's game versus the Mavericks due to right shoulder soreness, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Nance rejoined the action following a four-game absence Friday, but he will be back on the sidelines Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back set. Nance's next opportunity to suit up arrives Monday against the Wizards.
JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Resting Saturday McCollum will take Saturday's game against the Mavericks off for rest, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Impact McCollum has averaged 27.3 points, 6.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 37.0 minutes over the past three games, taking on extra minutes and usage while Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) are sidelined. With the veteran getting the night off, more minutes should be in store for Dyson Daniels, Jose Alvarado and Devonte' Graham.
