GAME LOG

Jonas Valanciunas - Double-double in loss to Spurs Valanciunas amassed 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 107-103 loss to the Spurs.
Impact In a battle of former Raptor centers, Valanciunas and Jakob Poeltl both delivered solid numbers, but the rest of the Spurs gave their big man more help. Valanciunas extended his double-double streak to seven games with the performance, and he's averaging 21.3 points, 13.4 boards, 3.6 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 threes over that stretch.

Jose Alvarado - Big game off bench against Spurs Alvarado closed Saturday's 107-103 loss to the Spurs with 23 points (10-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes off the benc...
Impact Unfortunately for the Pelicans, Alvarado didn't just lead the second unit, he just about was the entire unit as the rest of the New Orleans bench combined for only 15 points. That's a figure the rookie has supplied on his own in four of the last seven games, averaging 12.4 points, 5.7 assists, 3.3 boards, 2.4 steals and 1.1 threes over that stretch.
MARCH 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Game-high 32 not enough Saturday McCollum registered a game-high 32 points (12-25 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-103 loss to the Spur...
Impact The two teams featured entirely different philosophies on offense in this one -- while all five Spurs starters, and seven San Antonio players in total, scored in double digits, McCollum was one of only three Pelicans to contribute more than six points. The veteran guard has dropped at least 25 points in four straight games and 20-plus in 10 straight, averaging 26.2 points, 6.9 assists, 4.2 boards, 2.6 threes and 1.0 steals over that latter stretch.

Brandon Ingram - Ruled out for Saturday Ingram (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's game against the Spurs, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Ingram was initially deemed questionable for the contest, but things must not have improved enough over the last 24 hours for him to give it ago. The initial questionable tag is at least a signal that the 24-year-old is drawing closer to a return.
MARCH 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Ingram - Questionable Saturday Ingram (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday's game against San Antonio.
Impact Ingram has missed the last nine games and was limited at practice Wednesday, but he's been trending in the right direction recently and will have a chance to return for the first half of a back-to-back set Saturday. Even if he's available against the Spurs, it's possible that Ingram will be on a minutes restriction following his lengthy absence.

Larry Nance Jr. - Limited run in return Nance (knee) totaled nine points (3-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Thursday's 126-109 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Playing his first game for the Pelicans and seeing his first action since Jan. 5, Nance was understandably given a fairly light workload in his return from knee surgery. The veteran big will likely see a similar role for the remainder of the season, but he could put some pressure on Jaxson Hayes for minutes at power forward if Nance rounds into form quickly.
MARCH 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jose Alvarado - Pops for 15 off bench Alvarado finished Thursday's 126-109 victory over the Bulls with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, seven assists and three steals in 30 minutes off the bench.
Impact The rookie guard continues to flash, scoring at least 15 points for the third time in the last six games while recording at least three steals for the sixth time in the last 11. Alvarado's overall game remains inconsistent, but he's proving to be useful in deeper fantasy formats, averaging 8.5 points, 4.5 assists, 2.7 boards, 2.3 steals and 1.0 threes in 21.7 minutes over that 11-game stretch.
MARCH 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Valanciunas - Big double-double in win Valanciunas notched 16 points (5-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 19 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 126-109 victory over the Bulls.
Impact The double-double was his sixth straight and 46th of the season, leaving Valanciunas four shy of establishing a new career high while tying him for second in the NBA in that category alongside Rudy Gobert and Domantas Sabonis. Valanciunas is averaging 21.8 points, 13.8 boards, 3.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks over that six-game stretch as he wraps up an impressive first season with the Pelicans and tries to make sure they don't fall out of a spot in the play-in tournament.
MARCH 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Pours in 25 in win McCollum finished Thursday's 126-109 victory over the Bulls with 25 points (10-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes.
Impact The former Trail Blazer continues to thrive with his new club. McCollum has scored at least 20 points in nine straight starts despite missing a couple games in the middle of that stretch while in the COVID-19 protocols, and in 17 contests since joining the Pelicans, he's averaging 26.1 points, 6.6 assists, 4.9 boards. 2.8 threes and 1.2 steals.
MARCH 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Devonte' Graham - Season-high 30 in win over Bulls Graham contributed 30 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 9-9 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 126-109 win over Chicago.
Impact The fourth-year guard managed only 11 points in his prior two games, but Graham bounced back in fantastic fashion Thursday as he set a new season high with 30 points. In fact, it's the first time he's even reached 20 since late January. Since moving back into the starting five March 11, Graham is averaging 13.3 points, 5.0 assists, 2.7 threes, 2.5 boards and 1.5 steals over six games.
