Brandon Ingram - Scores 19 with eight assists Ingram contributed 19 points (8-18 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Ingram's scoring numbers are down since the arrival of CJ McCollum (22 points), but he's become a more reliable facilitator, handing out at least seven assists in four of his last five games. Since McCollum debuted (Feb. 10 vs. Miami), Ingram is averaging 17.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 44.6 percent from the field. He's been mired in a drought from three-point land, hitting only three of 21 attempts in that span.

CJ McCollum - Guides team to blowout win McCollum totaled 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and three steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 victory over the Lakers.

Impact The Pelicans went 1-4 through McCollum's first five games with the team, but they've now won two straight after taking down the first-place Suns on Friday before trouncing the Lakers. McCollum hit the ground running with his new team before the All-Star break and hasn't looked back. Over his last six games, he's averaging 30.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 3.5 triples and 1.7 steals while shooting 57 percent from the field.

Tony Snell - Modest performance Sunday Snell registered nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six rebounds and one steal over 22 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Snell continues to see meaningful minutes off the bench for the resurgent Pelicans, providing a nice veteran presence for a team loaded with inexperience. Often seen as a player who offers surprisingly little despite playing solid minutes, he has actually been able to deliver some tangible production of late with three straight performances of at least nine points, four rebounds and three three-pointers made. This is not to say he is an add in 12-team leagues but for anyone in deeper formats, he can be utilized as a streaming option, specifically relating to triples and steals.

Jonas Valanciunas - Cruises to double-double Sunday Valanciunas recorded 19 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 123-95 win over the Lakers.

Impact Valanciunas dominated the Lakers on Sunday, racking up yet another double-double. After a dip in his rebounding numbers, he has now notched three consecutive double-doubles, looking more like the player we saw early in the season. The Pelicans have won seven of their past 11 games and have made it pretty clear that they would like to be a part of the playoffs this season. With that in mind, Valanciunas should be a nightly double-double threat the rest of the season.

Herbert Jones - Improved play in lopsided win Jones closed Sunday's 123-95 win over the Lakers with 11 points (4-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes.

Impact Jones got back to what he does best Sunday, taking advantage of a highly disappointing Lakers outfit. After a stretch of three straight sub-par performances, with single-digit scoring and no three-pointers, fantasy managers will be breathing a sigh of relief after Jones was able to deliver on the defensive end of the floor, adding a handful of points in the process. The rookie has surpassed all expectations thus far this year and so while there are going to be some additional bumps in the road, he should remain a must-roster player the rest of the way.

Jaxson Hayes - Battles foul trouble in win Hayes logged nine points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 17 minutes during Friday's 117-102 victory over Phoenix.

Impact Hayes remained in the starting lineup but picked up three early fouls, limiting him to just 17 minutes. However, he did still manage to put up a serviceable fantasy line, scoring efficiently, grabbing some boards and swatting a couple of shots. It appears he is going to stick with the starting five, so he is certainly worth adding in most competitive formats.

CJ McCollum - Scores game-high 32 points McCollum ended Friday's 117-102 win over the Suns with 32 points (11-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-11 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes.

Impact McCollum was fantastic again for the Pelicans, guiding them to an improbable victory over the high-flying Suns. Since landing in New Orleans, McCollum has thrived as the go-to scoring option, having scored at least 30 points in three consecutive games. His efficiency is way up at the moment, so while he should continue to fire away at will, there is a decent chance he regresses at some point, making this a bit of a sell-high moment.

Brandon Ingram - Finds form in victory Friday Ingram ended Friday's 117-102 victory over Phoenix with 28 points (9-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 34 minutes.

Impact Ingram finally got things going in the right direction Friday, helping the Pelicans to arguably their best victory of the season. Since the arrival of CJ McCollum, Ingram has seen his offense struggle. Thankfully, he was able to find his stroke in this one, although the lack of defensive production was disappointing. This is obviously a feeling-out period for both players, so fantasy managers should expect a few ups and downs along the way.
