Josh Hart - Questionable Sunday Hart (knee) is questionable Sunday against the Rockets.
Impact Hart has missed the past two games due to a bruised left knee. He's stepped his game up since early December, posting 21 straight games with double-digit scoring and averages of 15.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 36.5 minutes.

Jaxson Hayes - Perfect night Friday Hayes finished with 22 points (9-9 FG, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 113-105 win over Denver.
Impact Hayes remained in the starting lineup Friday, walking away with his best performance of the season. He was perfect from both the floor and the stripe, something that is obviously not sustainable moving forward. However, what might be sustainable is his current playing time. Over the past three games, he is averaging 30 minutes per night, enough to warrant taking a flier on him in standard leagues.

Devonte' Graham - Conspicuously quiet in victory Graham recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 113-105 win over the Nuggets.
Impact Graham was by far the least impressive member of the starting five Friday despite logging 32 minutes. It certainly hasn't been a season to remember for Graham, who was viewed as a solid 12-team draftee back in October. Outside of his consistent production in the assists column (4.5 per game entering Friday), Graham's presence on a fantasy roster is neither here nor there.

Herbert Jones - Offensive explosion Friday Jones registered 25 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 113-105 victory over the Nuggets.
Impact Jones, better known for his incredible defensive abilities, turned things up a notch, going for 25 points in Friday's victory. He fell one short of his career high, set back on Dec. 28. It's been a meteoric rise for the rookie, who continues to thrive as a member of the undermanned Pelicans starting five. Obviously, the scoring won't be there every game but his floor is certainly high enough to warrant must-roster status in most fantasy formats.

Impact Hart's absence will be his second straight game missed due to a left knee contusion. As a result, some combination of Tomas Satoransky, Herbert Jones and Brandon Ingram figure to eat up his minutes.

Miye Oni - Signs 10-day with New Orleans Oni signed a 10-day hardship contract with the Pelicans on Friday, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Oni was waived by the Jazz last month after appearing in 16 games and averaging 0.3 points in 2.8 minutes per contest. He figures to have a small role again with the Pelicans.

Didi Louzada - Undergoes successful surgery Louzada announced via his personal Twitter on Friday that he underwent successful surgery on his left knee.
Impact Louzada suffered the injury while playing for the G League's Birmingham Squadron in mid-January. The surgery was likely delayed due to a stint in the NBA's health and safety protocols at the end of January, but he appears to have tested out and should be able to rehab at team facilities. The second-year pro has appeared in just two games at the NBA level this season -- a byproduct of not being a mainstay in coach Willie Green's rotation, along with the fact that he served a 25-game suspension earlier in the campaign for violating the league's anti-drug program. There's no timetable for his return, but the Pelicans may keep him sidelined for the rest of the season.

Impact Hart was unavailable Tuesday against Detroit due to a left knee contusion, but he'll have a chance to return to the court Friday. If he's held out again, Tomas Satoransky and Brandon Ingram should see increased playing time.
