Devonte' Graham - Shifting to bench with Ingram backGraham will move to the bench for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Pelicans broadcaster Erin Summers reports.

ImpactAfter starting his last seven appearances, Graham will head back to the bench as the Pels welcome back Brandon Ingram from a hamstring injury. Coach Willie Green will revert to starting CJ McCollum at point guard alongside Ingram, Herbert Jones, Jaxson Hayes and Jonas Valanciunas. Graham is coming off of an especially poor showing in Saturday night's loss to the Spurs, which he finished with just six points (2-10 FG) and two assists in 28 minutes. Prior to that, however, he posted 30 points and five threes in a win over Chicago.

Jonas Valanciunas - Good to go SundayValanciunas (foot) will be available Sunday against the Lakers.

ImpactAll three of Valanciunas, Brandon Ingram (hamstring) and CJ McCollum (ankle) will be available as the Pelicans finish out a back-to-back. Valanciunas finished Saturday's loss to the Spurs with 18 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and one block for his seventh consecutive double-double.

Brandon Ingram - Set to play, will have restrictionsIngram (hamstring) will be available Sunday against the Lakers.

ImpactIngram will make his long-awaited return from a 10-game absence, but earlier in the day Sunday, coach Willie Green cautioned that the wing will face an unspecified minutes restriction. Ingram's return is a shot in the arm for fantasy managers still alive in daily lineup leagues, but given the uncertainty surrounding his workload he's a risky play in DFS contests.

CJ McCollum - Available for Sunday's gameMcCollum (ankle) will be available Sunday against the Lakers.

ImpactThe Pelicans listed all three of McCollum, Brandon Ingram (hamstring) and Jonas Valanciunas (foot) as questionable, but all three players will be active as the team finishes out the second leg of a back-to-back. McCollum finished Saturday night's loss to the Spurs with 32 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 35 minutes.

Brandon Ingram - Will play under minutes restrictionPelicans head coach Willie Green said Ingram (hamstring) will "more than likely" play Sunday against the Lakers, but he will be on a minutes restriction, Kyle Goon of The Orange Co...

ImpactIngram has missed 10 straight games due to a hamstring strain, but as expected, he will likely return to the rotation Sunday. It's unclear how big of a role he will have against Los Angeles but any restriction to his minutes makes him a difficult fantasy option to trust.

Larry Nance Jr. - Ruled out SundayNance (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

ImpactNance was doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup, so his status doesn't come as a significant surprise. Naji Marshall and Herbert Jones should see additional run against the Lakers.
