Zion Williamson, dealing with a hamstring issue, remains questionable for Sunday’s clash against the Warriors after being cleared for contact earlier this week. Should he suit up, he is anticipated to be on a minutes restriction. Saddiq Bey’s role would diminish, reducing his fantasy relevance, as he likely moves back to the bench with Williamson’s potential return.

Willie Green

Transaction

The New Orleans Pelicans have parted ways with head coach Willie Green following a 2-10 start to the season, culminating in a loss to the Lakers.

The move comes amid growing speculation about leadership changes following the team’s disappointing performance.

Trey Murphy

Recap

Trey Murphy delivered an impressive performance, scoring 35 points, but the Pelicans fell to the Lakers, 118-104. Despite his individual success, Murphy didn’t get enough support from his teammates, underscoring New Orleans’ current struggles. Over the last four games, he’s been a consistent force, averaging nearly 30 points and showcasing his scoring efficiency. Murphy seems to be a bright spot for the Pelicans amid their recent challenges.

Jimmy Butler

Recap

Despite not matching his previous three-point shooting spree, Jimmy Butler contributed significantly with 21 points in the Warriors’ victory over the Spurs. Supporting Stephen Curry’s explosive performance, Butler’s balanced play on both ends, including eight rebounds and two steals, helped secure back-to-back wins in San Antonio. His consistent scoring marks a positive trend, though his perimeter shooting regressed slightly from Wednesday’s game.

Cody Martin

Injury

Cody Martin is set to return for Indiana’s matchup against the Raptors on Saturday, as he’s no longer listed on the injury report. After missing Thursday’s game due to an illness, Martin’s availability could be crucial, especially with Aaron Nesmith out with a knee injury. While Martin’s role has been inconsistent since joining Indiana last week, the current roster situation might offer him more court time, though his fantasy impact remains uncertain.

Dereck Lively

Injury

Injury

KJ Simpson is expected to play against the Bucks on Friday after being listed as probable due to a shoulder issue.

Jordan Miller made a significant impact in his first appearance of the season, scoring 22 points and hitting five three-pointers in the Clippers’ game against the Nuggets. Coming off the bench, he led the team in three-pointers and played more minutes than recent rotation options Cam Christie and Kobe Brown. This performance could open up more opportunities for Miller in upcoming games as the Clippers assess their rotation options.
