Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Questionable vs. Charlotte
Hawkins (back) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Hawkins has started the last two games for the Pelicans but is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against Charlotte due to a back issue. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 37.2 percent from the floor and 33.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Iffy for Sunday
Olynyk is questionable for Sunday's game against Charlotte with left Achilles tendonosis.
The Pelicans tend to be pretty cautious with their veteran players so that a maintenance day could be on the table here. If Olynyk is held out Sunday, guys like Karlo Matkovic and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl could step into larger roles.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Remains out for Sunday
McCollum (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
McCollum will miss a third straight game for the Pelicans while nursing a contusion on his right foot. Jose Alvarado will likely get the starting nod, while Jordan Hawkins (back) and Elfrid Payton will pick up the slack off the bench in the backcourt.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Won't play Sunday
Boston (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Hornets.
Boston will miss his 23rd game in a row Sunday. He remains without a timetable as he recovers from a left ankle stress reaction.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Ruled out against Charlotte
Williamson (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Williamson will miss a fifth straight game for the Pelicans due to a back issue. New Orleans will likely turn to Kelly Olynyk, Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in the frontcourt against the Hornets.

Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Poor shooting effort Friday
Alvarado notched 10 points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 111-95 loss to Golden State.
Alvarado has been assigned the task of running the Pelicans' offense due to the many injuries the team has suffered in the backcourt, and the results haven't been encouraging. Over five starts, Alvarado is averaging 9.2 points, 5.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game. He should have a decent floor due to his starting role, but Alvarado's lack of efficiency -- he's made 37 percent of his shots in that span -- certainly hurts his upside.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Records double-double
Missi registered 12 points (3-7 FG, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 111-95 loss to the Warriors.
Missi didn't have his best shooting performance, as he had a tough matchup against the Warriors' frontcourt, but the rookie found a way to produce in a game where his team looked dominated. Missi has been one of the most consistent rookies in the NBA this season and posted a double-double for the second time across his last five appearances. He's averaging 10.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the All-Star break.

Pelicans' Bruce Brown: Scores 18 in return
Brown chipped in 18 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Friday's 111-95 loss to the Warriors.
Brown returned from a one-game absence due to rest purposes, and the veteran guard continues to make an impact as one of the Pelicans' most reliable offensive weapons -- although on a depleted roster. Brown has scored in double digits in five of his last six contests, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.5 steals per game.

Pelicans' Keion Brooks: Coming off bench Friday
Brooks is not in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the Warriors on Friday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Brooks got the first start of his NBA career Monday against the 76ers and finished with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes. He'll retreat to the bench Friday due to the return of Bruce Brown (rest).

Pelicans' Bruce Brown: Set to return Friday
Brown (rest) is not on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Warriors.
Brown sat out of Monday's win over the 76ers for rest purposes, but he's on track to return Friday. He has started in five of the Pelicans' last seven games, and he could be inserted into the starting lineup since Zion Williamson (back) has been ruled out.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Will play vs. GSW
Hawkins (ankle) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Warriors.
Hawkins has been dealing with an ankle issue, but that won't keep him off the floor Friday against Golden State. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 10.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game, shooting 37.5 percent from the floor and 33.2 percent from deep this season.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Remains out for Friday
Boston (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Boston will miss a 22nd straight game while trying to work his way back from a left ankle stress reaction. The Pelicans haven't provided a clear update regarding when Boston might return to action.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Out Friday with bruised foot
McCollum (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Warriors due to a right foot contusion.
McCollum missed Monday's loss to the 76ers for rest purposes, but an injury will end up keeping him off the court Friday. The Pelicans will likely turn to Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins and Elfrid Payton to shoulder the load in the backcourt against the Warriors.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Ruled out for Friday
Williamson (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Williamson will miss a fourth straight game on account of a low back contusion. With the Pelicans removed from the playoff picture, Williamson could have more absences in his future over the final two and a half weeks of the season. New Orleans will likely lean on Kelly Olynyk, Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to help shoulder the load in the frontcourt

Pelicans' Elfrid Payton: Hands out 14 assists
Payton ended Monday's 112-99 victory over the 76ers with six points (3-8 FG), six rebounds, 14 assists, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes.
The Pelicans were resting several key players Monday, including CJ McCollum. High assist totals are nothing new for Payton, as he recorded 21 assists back on Nov. 25 of 2024. Payton could earn himself another 10-day contract after this eruption.

Pelicans' Antonio Reeves: Drains five threes in Monday's win
Reeves recorded 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-99 victory over Philadelphia.
The five treys were a career high for the rookie guard, who got some extended run after Jordan Hawkins (ankle) was forced from the contest in the third quarter. Reeves could take on a more consistent role in the Pelicans' backcourt if Hawkins' injury proves to be serious. Reeves has scored in double digits with multiple three-pointers in each of the last three times he's played 20-plus minutes in a game.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Leading scorer from second unit
Matkovic finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-99 victory over the 76ers.
The rookie center led the Pelicans in scoring on the night in an efficient performance. Matkovic tied his season highs in points and threes in the process, but his workload and production remain inconsistent -- he'd scored in single digits in four straight games prior to Monday.
