After missing two games with a right elbow injury, Murphy made his presence felt in a big way in his return. He set a new career high for rebounds while scoring at least 30 points for the third time this season. Murphy has been one of the bright spots in a disastrous season for New Orleans, and he’ll continue to be an elite player in fantasy basketball as long as he’s healthy and available.

Not many rookie point guards are able to have the offensive success that Fears has had. This was his fifth 20-point outing of the season, and his second in a row, which is the first time he’s scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. Fears’ inefficiency has limited his fantasy output this season, but he has shot over 50 percent from the floor in each of the last two games while turning it over a total of four times.

The report came out Tuesday afternoon that Zion Williamson would be out at least three weeks due to a right adductor strain. That means that Bey’s spot in the starting lineup should be safe for now, and he has made the most of the opportunity. Bey is still available in 65 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is far too low a number. Over the last six games as a starter, Bey has averaged 20.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 three-pointers per game.

Missi is dealing with a sore right foot and ankle and will join Zion Williamson (adductor) on the sideline for Tuesday’s game. While additional rotation minutes may be available to veteran Kevon Looney, he is not a player to roster in fantasy leagues.

Mann missed Monday’s game, which allowed Tyrese Martin to log 19 minutes as a starter in his stead. However, Drake Powell played 24 minutes off the bench and was more productive in the box score. Powell is likely only worth streaming in deeper leagues, but he should see the biggest boost with Mann out.

Zion popped up on the injury report Tuesday afternoon after not initially being included on it. He had previously been dealing with a hamstring injury, but now it’s the right adductor that will keep him sidelined until at least Dec. 23. Saddiq Bey and Derik Queen should continue to be the main beneficiaries with Zion unavailable for at least a few weeks. Queen should be locked in as a starter for the rest of the season, while Bey should continue to start with Zion out. Bey has averaged 19.8 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.6 triples over the last five games and is available in 66 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Williamson was off the injury report on Monday evening for his hamstring, but the adductor issue is a new one, suggesting he may sit this one out. Missi is also a late addition to the injury report, and if both he and Zion are forced to sit this one out, Derik Queen and Saddiq Bey should see even higher usage. Micah Peavey and Kevon Looney could soak up some additional minutes off the bench.

Murphy will return following a two-game absence, which means Bryce McGowens (who has played well with increased opportunities) will lose most of his streaming appeal. Hawkins is also back after two games on the shelf, but his return is less meaningful for fantasy managers given his playing time and lackluster production.

Wolf may have a knack for dunking on people. Two nights removed from putting Milwaukee’s Kyle Kuzma on a poster as part of a 22-point night, the rookie did the same to Charlotte’s Miles Bridges. Wolf’s overall production against the Hornets didn’t move the needle much in fantasy basketball, but he’s hit double figures in minutes in three straight games. That may not mean much right now, but Wolf could be a valuable option for fantasy managers after the February trade deadline.

Claxton recorded a complete stat line on Monday, and the rebounding production was especially encouraging. After grabbing 11 rebounds in three consecutive games, the Nets center entered Monday having totaled 14 rebounds over his last three. After totaling 18 double-digit rebound games in 2024-25, he has six through Brooklyn’s first 20 games of this season. For those punting free-throw percentage, Claxton is providing top-75 fantasy value.

After ripping off a streak of eight straight games in double figures, Clowney put up a dud in Saturday’s loss to the Bucks. He got back on track on Monday, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from beyond the arc in Brooklyn’s win over the Hornets. While he remains ranked outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, Clowney’s status as a starter makes him worth a look in deeper leagues. And that should remain the case throughout the season.

After recording three 30-point games last season with the Nuggets, Porter dropped his sixth of his first season with the Nets on Monday. The 35 points were a season-high for the forward, who was efficient and only lacked a blocked shot on his stat line. While there may be some concern about a late-season shutdown due to the Nets’ prioritization of the 2026 draft class, we haven’t reached that point yet. Porter is in a spot where he can be highly valuable, at least until the trade deadline.

Porter is back after a two-game absence and will fill the void left by the inactive Terance Mann. This means Martin will remain in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game, giving him a slightly higher fantasy ceiling. Also, Dëmin is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Bucks for injury management reasons.

Thomas has been out since November 5, when he strained his left hamstring during a game against the Pacers. At the time, he was given a timeline of three to four weeks before being re-evaluated. Once the next MRI is completed, the team will provide an updated timeline for Thomas. For now, those who have him stashed in an IL+ slot should continue to do so.

Mann played through this injury on Saturday, but it will cost him at least one game. In his absence, Drake Powell, Tyrese Martin and Jalen Wilson are all candidates to see increased playing time, though there is no clear add.

Both players were listed as probable on Sunday evening, so their availability is not surprising. MPJ will be back following a two-game absence which will erase Ziaire Williams’ streaming value. Clowney has yet to miss a game this season, and he should retain his usual spot in Brooklyn’s starting five.

After making a shot with 3:37 remaining in the fourth quarter, Alvarado reached for his right hamstring. He would then give a foul to exit the game, which may have happened even if he were healthy, as the outcome was no longer in doubt. However, the hamstring could be a concern for the Pelicans’ backup point guard. While Alvarado’s production hasn’t been great from a fantasy standpoint, backing up a rookie (Jeremiah Fears) has made him worth a look in some deep leagues. The Pelicans host Minnesota on Tuesday.

Since returning to the Pelicans’ starting lineup on November 22, Bey has recorded four double-doubles in five games. Over the past week, he has provided second-round value in nine-cat formats, stepping up as a reliable option due to the Pelicans’ many injuries. Bey’s place in the starting lineup may be secure until Herb Jones returns from a strained calf, and that may not happen until Week 8 at the earliest. New Orleans plays three games in Week 7, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

With Trey Murphy, Herb Jones and Jordan Hawkins all ruled out due to injury, McGowens had more opportunities to contribute offensively in his second consecutive start. The wing, who’s on a two-way contract, recorded a career-high point total while shooting 50 percent from the field. McGowens’ fantasy value in Week 7 hinges upon Murphy’s availability. If Trey can play against the Timberwolves on Tuesday, there won’t be much to gain from adding McGowens to your roster.

While it did not result in a victory, Fears had one of his best games of the season on Sunday. Shooting 50 percent from the field, the rookie guard recorded his fourth 20-point game and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Rostered in 24 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Fears’ fantasy value has been low for most of this season. However, his role as the starting point guard makes him worth the risk in deep leagues. The Pelicans play three games in Week 7, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday and Thursday.

Missi will fill in for Zion Williamson as a starter for the second leg of the Pelicans’ back-to-back. Missi had 10 rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench on Saturday and should have a good chance to record a double-double as a starter.

Dëmin will be back after a one-game absence, which allowed Tyrese Martin to start in his place. Martin will likely return to a reserve role with Dëmin available. Dëmin scored a career-best 23 points in the last game he suited up for and will look to build off that.

Murphy and Hawkins will join Zion Williamson (hamstring) and a number of other players on the sideline for the second leg of New Orleans’ back-to-back set. Bryce McGowens could draw a second straight start, though he finished with an unimpressive 5/4/1/2 line across 26 minutes on Saturday.

Williamson will sit out the second leg of New Orleans’ back-to-back set, which means Saddiq Bey should have the green light on offense. Bey has been a strong scorer since joining the starting five, and with Williamson and Trey Murphy (elbow) sidelined, he could be in line for a big game.

Fears’ night in San Francisco ended prematurely, as he picked up his second technical foul and was ejected after exchanging words with Jimmy Butler. The back-and-forth happened during the final minute when the outcome was no longer in doubt, so fantasy managers didn’t miss out on too much. While inefficiency has been an issue for Fears, that’s expected of most rookies. The hope for dynasty managers is that this “on-the-job training” will pay dividends down the line.

While Bey’s double-double streak ended at three games, he had another good night for the Pelicans. Over the past week, he’s provided top-25 value in nine-cat formats despite shooting 57.1 percent from the foul line. Starting alongside Zion Williamson, Bey will have value until Trey Murphy or Herb Jones returns from their injuries. And he’s rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so it won’t be challenging to find him on the waiver wire of most leagues.

Williamson has scored at least 22 points in three of his last four games. What stands out from his performance on Saturday is the foul shooting. Williamson made 90 percent of his attempts against the Warriors, and he’s shot a respectable 79.5 percent over the past two weeks. While Zion doesn’t have to turn into an elite foul shooter, becoming respectable would do wonders for his fantasy value. The Pelicans play three games in Week 7, starting with the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

This was the first time Saraf has suited up since Nov. 11, he injured his ankle during a G League game earlier this month, and this was the first time since then that he checked in for Brooklyn. He logged 29 minutes in the ugly loss and was one of the more productive players for the Nets. The lopsided score certainly altered the rotation, but Saraf could earn more minutes after leading the team in assists.

Wolf hasn’t played much of a role during his rookie year, but he was part of the rotation in this game and made a huge impact off the bench. He led the Nets in scoring while enjoying the best game of his young career. He’s a dynamic big man that has tremendous upside, and Brooklyn will likely let him continue to take on more minutes to see how he can develop. He’s a valuable piece in dynasty leagues, and he’s worth keeping an eye on in standard redraft leagues.

Martin slid into the starting unit with Egor Dëmin sidelined, but he wasn’t able to make the most of the opportunity. He played 24 minutes in the lopsided loss and simply didn’t make much of an impact in the box score. He wasn’t alone, as this was an ugly game for all the Nets starters. Martin may get another start of both Dëmin and Michael Porter Jr. remain out against the Hornets on Monday, but he won’t be worth streaming.

The Pelicans are without Trey Murphy for Saturday’s game, as he sits with a sore right elbow. McGowens will fill the resulting void, giving him a shot at achieving fantasy relevance. However, managers should not feel obligated to stream him, as the wing is making his first start as a Pelican.

Listed as questionable on the initial injury report, Mann is trending toward being available for Saturday’s game.

Dëmin is out for Saturday’s game with the Bucks for left plantar fascia injury management reasons. It’s undoubtedly a bummer after the 19-year-old point guard had his best game since joining the Nets with 23 points against the 76ers on Friday. Dëmin is certainly a player to keep tabs on for fantasy managers going forward, though he may not be worth rostering just yet.

Dëmin had his best game as a Net on Friday, reaching double figures for the sixth time, with this being his first 20-point game. The rookei guard recorded a complete stat line in 30 minutes on the floor. Since replacing Ben Saraf (DNP-CD on Friday) in the starting lineup, Dëmin has not been productive enough to be a must-roster player in 14-team leagues. However, he is definitely worth watching in the aftermath of Friday’s performance.

Mann is rostered in only three percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason. While he did record a solid line against the 76ers, his inconsistency makes him difficult to trust in most fantasy formats. However, it appears that he’s a lock in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future, especially as first-round pick Drake Powell (4/1/1 in 21 minutes) also has his bouts with inconsistency. There may come a point later in the season when the roles reverse, but we aren’t there yet.

The bad news for fantasy managers who have Clowney rostered is that he shot the ball poorly on Friday. The good news is that he recorded a complete stat line, which is good for the overall value in category leagues. For the season, the third-year forward remains ranked just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats, due mainly to his low field-goal percentage. However, Clowney has been a sixth-round player over the past two weeks. Despite Friday’s poor shooting, he’s trending in the right direction.

The lone change to the lineup is Williams, who steps in for Michael Porter Jr. While he’s scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting over the last two games, Williams did go on a run of three straight games in double figures before that. He’ll have a higher ceiling on Friday, but there should be better streaming options available on an 11-game night.
