Murray missed Monday’s game against the Mavericks due to illness, but it appears that he will return on Wednesday. The Pelicans had inserted Yves Missi into the starting lineup to go bigger against the Mavericks. He will probably move back to the bench on Wednesday.

Murray is questionable with an illness after missing Monday’s win over the Mavericks. The Pelicans opted for a bigger lineup without Murray on Monday with Yves Missi playing with the starters. Missi had four points, 10 rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes and could be in for a similar workload if Murray is ultimately ruled out again.

Murphy recorded a fine stat line in Monday’s win. He was exceptional inside the arc as a scorer and struggled from the perimeter before falling short of the 20-point mark for the second game in a row. Still, he facilitated and effectively made passes en route to a team-high in assists while also making a difference on the glass. Murphy added a few stocks on the defensive end, as well, to conclude with a well-rounded performance overall.

Despite struggles from the three-point line, Bey was one of two Pelicans players to score at least 20 points in Monday’s win. Free throws were a noteworthy factor in his scoring production, while he made an impact on the glass along the way. The veteran wing’s offensive numbers were a welcome sight for fantasy managers, who saw Bey finish in single digits in scoring in the two previous games. He’ll have a chance to stay on track against the Clippers on Wednesday.

Williamson took advantage of his opportunities against the Mavericks, missing only two shots from the field en route to securing a team-high in points. Most of the former first-overall pick’s work on the offensive end was accomplished in the first three quarters, before he had a quiet fourth quarter as the Pelicans played with a large lead. Williamson’s efficiency throughout March has been great, albeit on relatively insignificant field-goal attempts per game. If he can increase his volume, another level of success could be reached from a fantasy standpoint.

The Pelicans won’t have Dejounte Murray for Monday’s game, as he is out with an illness. As was the case the last time the point guard missed a game, Missi moves into the starting lineup. Murphy and Williamson should have the ball in their hands as initiators of the Pelicans’ offense.

Poeltl was efficient on Sunday and helped his fantasy managers by gobbling up the boards. The 30-year-old center also had no turnovers.

Barrett has been excellent so far in the month of March with at least 20 points in six out of seven games. The 25-year-old small forward also helped out in category leagues, a rare occurrence for him this year.

While much is made of Williamson’s lackluster three-point production and free-throw percentage in terms of his fantasy value, his limited defensive production has also been an issue in March. That was not the case on Friday, however, as the Pelicans’ forward recorded two blocked shots. In six appearances this month, Williamson has totaled three steals and two blocks. Given his athleticism, there may be some fantasy managers who hoped that some of that ability would translate to the defensive end of the floor. But at the very least, availability has not been a concern for Williamson, as he’s missed one game since mid-December.

While the Rockets managed to win the game, they never came up with a suitable answer to Murray defensively. Enjoying his most productive game of the season, the Pelicans’ guard shot 8-of-10 from the field in the first half. Murray shot 6-of-8 in the second half, finishing with his first 30-point game of the season. The Pelicans don’t play again this week, and their four-game Week 21 includes a back-to-back. As a result, Murray managers may have him for three games.

After having his fantasy value take a significant hit in February, Barrett has gotten off to a good start in March. In six games, he’s averaged 23.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting 59.1 percent from the field. That’s been a positive development for fantasy managers, especially those competing in category leagues. The Raptors host the Pistons on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

In a game with three 30-point scorers, Ingram stole the show in the Raptors’ win over the Suns. Shooting 65 percent from the field, the slender forward scored 36 points, the most in a game for him since he dropped 37 in a November 24 win over the Cavaliers. While Ingram’s fantasy value has slipped slightly since the All-Star break, fantasy managers have nothing to worry about. The Raptors host the Pistons on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

Barnes had a rough night at the office scoring-wise, as he shot 1-of-6 from three-point range. Category league managers can take solace in the rebounds, assists and steals.

Playing in New Orleans for the first time since being traded to the Raptors, Ingram received a deserved ovation at the conclusion of his tribute video on Wednesday. While productive, he was unable to do enough to keep the Raptors from losing both games of their quick road trip.

Williamson has scored at least 19 points in each of his last five appearances, and he has provided reliable top-100 fantasy value since the All-Star break. That may not seem like much, given his ADP, but it represents an improvement when compared to Williamson’s pre-break production. And with Dejounte Murray back in the fold running the point, Zion’s ceiling for the rest of the season has been raised.

Murphy’s run continues, as he’s providing first-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. He was highly efficient against the Raptors, with the stat line only lacking a blocked shot.

Jayson Tatum isn’t the only player who’s looked good recently since returning from a ruptured Achilles tendon. Murray has improved by the game in New Orleans, and his showing against the Raptors was his best yet. The Pelicans point guard surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time this season, and he also provided solid value in rebounds, assists and steals. The concern for fantasy managers going into the playoff weeks for Yahoo! default leagues: the schedule. New Orleans has a back-to-back in Weeks 21, 22 and 23, which isn’t good for Murray’s availability.
