Bey continues to score in double figures, with Thursday’s performance extending his current streak to nine consecutive games. He didn’t offer much beyond the points, rebounds and three-pointers, but fantasy managers should not be too concerned. Plus, the Week 23 schedule works in the Pelicans’ favor, as they still have games on Friday and Sunday.

Interestingly, Murphy was not under a minutes restriction on Thursday after missing three games with a sprained ankle. He played 36 minutes in Portland, which may be a clear sign that he won’t play in Friday’s game against the Kings. If Murphy sits, Yves Missi (six points, seven rebounds and one blocked shot) is likely to return to the starting five.

The Pelicans aren’t playing for a postseason spot, but these late-season games are highly valuable to young players like Fears. The rookie guard had an excellent night in Portland, recording a complete stat line in 26 minutes on the court. Fears still has work to do, especially defensively, but there’s a clear willingness to compete on that end of the floor. On Thursday, his efforts were rewarded with two steals and two blocks. New Orleans still has two more games in Week 23, starting with the Kings on Friday.

While Barnes’ percentages were poor on Wednesday, the rebounds, assists and defensive stats were good. Regarding the shooting, it’s fair to wonder if Barnes’ left shoulder may be causing him some trouble, even though he’s a right-handed player. He shot 2-of-8 from the field in Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons and was only slightly better against Sacramento. The Raptors play games on Friday and Sunday, so Barnes won’t have to deal with another back-to-back this week.

With Wednesday’s game being the second in as many nights for the Raptors, Shead was inserted into the starting lineup with Brandon Ingram out. The second-year guard was solid, with the 16 points being the most he’s scored in a game since a January 11 game against the 76ers in which Shead put up 22. Add in the assists, defensive contributions and percentages, and Wednesday was a good night for the few streaming Shead. His fantasy value for the rest of Week 23 depends on the statuses of Ingram and Immanuel Quickley. And with the Raptors not having another back-to-back, there’s no need to add Shead.

While his final stat line was limited, Murray-Boyles put up 20 points in 18 minutes on Wednesday. Also, the Raptors’ rookie started the third quarter in place of Jakob Poeltl, who suffered a cut over his right eye during the first half. Poeltl still played 28 minutes, finishing with 18 points, five rebounds, one assist and two steals. Murray-Boyles’ playing time is unlikely to change much this season, but he is certainly someone to watch in 2026-27.

Barrett extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to three on Wednesday, while also providing solid value in rebounds and assists. Unfortunately, he doesn’t bring much to the table defensively, and his percentages weren’t great on Wednesday. Those issues limit Barrett’s value in category leagues, with the wing being a better option in points leagues. The Raptors play two more games in Week 23, starting with the Grizzlies on Friday.

Murray, who logged 28 minutes after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Raptors, finished Sunday’s defeat with a complete stat line on excellent percentages. Over the past two weeks, the veteran point guard has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. Unfortunately, the Week 23 schedule works against Murray and those rostering him. Not only are the Pelicans off until Thursday, but their three-game week includes a back-to-back. As a result, Murray could be limited to two appearances.

Williamson put up solid percentages in Sunday’s defeat, but the overall stat line was limited. However, that has not been an issue for him on most nights since the All-Star break.
