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.

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.

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.

Bey extended his double-double streak to three games on Wednesday, and he remains a starter with Herb Jones unavailable. Over the past week, the Pelicans forward has been a top-50 player in nine-cat formats. We’re at the point where Bey can be trusted in a higher percentage of Yahoo! leagues, especially since he’s starting alongside Zion Williamson (17/5/4/0/2). And New Orleans ending Week 6 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back is another reason to consider adding Bey.

For the first time since December 2023, Bey has recorded a double-double in consecutive games. In Monday’s victory, he also notched his third 20-point game of the season and has provided unexpected deep-league fantasy value in New Orleans. Usually Zion Williamson’s replacement in the lineup when he’s unavailable, Bey started alongside him on Monday, as the Pelicans are without Herb Jones. With New Orleans having three more games in Week 6, Bey is worth a look in 14-team leagues.

Bey did not play in Monday’s loss to the Thunder, with Yves Missi replacing him in the starting lineup. Karlo Matković strained his calf during the contest and will not be available on Wednesday, leaving New Orleans down another option at the four. If Bey can’t play, the Pelicans will cross their fingers that Zion Williamson can. Having missed the last eight games with a hamstring injury, he is also questionable.

A late addition to the Pelicans’ injury report, Bey joins Zion Williamson on the sideline for Monday’s game. Karlo Matković may be the player most likely to move into the starting lineup, and he would be worth streaming in deep leagues if allowed to start.

With Zion Williamson being a game-time decision, the last thing the Pelicans needed was another frontcourt injury. Absent from the initial injury report, Bey is now questionable due to a sprained left ankle. How his absence would affect fantasy basketball depends on Williamson’s availability. If Zion can play, there won’t be a player worth streaming to account for Bey’s absence. However, if neither plays, Karlo Matković’s opportunities may increase out of necessity.

Bey has been solid as a starter lately, and that continued in Friday’s loss. He had a rough shooting night, but the made up for it with production in other categories. Zion Williamson (hamstring) has been cleared to participate in contact practice, and when he returns, Bey will return to the bench. There is a limit on how much longer Bey will be worth streaming, but as long as he is starting, he should be a solid option.

Bey notched his fifth straight double-digit scoring effort on Wednesday, with the last four occurring with him being part of the starting lineup. Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing top-100 value over the last five games. Bey should remain a starter for as long as the Pelicans are without Zion Williamson, making him worthy of a look in deep leagues ahead of Friday’s game against the Lakers.

Bey has reached double figures in four straight games, having started the last three. His place in the starting lineup may be secure until Zion Williamson (hamstring) returns from injury. With Williamson due to be re-evaluated this week, more will be learned about his recovery and how soon he’ll be able to play. Bey hasn’t done enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues, ranking just outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats over the last week.

Bey drew a spot start against the Mavericks on Wednesday with Zion Williamson and Jordan Poole (knee) both out. The 26-year-old shooting guard came through as a streaming option if you needed points and threes. Bey had game-high 22 points including four made three-points. He’ll return to the bench when the Pelicans are fully healthy.

Already without Zion Williamson, the Pelicans will not have Jordan Poole (knee) available for Wednesday’s game, either. Those absences push Bey into the starting lineup, and he’s worth considering as a deep-league streamer. The other four starters are unchanged from Tuesday’s win over the Hornets.

Bey tore his ACL over a year ago and hasn’t played an NBA game since March 10, 2024.

If Bey sees the court before the end of the 2024-25 campaign, he will surely be on a minutes restriction and not worth a look in fantasy basketball leagues.
