Bey continues to shine for the Pelicans, and he’s rebounded nicely after missing the entire 2024-25 season with a torn ACL. He’s scored at least 20 points in three straight and four of his last five appearances, providing top-75 per-game value in eight-cat formats since January 1. Bey is rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but now may be a good time to commit to him in standard leagues, even with the Pelicans playing three games in Week 15.

Bey’s stellar season continued against the Grizzlies, as he shot efficiently from the floor en route to his first 30-point game of the season. A season-high six three-pointers was a major part of his success on the offensive end in this game, while he also made contributions as a facilitator. Bey’s best moments, however, came in the fourth quarter; he scored 19 in the frame to help the Pacers mount a big comeback and ultimately an overtime victory. Bey remains one of the bright spots for New Orleans this season.

Bey didn’t have a great night shooting from the field, but he was a perfect 11-of-11 from the foul line. He’s scored 20 points or more in 11 games this season, going from “fantasy afterthought” to someone who needs to be rostered in deep leagues. At a minimum, Bey should remain in the starting lineup as long as the Pelicans remain without Herb Jones (ankle).

Bey remained in the starting lineup with Herb Jones (ankle) still out. The 26-year-old shooting guard had 20 points on 10 attempts with two three-pointers. Bey continues to be worth streaming when Jones is out. The Pelicans are off until Sunday’s game against the Rockets.

Following a six-game absence, Bey was back and starting for New Orleans. While he played a big role and was able to score some points, he didn’t contribute as much across the board as he has in the past. He has had an excellent bounce-back season after missing all of last year, and as long as he continues to start, he’ll hold value in standard leagues.

Bey will be back after missing the last six games for the Pelicans. He’ll immediately return to the starting lineup, which will result in Bryce McGowens not only being pushed out of the starting lineup but being listed inactive for this game.

Bey is on track to return from a six-game absence due to a right hip flexor. Bey should reclaim his starting role from Bryce McGowens, but with Herb Jones (ankle) out, McGowens could see some rotational minutes. McGowens isn’t worth a look in most fantasy leagues due to his limited production.

Bey has missed the Pelicans’ last six games with a strained right hip flexor. With Herb Jones (ankle) also out, Bryce McGowens has started the last two, offering limited fantasy value in that role. Fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire.

Bey is set to miss his sixth game in a row with a right hip flexor strain. With Trey Murphy and Zion Williamson back in the starting lineup anyway, Bey will likely be looking at a bench role whenever he returns.

Bey is expected to miss a sixth straight game. Trey Murphy (back) returned to the lineup for Friday’s game, so he filled the open starting spot left by Bey. Zion Williamson returned to the starting lineup when Bey first was sidelined, and he will likely remain in that role even after Bey returns.

Friday’s game will be the fifth that Bey has missed with a strained right hip flexor. Karlo Matković moved into the starting lineup for Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks, but the Pelicans were also without Trey Murphy and Herb Jones. If Murphy can play against the Wizards, Matković will likely be headed to the bench.

Bey will be out for a third straight game, which means Bryce McGowens could see additional minutes off the bench behind Trey Murphy. Even with Herb Jones (ankle) also sidelined, McGowens isn’t worth an add in most fantasy leagues.

Bey will miss a second straight game, which means Bryce McGowens should be in line for another start. He had 13 points in 24 minutes as a starter on Friday, so he shouldn’t be considered a high-priority streaming option, even if he remains in the starting unit.

New Orleans will be shorthanded for this game with Bey and Derik Queen (quad) sidelined. Herb Jones (ankle) could be back, but the Pelicans will likely have to turn to players that aren’t typically part of the rotation, such as Bryce McGowens, for minutes. McGowens should play big minutes, but he won’t be worth streaming.

Bey, a fixture in the Pelicans’ starting lineup since late November, is dealing with a sore right hip. Bryce McGowens, who has been inactive for the last two games, could be activated if Bey doesn’t play. He would not be a must-stream player in that spot.

Bey appeared to be on his way to a career night after the first quarter of Monday’s game. Shooting 6-of-9 from the field, the Pelicans forward scored 23 points in the opening 12 minutes. Unfortunately for Bey and fantasy managers who have him rostered, he cooled off considerably after halftime, missing all eight of his shot attempts. The overall stat line was good, and Bey staying in the starting lineup was another positive. But his Monday could have been even better.

Bey continues to start, and he continues to provide solid value in his role. He’s reached double figures in 14 straight games, and since moving into the starting lineup on November 22, he has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While there may be some concern about what happens if Bey is moved to the bench in favor of Zion Williamson, that hasn’t happened yet. He’s worth picking up in 12-team leagues, especially with the Pelicans playing again on Tuesday in Cleveland.

On the heels of a season-high 29-point performance against the Rockets, Bey delivered another strong all-around effort in this one. The 26-year-old has emerged as a fairly consistent 20-point threat since late November and is averaging 17.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five games, delivering top-60 range fantasy value during that span. He should be rostered in most fantasy formats at this juncture.

Bey remained in the starting lineup on Thursday, and he could stay there as long as he’s playing well. Interim head coach James Borrego hasn’t said anything regarding what the lineup will look like once Zion Williamson (9/3/5/0/1 in 21 minutes) is no longer restricted. But Bey has made a good argument for himself staying in the starting lineup with Thursday’s performance. Over the last two weeks, he’s been close to a top-75 player in eight-cat formats, excellent value for a player who wasn’t on many radars before the season began.

Make it four straight and five of his last six games in which Bey has scored at least 20 points. Since November 22, only Trey Murphy has been a better fantasy option amongst Pelicans players, with Bey providing top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Zion Williamson (adductor) is out for multiple weeks, and the Pelicans are also awaiting the return of Herb Jones. Rostered in 38 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bey should be a popular option in more 12-team leagues, even with a light Week 8 schedule due to the NBA Cup knockout rounds.

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 missed Monday’s game against the Thunder with an ankle injury. Despite being listed as questionable on Wednesday, the 26-year-old small forward is available against the Nuggets. With Zion Williamson also available, the Pelicans are getting two key players back in the lineup.

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.
