Brandon Ingram and Trey Murphy III have joined Zion Williamson and the rest of the team's core on the injury report
Ingram and Murphy III will join seven other players on New Orleans' injury report. New Orleans deployed a skeleton crew in Tuesday's 41-point bludgeoning from Dallas, but Wednesday's lineup will be even more bare-bones. Expect Javonte Green and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to see extended run as the Pels travel to Cleveland to face one of the NBA's best teams.
Murphy III may face a minutes restriction in his first game back, but with mounting injuries in New Orleans, the Pelicans may not be able to afford the luxury of easing him back into action. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his playing time and usage against Brooklyn.
He joins DeJounte Murry, Trey Murphy III, CJ McCollum and Herb Jones on the Pelicans' injured list.
Add Zion and Jordan Hawkins (back) to the growing list of Pelicans that won't play Monday. New Orleans was already set to be without CJ McCollum, Trey Murphy III, Herb Jones and Dejonte Murray. Brandon Ingram should see massive usage while Javonte Green, Jaylen Lowell and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl could also see increased run.
