New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The star forward was doubtful heading into this game as he works his way back into game shape. He missed each of the last two games due to the league's health and safety protocols. Naji Marshall should remain in the starting five with Williamson on the sideline. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Pelicans shorthanded on Monday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (conditioning) is unlikely to suit up for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was originally left off the injury report after missing two games due to the league's health and safety protocols. Now, it appears Williamson is doubtful for this game due to conditioning concerns. His absence would likely mean that Naji Marshall would see increased playing time. Despite the increased playing time, Marshall isn't a strong streaming option for Monday's slate.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (protocols) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Williamson is on track to play after a two-game absence. Williamson's return would likely move Naji Marshall to bench and take some offensive opportunities away from Jonas Valanciunas.

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson (health and safety protocols) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Thunder, marking his second straight absence. Naji Marshall stepped into the starting five Thursday but saw around his traditional workload, not moving the needle on his DFS upside. CJ McCollum reaped the offensive benefits of Williamson (and Brandon Ingram) being sidelined, dropping a season-high 40 points. Williamson has returned to All-Star form this season, averaging 25.2 PPG all while shooting 60.2 percent overall. His next chance to return to action comes Monday vs. Indiana.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (health and safety protocols) will have to miss the team's Thursday night contest against the San Antonio Spurs. Williamson entered the health and safety protocols recently and will have to miss at least one game. The team has been off since Saturday so it seems as though he was forced to go into the protocols due to something off of the court. While he's out, Herbert Jones and Naji Marshall will likely get some added minutes while Jonas Valanciunas sees some more usage in the starting lineup.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson was one of only two players on the team that actually had a good shooting night. The rising star finished the game with 26 points, nine rebounds, five assists, and two steals with an efficient 10-for-16 shooting from the floor. All of that was across only 26 minutes of playing time as well. He hasn't scored any less than 20 points since November 25th and he only has a total of five games all season at that mark. The only drawback for fantasy managers is that he doesn't add as many rebounds as a usual power forward, but he has improved his assist and steal numbers.

The 22-year-old has returned to previous All-Star form after missing all of last year with a foot injury, having dropped 25 PPG across his first 21 contests in 2022-23. With Brandon Ingram (toe) sidelined for the time being, Williamson will continue to garner a massive offensive workload while remaining one of the more difficult players in the league to check on a nightly basis.

Right now, he's just cracking the top 100 in value, but that has mainly been due to missing games. He's sure to progress and improve as he finds his groove again after missing an entire season.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) will miss another game Friday versus Boston. He has a right foot contusion, which is a bit of a worry because the same foot has previously caused him serious trouble. Williamson plays a massive role for the Pelicans, but the team seems to be just fine without him, having won the two previous games he has missed in a pretty comfortable fashion. Trey Murphy III has moved to the starting unit and looks set to get the not again Friday night. He has done a bit of everything and even logged a double-double in Wednesday's win over Chicago, so the 22-year-old is looking like a great fantasy option right now.

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Zion Williamson (foot) will miss a second consecutive game Wednesday versus Chicago. The team is finishing off a back-to-back set and there were hopes of Zion returning to action after sitting out Tuesday's first leg against Memphis, but he hasn't been able to recover from a right foot contusion. Trey Murphy III joined the starting unit Tuesday and should keep his place, while Brandon Ingram and C.J. McCollum will be the focal points of the offense. The duo combined for 49 points against the Grizzlies, with McCollum having a really good 30-point night.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) will not play Tuesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Pelicans are considering Williamson day-to-day so the injury is not considered serious. Trey Murphy III is likely to enter the starting lineup with Herbert Jones and Larry Nance Jr. should see increased minutes as well. Looking ahead, the Pelicans play again on Wednesday and Williamson should be considered questionable.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for the team's game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. This injury designation seemed to pop up yesterday during the team's off day. So, with that being said, it sounds more like a soreness issue rather than a sprain that will cause some missed time. If he does miss this game, however, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy III would likely be the best streaming options.

The 22-year-old has been barely inside the top-100 in terms of fantasy production, but is nearly unstoppable to stop when he gets near the basket. On Thursday, Williamson scored 29 points with six rebounds, and three assists in the loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He was one of two Pelicans players to score more than 15 points in this game. Fantasy managers can continue to count on Williamson as long as he can stay healthy.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson scored 26 points in Monday's loss to Indiana. He also added seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block. The 22-year-old has played well this season. While he sank two of three shots from deep in this one, his three-point percentage could still use some work. Fortunately, Williamson has stayed relatively healthy so far in 2022-23. He should remain a capable all-around fantasy producer if he continues to steer clear of injuries moving ahead.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson cashed in a well-rounded game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. The 22-year-old registered 27 points, five rebounds, and seven assists on 11-for-21 shooting from the floor.

Fantasy managers that are expecting rebounds might be a little disappointed thus far with the inconsistency, but Williamson is actually on track for a higher average than his career numbers.

In their win over the Los Angeles Clippers, the 22-year-old just missed his first career triple-double by only three assists.
