Anderson (elbow) will not play Monday against the Jazz.
As expected, Anderson will join Anthony Davis (shoulder) on Monday's inactive list, leaving the Pelicans with two of their top frontcourt contributors. Dante Cunningham figures to absorb most of Anderson's minutes, while Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca and Jeff Withey could all see bumps in playing time. Consider Anderson questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.
Mon Feb 9 201513:45Ryan Anderson: (Elbow) Doubtful Monday
Anderson is dealing with elbow soreness and is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Jazz.
Anthony Davis (shoulder) has already been ruled out, which could leave the Pelicans without their three best players Monday (Jrue Holiday is also out). Look for Dante Cunningham to see some time at the four, with Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca and Jeff Withey all seeing slightly more run in the frontcourt.

Anderson started at power forward in the second half following Anthony Davis' shoulder injury.
Anderson has performed worse as a starter than as a reserve this season, averaging 13.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 threes in 35.9 minutes per game through five starts. The Pelicans play two more games before the All-Star break, and if Davis misses extended time, Anderson becomes one of the beneficiaries in terms of opportunity. Regardless, he's shooting a career-low 34 percent from downtown. Without Davis on the court, Anderson's field goal accuracy drops seven percent, exacerbated by extra defensive attention.

Anderson scored 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with five rebounds, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the Thunder.
Anderson now has six consecutive games in double figures and has made 15 three-pointers over that span. His value is limited to points and threes with handy rebounding figures, as he barely contributes in the defensive categories.
Mon Jan 26 201522:52Anderson scored 19 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) to go along...
Anderson scored 19 points (7-14 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) to go along with seven rebounds and three steals in 24 minutes Monday against Philadelphia.
Anderson has now scored 37 points and hit six three-pointers in his last two games. He is an excellent shooter from behind the arc and can provide a spark off the bench for the Pelicans, but his inconsistency has hurt fantasy owners. He has scored nine points or less in four of his last eight games and will need to score more on a consistent basis to increase his fantasy value.
Mon Jan 26 201502:23Anderson scored 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), backed up ...
Anderson scored 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), backed up by five rebounds, one assist, and a block in 28 minutes on Sunday.
Anderson returned after missing some time with swollen ankles. Through the season he's taken time off to give his ankles some rest and it will likely continue going forward. Still, he can provide three-point shooting for those who need it, and the Pelicans could use the help without Jrue Holiday.
Sun Jan 25 201516:43Anderson (ankle) will play against Mavericks on Sunday
Anderson (ankle) will play against the Mavericks on Sunday, the Times-Picayune reports.
Anderson missed Friday's game against the Timberwolves with ankle inflammation that wasn't believed to be overly serious. His availability proves that his inflammation wasn't much of a concern as he'll likely fulfill his normal role off the bench Sunday.

Anderson (ankle) has a good chance of playing against the Mavericks on Sunday according to coach Monty Williams, the Times-Picayune reports.
Anderson was held off the court against the Timberwolves on Friday with bilateral ankle inflammation. The remarks from his coach certainly bode well for his progress from injury, although Anderson should still be considered a game-time decision for Sunday.
Fri Jan 23 201512:59Ryan Anderson: (Ankle) Will Not Play Friday
Anderson is dealing with ankle inflammation and will not take the court against the Timberwolves on Friday.
Anderson's bilateral ankle inflammation leaves his status as day-to-day moving forward. His next opportunity to play will come against the Mavericks on Sunday while Dante Cunningham benefits from added time on the court in the meantime.

Anderson returned to a bench role in Wednesday's victory over the Lakers, finishing with six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and a blocked shot in 23 minutes.
Anderson moved back to the bench, as Anthony Davis returned to the starting lineup after returning from his toe injury. Anderson is averaging 29 minutes per game this season, so he played a little bit less than he's normally used to. He averaged only 9.3 points as a replacement starter for Davis, as he didn't necessarily have his best performances offensively. Look for him to have a better showing in Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, somewhere closer to his 14.6 points per game season average.
Sat Jan 17 201503:01Anderson started in place of Anthony Davis (toe) Friday against ...
Anderson started in place of Anthony Davis (toe) Friday against the 76ers. Anderson scored eight points (2-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and grabbed eight rebounds in 35 minutes.
It was a disappointing night for Anderson, whose inefficient shooting prevented him from taking full advantage of his extra opportunity. Anderson saw a little more court time than usual, but he was already averaging nearly 30 minutes per game off the bench, so there was not much room for growth there.
Fri Jan 16 201517:44Anderson will get start Friday
Anderson will get the start Friday, the Times-Picayune's John Reid reports.
Anthony Davis is out with a toe injury, making Anderson an even better play than he typically is in daily leagues. Davis is day-to-day, and Anderson will get a boost in value every time the Pelicans' franchise player has to sit out.
Fri Jan 16 201513:38Anderson probable starter if Anthony Davis (toe) unable to play ...
Anderson is the probable starter if Anthony Davis (toe) is unable to play against the Sixers on Friday, the Times-Picayune reports.
Davis is a game-time decision ahead of Friday's tipoff as he was unable to participate in the morning shootaround. Anderson was spotted in place of Davis taking reps with the starters, so it seems that Anderson's value for Friday is dependent on whether or not Davis decides to play.
Fri Jan 2 201523:02Anderson scored 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with five r...
Anderson scored 22 points (9-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with five rebounds in 24 minutes in the win over Houston on Friday.
Anderson has hit at least two 3-pointers in his last five games and has averaged 18.8 points in that span. His rebounds fluctuate wildly because he spends so much time on the offensive perimeter. Anderson has not blocked a shot since Dec. 12 (11 straight games).
Wed Dec 31 201422:09Anderson had 18 points (7-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 11 rebound...
Anderson had 18 points (7-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 11 rebounds in 38 minutes in the overtime loss to the Spurs on Wednesday.
Anderson has been struggling from the perimeter (14-of-47, 29.8 percent in his last eight games), but he is getting plenty of attempts as the Pelicans' sixth man. He is the somewhat rare player that can help in 3-pointers and rebounds, but Anderson is not the most consistent fantasy player.
Wed Dec 17 201403:14Anderson moved back to bench role Tuesday with Anthony Davis (ch...
Anderson moved back to a bench role Tuesday with Anthony Davis (chest) back in action. Anderson finished with 28 points (10-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 27 minutes.
Anderson will remain in his bench role as long as Omer Asik and Davis are healthy, but whenever one of those two go down with an injury, Anderson's minutes will go up. Through 23 games off the bench this season, Anderson has averaged 15.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.3 blocks, and 2.4 three-pointers in 28 minutes per game, and that's exactly what managers should expect Anderson to average the rest of the season as long as he's on the Pelicans and coming off the bench.

Anderson started Sunday's game in place of Anthony Davis, (chest). He scored 15 points (5-16 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, and three assists in 45 minutes.
Anderson saw a season high in minutes while Anthony Davis sat out with a chest contusion. He wasn't very efficient shooting the ball tonight,while not really contributing too many auxiliary stats either. He's either been hit or miss shooting the ball and will get another opportunity to make the most in an expanded role if Davis sits out on Tuesday.
Fri Dec 12 201422:40Anderson tied career-high for threes made in game with eight Fri...
Anderson tied his career-high for threes made in a game with eight Friday in a win over the Cavaliers.
Anderson came in off the bench in relief of Anthony Davis, who left Friday's game just seven minutes into the game after he took an elbow to the chest. Anderson finished the night with 30 points, four rebounds, a steal and a block, and didn't turn the ball over in 41 minutes of play. Anderson is a must-start in most leagues if Davis misses any time with his injury.

Anderson landed a double-double on Sunday against the Lakers by scoring 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and added 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes of action.
Anderson is averaging 15 points, six rebounds and he is chipping in two three-point field goals per game in 28 minutes of action during his last seven games. He is a decent source of three-pointers, points and rebounds. If he is available in your league and you are in need of any of these three categories, feel free to add him.
Wed Dec 3 201400:15Anderson scored 23 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), with 11 re...
Anderson scored 23 points (7-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), with 11 rebounds, two steals and one assist in 35 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Thunder.
Anderson once again had a big night as the sixth-man for the Pelicans. This is a role that he's thriving in, and he's one bench player that you can put into your lineup on most nights, especially with his ability to knock down three pointers.
