New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) remains off the injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old recently returned from a lengthy stint on the shelf because of a knee injury. But he's been limited, combining for 44 minutes in the last two games. However, according to head coach Willie Green, Ingram "had a great practice" on Thursday. With that said, Zion Williamson (hamstring) won't suit up, so the team will need Ingram on the floor. Yet, he'll remain a risky DFS option until his workload increases, which may not be anytime soon.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Tuesday's Play-In meeting with the Lakers. The 26-year-old injured his knee during a matchup with the Orlando Magic in March and was sidelined for 12 games. However, he returned for the regular-season finale versus the Lakers, amassing 13 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes. Fortunately, head coach Willie Green reported that Ingram looked good during practice on Monday, so the plan is to increase his minutes for Tuesday's rematch with Los Angeles. Of course, he'll likely see less work than usual. But Ingram is still worth considering for any DFS contest after Green's latest update.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram logged 23 minutes in his first game back from a knee injury in Sunday's losing effort against the Lakers. The Pelicans produced a sub-par performance in a must-win game, but Ingram played well in his first action since March 21, shooting 6-for-9 from the field en route to 13 points and five rebounds. Ingram missed the previous 12 games, but the team should ramp up his minutes quickly, as the Pelicans now enter the play-in tournament, with a rematch against the Lakers scheduled for Tuesday. Ingram has always saved some of his best performances for his former team, averaging 23.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists for his career against the Lakers.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. There is optimism for Ingram returning soon after doing more in practice, but he will miss his 11th consecutive game. Ingram has two more regular season games after this to return before the postseason and play-in games start. Trey Murphy III has stepped up most with averages of 16.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.3 steals per game over those 11 games in Ingram's absence. Larry Nance Jr. and Herbert Jones also get extra frontcourt minutes that come without Ingram to boost their value.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is hopeful to return to the court before the end of the season, according to head coach Willie Green. The plan was to shut down Ingram for two weeks, which means he'd be re-evaluated on Friday. It sounds like Ingram has been progressing well. He has reportedly been running on the treadmill and making more progress each day. Trey Murphy III is expected to continue starting until Ingram is ready to play again. He'll have increased fantasy value with the starting unit, so fantasy managers should hold onto him for now. The Pelicans should give another update on Ingram's status on Friday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) was forced to leave the game against the Orlando Magic on Thursday due to a hyperextended knee. Luckily, after an MRI, the team found that Ingram suffered a bone contusion, so he avoided any serious damage to his knee. The team also announced that he will be re-evaluated in two weeks to see how his recovery progresses. The Pelicans will likely play it a bit safe given Ingram's injury history so that they can make sure he's able to play in the playoffs. While he's out, Herbert Jones and Trey Murphy III will likely be in the starting lineup together. Both of them serve as solid streaming options.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The star forward suffered a left knee injury during the third quarter of this game. He was putting minimal pressure on his knee and was helped to the locker room. This is concerning, but fantasy managers will have to wait for more updates. The expectation is that the organization will have Ingram undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury. In the meantime, Jordan Hawkins and Trey Murphy III should see additional playing time.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) will play against Indiana on Wednesday. He was initially regarded as questionable for the game after injuring his right ankle on Tuesday versus the Knicks. Ingram was hurt early in the game but still came through with 24 points in 34 minutes, adding six rebounds, five assists, and two blocks with solid shooting, which is a sign that he wasn't bothered too much by the injury.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Ingram sprained his right ankle early in Tuesday's win over the New York Knicks but was able to return to the contest, so he's not dealing with a significant setback. If the 26-year-old star forward is unable to give it a go on the second leg of New Orleans' back-to-back, Trey Murphy III would continue functioning as a Pelicans starter as a chalky DFS play against a shoddy Pacers defense yielding the worst opponent field-goal percentage (50.5%) in the NBA.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. This marks the second game in a row that Ingram will be forced to miss due to an illness. Trey Murphy III started in his place on Thursday and finished with 13 points, three rebounds, an assist, three steals, and three blocks in 34 minutes. He's well worth a look as a streaming option with Ingram missing Friday's game.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's matchup against the Heat. The 26-year-old sat out Thursday's game against the Rockets due to illness and may miss his second consecutive game. In his absence on Thursday, Trey Murphy III started and is likely to do so again if Ingram remains sidelined. Ingram, averaging 21.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in 33.4 minutes per game this season, is a key player for the Pelicans.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) won't play on Thursday versus the Rockets. He has been under the weather, so he carried a questionable designation heading into this one. However, head coach Willie Green didn't rule out Ingram returning to the lineup for Friday's matchup against Miami. At any rate, CJ McCollum and Zion Williamson should see more scoring opportunities without Ingram in the lineup. At the same time, Trey Murphy III and Jordan Hawkins are expected to get plenty of attention from DFS participants.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (illness) was absent from the team's practice on Wednesday, and his status remains uncertain for the Pelicans' game at home against the Rockets on Thursday. If Ingram is unable to play, Trey Murphy and Jordan Hawkins are the most probable candidates to see an uptick in minutes. Additionally, C.J. McCollum and Zion Williamson typically see the biggest increase in overall usage when Ingram is sidelined. This season, Ingram has been averaging 21.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 5.8 assists in 33.4 minutes per game.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is expected to play on Monday after he was listed as probable. The veteran wing missed the team's last matchup with the Dallas Mavericks, but he'll at least play them this time around. Ingram, who has dealt with several injury issues in the past, has only missed three games so far this year. He's seen a slight decrease in stats and usage this season which is in large part due to Zion Williamson being healthier. While they've contributed to more team success, it hasn't equated to more fantasy success at the moment. Either way, he's still a must-start player as he sits inside the top 80 in nine-category leagues.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Pelicans are going to be extremely shorthanded for this game. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so hopefully these players will return after the day off. In the meantime, Herbert Jones should see a spike in usage with the Pelicans shorthanded on players. Also, Jose Alvarado, Dyson Daniels, and Naji Marshall should see more action on Saturday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been listed as probable on Friday and should be taking the court to play against the Denver Nuggets. Ingram is one of four key players that was upgraded from questionable to probable. CJ McCollum (ankle), Zion Williamson (quad), and Trey Murphy III (knee) are all expected to play as well. That means key reserves Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, and Dyson Daniels will not be getting extra opportunities. Ingram is a must-start player whenever healthy, so managers can deploy him into lineups regardless of the league format.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with the Atlanta Hawks. The oft-injured 26-year-old last played nearly a week ago, logging 32 minutes versus the Knicks and amassing 26 points and seven rebounds. At this point, fantasy managers are used to lengthy absences from Ingram, who hasn't played more than 62 games since his rookie year. At any rate, if he sits again, Matt Ryan, coming off a 20-point outing against the Pistons, deserves consideration for fantasy lineups. In addition, Ryan will see plenty of interest from DFS participants, even though he hasn't been consistent on the scoring end.

The New Orleans Pelicans have ruled out guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) for Thursday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. The Pelicans are now categorizing Ingram's injury as right knee tendinitis, which initially scratched him from Monday's starting lineup against the Golden State Warriors. Tuesday's MRI revealed no structural damage to the 26-year-old All-Star's knee, so we'll continue to assume that he is day-to-day. We'll get the next update on Ingram's status leading into Saturday's interconference tilt with the Atlanta Hawks. 2023 first-round pick Jordan Hawkins has collected 35 and 37 minutes respectively in his last two games without Ingram, so we'd expect a similar arrangement on Thursday. With Zion Williamson (rest) getting the night off, there should be plenty of DFS budget plays to pick from in New Orleans' injury-riddled rotation.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Knee soreness moved Ingram to the shelf as a late scratch before Monday's 130-102 blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors, but an MRI later showed no structural damage to his knee. The 26-year-old All-Star appears to be day-to-day, and we'll see if he is able to come back during Thursday's back end of a back-to-back versus the Detroit Pistons. Ingram is averaging 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists despite a shaky start from beyond the arc (16.7% three-point shooting). 2023 first-round pick Jordan Hawkins started and handled 35 minutes from head coach Willie Green in Ingram's absence on Monday and figures to be the main fantasy beneficiary on Wednesday once again.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Knee soreness forced Ingram to the sidelines as a late stretch prior to Monday's 130-102 blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors, and his status remains up in the air leading into Wednesday's tilt. The 26-year-old All-Star sounds to be day-to-day after an MRI revealed no structural damage to his knee, so we'll see if he's at Wednesday morning's shootaround. Ingram has managed strong averages of 22.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists despite a sluggish start from downtown (16.7% three-point percentage). 2023 first-rounder Jordan Hawkins made a spot start and received 35 minutes from head coach Willie Green in Ingram's absence on Monday and would appear to be the main fantasy beneficiary if he is shelved once again.
