Micah Peavy

Alvarado has not appeared in a game since January 6, when he suffered a strained oblique during a loss to the Lakers. His return may result in fewer minutes for Micah Peavy, who played 16 off the bench in Friday's win over the Grizzlies. This would not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball.

Williamson had to exit Wednesday's loss to the Pistons prematurely due to illness. His absence from the initial injury report for Friday's game means that he'll be ready to take on his usual responsibilities within the Pelicans' lineup. Micah Peavy and Bryce McGowens will lose out on minutes, especially if Herb Jones (ankle) is available.

Zion is a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his chances at taking the court on Wednesday. If Williamson is ultimately sidelined, more minutes could be available for Karlo Matkovic and Micah Peavy, while Saddiq Bey would likely shoulder a heavier offensive responsibility.
