Fantasy Basketball Stock Up Stock Down: Jordan Miller answering the call for ClippersMiller has impressed in recent days while Jordan Poole continues to prove inconsistent with the Pelicans.
Jose Alvarado (oblique) has been ruled out against the Magic on Sunday.Alvarado will miss a second straight game, which has allowed Jeremiah Fears to take on extra minutes as the starting point guard. Jordan Poole is filling out the backup minutes, but he was held scoreless in 12 minutes in their last game.
Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Bryce McGowens, Zion Williamson and Derik Queen will start Friday's game against the Wizards.Murphy is back in the lineup after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, pushing Karlo Matkovic to the bench. The other change is McGowens, who will start ahead of Jordan Poole. His offensive ceiling is limited, but McGowens is a better defender than Poole.
Herb Jones (ankle) has been ruled out against the Wizards on Friday.Initially listed as doubtful, Jones is now officially out against Washington, which will be his second straight absence. Jordan Poole and Karlo Matkovic should remain in the starting unit with both Jones and Trey Murphy (back) sidelined once again.
Herb Jones (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Wizards.Jones did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, which was the Pelicans' second game in as many nights. With the doubtful tag, he appears on track to miss a second consecutive game. Jordan Poole may remain in the starting lineup if Jones sits, raising his fantasy ceiling.
