Pelicans to start Douglas, Hamilton, Babbitt, Cunningham, and Asik
The Pelicans will start the same starters for the second consecutive game. Toney Douglas led the Pelicans to a victory over Nuggets on Thursday. Douglas had 40.8 fpts in 36 minutes, making him a strong option against the Nets on Sunday. Douglas is averaging 26.08 fpts over his last eleven starts. Jordan Hamilton also played well in his second consecutive start, hitting 32.3 fpts in 32 minutes. Hamilton's asking price is still sub-$4k on both major sites, making him a nice tournament option with considerable upside. Only Asik did not play well against the Nuggets and is a really low-end option on Sunday.
Pelicans starters Douglas, Hamilton, Babbitt, Cunningham, and Asik
Jordan Hamilton will be making his second consecutive start for the Pelicans. Hamilton had 27.8 DKFP in 31 minutes against the Spurs last night. Hamilton is an elite punt option against the Nuggets on Thursday. Toney Douglas, Luke Babbitt, Dante Cunningham, and Omer Asik round out the starting five.
Jrue Holiday, Alonzo Gee to miss the rest of the season
The injury bug continues to bite the Pelicans hard - both Jrue Holiday and Alonzo Gee have now been ruled out for the rest of the season. We'll likely see some fresh faces on the Pelicans roster as the regular season winds down, but Toney Douglas and Tim Frazier will eat up the minutes left by Holiday barring the addition of another PG. Luke Babbitt and Jordan Hamilton will both see increased run with Gee on the shelf, with Babbitt being the preferred DFS target between the two. The Pelicans could be a nice source of value as the season winds down given how shorthanded they are.
