New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He'll miss his second game in a row while he continues to deal with Achilles soreness. In his absence, Garrett Temple and Nickeil Alexander-Walker should be asked to pick up the slack. Temple has surprisingly played well over the last few games. He could have some streaming appeal while Ingram is out. Also, Temple might be worth a look as a low cost DFS option for Saturday's slate.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pelicans desperately need their star forward back, but he continues to deal with lingering Achilles soreness. At least, Josh Hart (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's contest. He'd be asked to step up and have plenty of streaming and DFS appeal without Ingram available. Herbert Jones is coming off a career game, but it's less likely he'll do anything like that again. Hart appears to be the safer fantasy option, assuming Ingram misses another game.

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Brandon Ingram (Achilles) and small forward Josh Hart (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's game vs. Cleveland. The absence from Ingram does not come as a surprise after he carried a doubtful designation into the day, while Hart's departure from action leaves the team thin on the wing. Garrett Temple, Tomas Satoransky, and Herbert Jones are all likely to see elevated minutes and usage without Ingram and Hart in the mix, while Devonte' Graham stands to possess the highest offensive upside of any healthy member of the roster. The next opportunity for Ingram or Hart to return to the floor comes Saturday against the Bucks.

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) has been listed as doubtful to play in Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sore left Achilles. An absence from Ingram will likely bump Garrett Temple into a larger role, which would give him DFS upside as the Pelicans navigate both injuries and the league's health and safety protocols. Ingram has enjoyed a scoring flurry during December, having averaged 27.7 points across his first 10 outings. While his overall shooting percentage has dipped slightly this season, Ingram has taken on unquestioned top dog status in the New Orleans offense, which bodes well for his upside over the second half of the year. His next best chance to return to action comes New Years Day vs. Milwaukee, which would give him just one game played for those fantasy managers eyeing decisions in weekly lock formats.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram continued to shine on Thursday against Orlando, leading all scorers with 31 points in a 110-104 win. He remained cold from downtown and missed his only attempt, but Ingram's overall performance from the field was very strong as he went 12-for-23. Ingram's scoring numbers were boosted by a flawless 7-for-7 effort at the charity stripe, and he had six rebounds and four assists with two turnovers in 36 minutes. Ingram continues to ball out at the minute and there's another juicy matchup waiting for him on Sunday against the Thunder. He went for 34 points in a meeting with OKC last week.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram scored 24 of his 28 points in the second half in Tuesday's win over Portland, adding eight rebounds and eight assists with three turnovers in 37 minutes. He shot 12-for-22 from the field and 2-for-7 from behind the arc. Ingram is currently on a nice scoring tear and finds himself in a good spot to continue the run in the next two matchups against Orlando and Oklahoma City. Both teams struggle defensively and Ingram put up 34 points against OKC just last week.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram kept the points flowing in Wednesday's 113-110 win over Oklahoma City, leading all scorers with 34 points on 11-for-21 shooting. He was very busy at the line with an 11-for-15 record and nailed one attempt from deep with two efforts. Ingram tallied fours assists on the offensive end as well and registered eight rebounds, one steal and two turnovers. New Orleans' star man has been back to his best this month, averaging 28 points in seven December outings. Ingram finishes this week with a couple of difficult matchups, but he will have a very good set of games next week, with a rematch against OKC scheduled and meetings with Portland and Orlando coming up.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram scored a game-high 27 points on 11-for-25 shooting in Sunday's loss to San Antonio, adding seven rebounds and nine assists to his tally with one steal and one turnover in 39 minutes. Ingram couldn't save the team from another defeat, but he performed very well and kept up his recent scoring surge. He's averaging 27 points for the month ahead of Wednesday's very favorable matchup against the Thunder. Oklahoma City is ranked 22nd in the league in defensive efficiency.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram delivered a season-high 40 points in Sunday's loss to Houston, shooting 15-for-28 from the field with a 3-for-10 mark from deep. He also did well at the foul line with a 7-for-8 effort and capped off his line with five rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block. Ingram last managed to put together a 40-point performance two years ago, so this was a massive effort from the 24-year-old. He's heated up nicely in recent outings, and matchups against Denver and Detroit will give him a couple of good spots to stay hot. The Nuggets started the season as the best defensive team in the league, but they are now ranked 17th in defensive efficiency and could have a very tough time trying to slow down Ingram on Wednesday.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram demonstrated some very good shooting in Monday's victory over the Clippers, racking up 27 points with a 12-for-18 effort from the field. He completed his line with seven rebounds and four assists in 34 minutes. Ingram's shooting has been all over the place in November and this was only the second time this month that he's made at least half of his shot attempts. He can look for more momentum next in back-to-back games against Dallas and then has a very good matchup to close out the week against the struggling Rockets.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram led the team to victory with 21 points against Utah on Friday but couldn't replicate his performance in Saturday's rematch. Ingram settled for only 11 points on 4-for-14 shooting in a 127-105 blowout loss. He failed to make a single three-point shot with four attempts and gave up the ball four times in 26 minutes. The 24-year-old completed his line with four rebounds, three assists and one block. Ingram is shooting below 37 percent for the month, which has led to a lot of disappointing performances. There could be another one in store for him on Monday against the Clippers and their stingy defense.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram impressed with a season-high 31 points in Monday's 105-100 loss at Washington. He finished with 9-for-23 shooting, which wasn't too great, but shot a solid 2-for-4 from deep and 11-for-12 at the line. Ingram grabbed five boards and delivered four assists with one turnover in 32 minutes. This was a tough matchup for Ingram and the Pelicans against a very strong defense, but they almost pulled off a shock win. It won't get easier on Wednesday against the Heat either, but they can draw confidence from Monday's first-half performance and Ingram could very well have another big performance. He's getting a lot of shots and just needs to improve his efficiency.

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram returned from a seven-game absence with a 19-point effort in the team's first home win of the season against Memphis on Saturday. He had issues with his shooting prior to a hip injury and didn't look great here either, going 1-for-4 from deep and 7-for-17 overall from the field. Ingram posted four assists with four turnovers and had three rebounds and one block in 29 minutes. The 24-year-old made a hot start to the season, so he's still averaging 24.1 points per game. However, Ingram's shooting woes might continue for a while, as the Pelicans start a tough week that includes multiple meetings against very good defensive teams.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram will play on Saturday evening against the Grizzlies. The 24-year-old has missed his last seven games because of a bruise on his right hip. However, there is a chance he could be limited from a minutes standpoint, although he should still receive enough to lower the ceilings of Devonte' Graham and Jonas Valanciunas. Still, Ingram, Graham, and Valanciunas should remain starting in all formats.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is questionable for Saturday's encounter against Memphis. The 24-year-old has missed his previous seven games while he continues to be plagued by a right hip contusion. Nonetheless, if he can't suit up against the Grizzlies, Garrett Temple, who had 17 points on Friday during the loss to Brooklyn, should gain appeal in most formats as a viable streaming option. Then, of course, Jonas Valanciunas, who has flourished this season, may continue to see an uptick from a fantasy standpoint against his former team.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) won't be in the lineup on Friday against the visiting Nets. Ingram remains out because of a contusion on his right hip, an injury that will now keep him off the court for his seventh straight contest. His next chance to make it back will be on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. However, in the meantime, Josh Hart will likely remain in the starting lineup. Yet, Jonas Valanciunas, Devonte' Graham, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker should continue to benefit the most from a fantasy perspective.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip), listed as questionable, will miss Wednesday's game against the Thunder. Ingram will miss his sixth straight contest as he continues to deal with a nagging hip issue. Ingram's next chance to return will be Friday against the Nets. His absence will open up opportunities for Josh Hart and Herbert Jones (ankle), who will take the court against Oklahoma City. Hart has scored 16-plus points in three games sans Ingram- and should be a dependable DFS play once again.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ingram has missed each of the last five games due to a hip issue. Herbert Jones (ankle) is questionable as well, which could lead to more minutes for Josh Hart and Garrett Temple. Fantasy managers should wait and see if anything changes before tip-off on Wednesday. If not, Hart could have some strong DFS appeal without Ingram on the court.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed each of the last four games while dealing with a right hip contusion. Although, it sounds like Ingram is improving and has a legitimate shot at playing on Monday. His return would be a significant blow to Josh Hart's fantasy value, but fantasy managers will have to check back on Monday.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is questionable leading up to the matchup against Golden State. Ingram continues to be bothered by a bruise on his right hip, and if he doesn't suit up against the Warriors, it will mark his fourth straight absence. If that's the case, his next chance to play will come on Monday night against the Mavericks, meaning Josh Hart, who is averaging 10.4 points and 5.4 rebounds, will likely draw another start on Friday evening.
