Pelicans' Elfrid Payton: Hands out 14 assists
Payton ended Monday's 112-99 victory over the 76ers with six points (3-8 FG), six rebounds, 14 assists, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes.
The Pelicans were resting several key players Monday, including CJ McCollum. High assist totals are nothing new for Payton, as he recorded 21 assists back on Nov. 25 of 2024. Payton could earn himself another 10-day contract after this eruption.

Pelicans' Antonio Reeves: Drains five threes in Monday's win
Reeves recorded 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 24 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-99 victory over Philadelphia.
The five treys were a career high for the rookie guard, who got some extended run after Jordan Hawkins (ankle) was forced from the contest in the third quarter. Reeves could take on a more consistent role in the Pelicans' backcourt if Hawkins' injury proves to be serious. Reeves has scored in double digits with multiple three-pointers in each of the last three times he's played 20-plus minutes in a game.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Leading scorer from second unit
Matkovic finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-99 victory over the 76ers.
The rookie center led the Pelicans in scoring on the night in an efficient performance. Matkovic tied his season highs in points and threes in the process, but his workload and production remain inconsistent -- he'd scored in single digits in four straight games prior to Monday.

Pelicans' Kelly Olynyk: Teases triple-double Monday
Olynyk recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and three steals over 30 minutes during Monday's 112-99 victory over the 76ers.
The veteran center came within shouting distance of his first career triple-double but instead had to settle for his second double-double of the season. Olynyk's three pilfers were also a season-high mark. In six contests since returning from a two-game absence to attend to a personal matter, he's averaged 11.7 points, 5.3 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 threes and 0.7 blocks while shooting 64.4 percent from the floor.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Leaves Monday with ankle injury
Hawkins won't return to Monday's game against the 76ers due to a left ankle injury. He'll finish with nine points (4-14 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes.
Hawkins sustained the ankle injury during the first half and limped back to the locker room before returning to action for the start of the third quarter, per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com. While the 22-year-old attempted to play through the injury, he eventually exited with 4:44 remaining in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly thereafter. Though X-rays on Hawkins' ankle came back negative, he could be dealing with a sprain, which might threaten his availability for the Pelicans' next game Friday versus the Warriors.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Moving to bench Monday
Matkovic is not part of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the 76ers.
The Pelicans will give Keion Brooks an opportunity in the starting five Monday, sending Matkovic into a reserve role. Matkovic has averaged 8.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks in 20.9 minutes across his last nine games off the bench.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Starting sans McCollum
Hawkins will start in Monday's game against the 76ers.
The 22-year-old shooting guard will return to the starting five due to CJ McCollum (rest) being sidelined. Hawkins has made seven starts on the season, averaging 19.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals across 33.1 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Keion Brooks: Getting first NBA start Monday
Brooks is in the Pelicans' starting lineup against the 76ers on Monday.
The undrafted rookie out of Washington will make the first start of his NBA career Monday due to the Pelicans resting both CJ McCollum and Bruce Brown. Brooks has played in each of the Pelicans' last two games and has averaged 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over 21.5 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Cleared to play
Missi (hip) will play Monday against the 76ers.
Missi will take the floor despite dealing with right hip soreness. He hasn't logged north of 30 minutes since Feb. 10, so it would be fair to expect 25-to-28 minutes out of the Baylor product Monday evening.

Pelicans' Lester Quinones: Joins parent club
New Orleans recalled Quinones from the G League's Birmingham Squadron on Monday.
The Pelicans have ruled out seven players due to injury or rest for Monday's game against the 76ers, so Quinones will likely get the chance to make his team debut. Since signing a two-year, two-way deal with New Orleans on March 2, Quinones has played exclusively for the Squadron.

Pelicans' Bruce Brown: Ruled out Monday
Brown will not play Monday against the 76ers due to return-to-competition conditioning.
After logging 35 minutes in Sunday's 136-130 loss to the Pistons and finishing with 12 points, two assists and one rebound, Brown will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back set. In Brown's absence, more minutes should be available for wing players such as Keion Brooks, Jordan Hawkins and Antonio Reeves.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Iffy for Monday
Missi (hip) is questionable for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Missi is in danger of missing a second straight game due to right hip soreness. If he's sidelined again, Karlo Matkovic will likely start at center.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Won't play Monday
McCollum will be rested Monday against the 76ers.
After erupting for 40 points (16-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 loss to Detroit, McCollum is getting a maintenance day against the 76ers. In his absence, players such as Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins and Elfrid Payton could step into increased roles for the Pelicans.

Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Remains out Monday
Williamson (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 76ers.
Williamson is slated to miss a third straight game due to a back contusion. He's one of seven players listed as out for the Pelicans, while Yves Missi (hip) is questionable. Jose Alvarado, Jordan Hawkins, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Kelly Olynyk will likely lead New Orleans against the 76ers, who are also dealing with several injuries to key players.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Flirts with triple-double
Robinson-Earl ended Sunday's 136-130 loss to the Pistons with 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and eight assists over 32 minutes.
Yves Missi (hip) and Zion Williamson (back) missed the first half of this back-to-back set, but the former could be back Monday against the 76ers. The Pelicans aren't playing for much in the final few weeks, meaning Robinson-Earl could find himself with more opportunities like the one he saw Sunday night. He's worth monitoring closely after arguably his best performance of the season.

Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Drops 40 points in offensive outing
McCollum recorded 40 points (16-28 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 loss to Detroit.
McCollum did it all for New Orleans offensively in Sunday's contest, leading all players in scoring and shots made while ending second on the team in threes made and assists during a losing effort. McCollum has scored 40 or more points four times this season, connecting on five or more threes in all those contests.

Pelicans' Jordan Hawkins: Ties season high off bench
Hawkins chipped in 25 points (8-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Sunday's 136-130 loss to Detroit.
Hawkins shined off the Pelicans bench in Sunday's contest, leading all players in threes made while ending second on the team in scoring in an offensive outburst. Hawkins set a new season high in threes made while matching his season high in scoring, a mark he last recorded Dec. 22.

Pelicans' Karlo Matkovic: Top rebounder in starting lineup
Matkovic contributed eight points (4-7 FG) and 11 rebounds across 16 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 136-130 loss to the Pistons.
With Zion Williamson (back) and Yves Missi (hip) inactive, Matkovic earned the starting nod Sunday, leading all Pelicans in rebounds while finishing two points shy of a double-double in just 16 minutes. Matkovic tied a season high in rebounds, a mark he has tallied on three other occasions. He has recorded at least eight points and 10 boards in four outings.
