Zion Williamson (foot) ruled out Wednesday for Pelicans
New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (foot) is out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Williamson has been downgraded from questionable after being added to the injury report late on Wednesday afternoon. Herb Jones (groin) is also out, so the Pelicans will likely allocate more minutes to Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall, Dyson Daniels, and Jordan Hawkins. Larry Nance should also benefit.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Pelicans' implied total (115.75) is tied for No. 6 out of 18 teams on the Main slate Wednesday. Nance is numberFire's fifth-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's Main slate.
