Pelicans' Herb Jones (gron) inactive Wednesday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Herb Jones (groin) is out for Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Jones and Zion Williamson (foot) have both been downgraded from questionable. That should result in more minutes for Trey Murphy, Naji Marshall, Dyson Daniels, and Jordan Hawkins on Wednesday night. 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.
