Nikola Mirotic

Nikola Mirotic (hip) is questionable for Pelicans on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Nikola Mirotic (right hip flexor) is questionable Saturday against the Houston Rockets.

What It Means:

Mirotic only played 16 minutes Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers, and if Mirotic is banged up, it would make sense for the Pelicans to rest him Saturday with their next game Tuesday. If Mirotic sits, Emeka Okafor will have to take on more playing time, but the fantasy value will likely go to Cheick Diallo seeing more minutes off the bench.

If he is able to play, our models project Mirotic for 25.6 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,100.
