Lonzo Ball (right adductor) ruled out again for Pelicans on Tuesday
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (right adductor) will not play on Tuesday versus the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
It will be Ball's sixth consecutive absence. Jrue Holiday should continue to cover point guard duties and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will look to keep up his strong play. Frank Jackson (neck) is available after sitting out Monday. The Pelicans have the highest implied total on Tuesday's four-game slate, per numberFire's NBA Heat Map.
Lonzo is averaging 29.0 FanDuel points through eight games. numberFire's models project him for 12.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.7 3-pointers per game over the rest of the season.
