Brandon Ingram (ankle) a GTD for Pelicans on Tuesday
New Orleans Pelicans small forward Brandon Ingram (right ankle sprain) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers.
What It Means:
Ingram is still dealing with some swelling in his ankle. He will try and see how it feels in warmups during pregame before making a decision. If he winds up sitting out a second consecutive game, it should lead to another start for either Josh Hart or Nicolo Melli. Zion Williamson (ankle) could be tasked with more work on offense in his return from a one-game absence. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET.
numberFire's models expect Ingram to score 40.9 FanDuel points on Tuesday. He's priced at $8,000. Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Pelicans have the highest implied total (122.5 points) on Tuesday's five-game slate. The Blazers-Pelicans game also features the highest over/under (241.5 points) on the slate.
