Lonzo Ball (knee) questionable for Pelicans Tuesday night
New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball (bilateral knee tendinopathy) is questionable to play Tuesday versus the Utah Jazz.
What It Means:
Ball was a full participant in Monday's practice after taking a week off to rest his knee, per the request of management. Barring any setbacks, Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely return to the Pelicans' bench on Tuesday. Ball is averaging the most points (12.4) and fewest assists (4.4) of his career through nine games.
numberFire’s models project Lonzo for 29.2 FanDuel points versus the Jazz on Tuesday. He has a salary of $5,500 and is currently our second-best value available for the short two-game slate. The Jazz are tough against opposing point guards, however, as they allow the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to the position.
