What It Means:

Ball was previously considered questionable. He will return from a three-game absence after taking a week off to rest his ailing knee. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will likely return to the Pelicans' bench on Tuesday. Through nine games this season, Ball is averaging the most points (12.4) and fewest assists (4.4) of his career.

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.
