Pelicans rule Steven Adams (ankle) out for Sunday versus Celtics

The New Orleans Pelicans have rule Steven Adams (ankle) out for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Adams' status was up in the air for this one, but ultimately the center will end up missing a second consecutive game as he recovers.

With Adams nursing his ankle injury, Guillermo Hernangomez should be lined up for another start at center for the Pelicans. Our models project him to score 19.9 fantasy points with 8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.4 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at $4,800.
