Zion Williamson (thumb) remains uncertain for Pelicans
New Orleans Pelicans small forward Zion Williamson (right thumb sprain) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks.
What It Means:
Williamson and Brandon Ingram (toe) have each missed the past three games and they are both questionable for Tuesday's contest. The Pelicans are on the front end of a back-to-back, so they may opt to wait until Wednesday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is out after injuring his ankle during Sunday's game, so James Johnson should see a larger workload if Williamson and Ingram are also unavailable again.
numberFire’s models project Zion for 43.2 FanDuel points versus the Hawks and he has a salary of $9,700 on Tuesday’s eight-game slate. Johnson is averaging 37.1 FanDuel points over the last three and has a salary of $5,800.
