Herbert Jones (knee) out again Wednesday for Pelicans
New Orleans Pelicans small forward Herb Jones (knee) is out Wednesday versus the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Jones, who was listed as doubtful, will miss a third straight game. Rookie Dyson Daniels will likely draw another start for the Pelicans. There will also continue to be more minutes for Jose Alvarado, Trey Murphy, and Naji Marshall.
Daniels is numberFire's fourth-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's 11-game slate. He has a $4,400 salary and our models project Daniels for 28.7 FanDuel points over 30.5 minutes. The rookie is averaging 0.88 FanDuel points per minute without Jones and Brandon Ingram (toe) on the court this season.
