Larry Nance Jr. (ribs) out Tuesday for Pelicans
New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (ribs) is out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Nance was previously listed as doubtful. He missed the past month with a ribs injury, but the doubtful tag is an upgrade and suggests he's close to a return. Jonas Valanciunas and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl are the only active centers for the Pelicans on Tuesday.
Nance is averaging 15.1 minutes and 11.4 FanDuel points per game this season. Valanciunas has a $7,900 salary on Tuesday and numberFire's models project him for 33.4 FanDuel points over 31.7 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Pelicans’ implied total is 117.5 and the game total is 230.0.
