New Orleans Pelicans: News, Roster & Game Updates

If you follow the Pelicans, you want quick, useful updates—not long opinion pieces. Here you’ll find the latest on the roster, injury notes, who’s trending in fantasy, and how to catch games. I’ll keep it short and practical so you can act on the info fast.

Who matters right now

The group to watch includes the big names you already know: Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram, CJ McCollum, and Jonas Valančiūnas. Those players shape the Pelicans’ offense and defense. Keep an eye on role players like Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III for big-minute swings; they can change a game and are useful fantasy pickups on streaks.

Want a simple checklist before a matchup? Look at: who’s injured, minutes reported in recent games, any lineup changes from the coach, and matchup strength on both ends. That gives you a quick edge for fantasy or betting decisions.

How to follow games, tickets and streaming

Streaming: Local blackouts can affect TV coverage. Check national platforms (ESPN, TNT) and the Pelicans’ official broadcast info before the game. League apps and team social channels post real-time updates and highlights if you can’t watch live.

Tickets: For big matchups look early. Weeknight games and mid-season matchups are cheaper; weekend games and rivalry nights spike fast. Use verified resale sites and avoid scalpers. Arrive early—parking and traffic around the arena get messy on game days.

Social media: Follow the team and beat writers for injury updates and lineup tweets. Beat reporters often post practice notes and timeline estimates faster than official team updates.

Fantasy tips: If Zion or Ingram sits, expect Valančiūnas to pick up more rebounds and points. Role-player minutes shift quickly—watch the last two games’ rotations before making waiver moves. For daily lineups, check 30–60 minutes before tip-off.

Trade and deadline talk: The Pelicans are often in noise around the trade window. If you care about long-term roster changes, track official confirmations and reliable beat writers rather than rumor chains. Trades can flip rotations overnight, so don’t react to every headline.

What to watch in a game: watch pick-and-roll execution, Valančiūnas’ positioning on offense and defense, and how the Pelicans defend the corner 3. Those details often decide close games.
