Antonio Reeves scored 34 points (14-25 FG, 4-12 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with five rebounds and three assists in the Pelicans 128-100 loss against the Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact: Reeves took advantage of his opportunity with the Pelicans rotation depleted. Despite coming off the bench, he still played 40 minutes en route to a huge performance. He'll be on the streaming radar for as long as the Pelicans rotation remains as depleted as it was.

Herbert Jones (shoulder) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Jones has been out for nearly a month due to a shoulder injury, and he will not be ready to make his return to the court on Wednesday. In fact, he's expected to miss more time beyond this game, but it remains unclear when exactly the team expects him to be back. Javonte Green and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will continue to see more work for however long he remains out.

Jose Alvarado will be sidelined for at least the next six weeks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: It is another tough break for Alvarado who had been stepping up in the absence of all the players sidelined for New Orleans. Brandon Boston Jr. should continue to see some more opportunity for a short-handed Pelicans rotation.

Daniel Theis is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Javonte Green scored five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go with five rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in Wednesday's 104-89 loss to the Golden State Warriors.
Fantasy Impact: Green had a well-rounded game on Wednesday. He didn't score a ton of points, but he made up for that by playing good defense and helping out in other areas of the game. He's an okay streaming option moving forward.
