Alexis Ajinca kept his foot on the gas with Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson out on Monday, scoring 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting with 12 rebounds, one steal and one block in 25 minutes off the bench.
Ajinca has paid off with top-50 value over the last two weeks and with the Pelicans' durability issues he has a sneaky shot at finishing the year strong. There have been vague reports not necessarily altering Davis' 1-2 week timeline from about seven days ago, but we'll be watching closely to see if Ajinca can survive his return.
Mar 3 - 12:09 AM
Alexis Ajinca scored a career-high 24 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 9-of-10 shots with eight rebounds and three blocks in just 22 minutes.
Ajinca also hit the game's final, deciding shot and he's looking pretty automatic whenever 20-30 mpg clears up. Anthony Davis could be back in the next week or so and Ryan Anderson is about two weeks behind Davis on a timetable. In the meantime, Ajinca should be owned by somebody in your league.
Feb 28 - 3:38 AM
Alexis Ajinca came off the bench and played just 18 minutes on Wednesday, but still had 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks on 4-of-6 shooting.
The minutes don't make a lot of sense, but guys like Quincy Pondexter and Dante Cunningham played well in this one. Any time Anthony Davis is out, Ajinca still qualifies as an interesting sleeper pick.
Feb 26 - 1:12 AM
Alexis Ajinca scored 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting with nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Raptors.
Ajinca has done surprisingly well when pressed into action for Anthony Davis or Ryan Anderson this season. And with the way those two guys are holding up these days, it's possible this current window of productivity gets extended throughout the year -- particularly if and when the Pelicans fall out of the playoff chase.

Jrue Holiday
Sidelined
Jrue Holiday (leg) is no longer in a walking boot, but he said that he is still experiencing pain and swelling in his lower right leg.
Holiday is expected to be reevaluated in the near future, so we should be able to provide another update shortly. However, It's definitely not a good sign if he is still dealing with pain and swelling, and it doesn't sound like he is anywhere close to returning to action. If Holiday continues to remain on the shelf, Tyreke Evans will continue to run the point for the Pelicans, while Norris Cole will continue to see extended minutes off the bench. Holiday is no longer a must-own player in standard leagues.

Anthony Davis
Sidelined
Anthony Davis (shoulder) will play against the Pistons on Wednesday and will not have a minutes restriction.
He aggravated his shoulder injury back on Feb. 21 and only needed five games off. Davis admitted he's eager and nervous about his return, so he might not be his usual self. Still, his fantasy owners obviously have to start him. Alexis Ajinca and Norris Cole lose a little bit of value.

Ryan Anderson
Sidelined
An MRI taken on Ryan Anderson's right knee revealed an MCL sprain, and he will be sidelined for the next 2-4 weeks.
With Anthony Davis (shoulder) also expected to miss the next 1-2 weeks, there's going to be a lot of minutes to go around for the Pelicans' reserves. Alexis Ajinca, Shawne Williams, Dante Cunningham, and Justin Hamilton will be in line for extended minutes, and Ajinca looks like a decent pickup in standard leagues. As a starter this season he is averaging 8.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks per game. If you're team is fighting for a playoff spot, it might make sense to drop Anderson.
