Ryan Anderson started at PF with Anthony Davis (knee) out on Sunday, scoring 20 points with four 3-pointers, 12 rebounds and one block.
Davis is done for the year, but of course that only includes one more game on Wednesday vs. Dallas. Robin Lopez also picked up some extra minutes, notching 10 points and 12 boards, and both players should be locked into active fantasy lineups. Apr 14 - 8:40 PM

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson will start at power forward on Friday, as expected.

With Anthony Davis (knee) out for the year, Davis should finish the regular season as the full-time starting power forward and is locked into major minutes the rest of the way.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson scored 17 points off the bench in New Orleans' road win on Sunday, hitting 6-of-18 FGs with two 3-pointers, 10 rebounds and two turnovers.

It wasn't Anderson's finest hour, but fantasy owners will happily take it after he shot 1-for-18 in the Hornets past two road games. With four games on deck next week, he should never leave your active lineups.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson missed on all 10 of his field goal attempts on Friday, finishing with four points on free throws, six rebounds and a block.

Ouch. Anderson always bounces back so there's nothing to worry about in that regard, but this is hard to swallow at this time of the year.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson scored a team-high 20 points with three boards and two 3-pointers on 8-of-15 shooting in a 108-89 loss to the Heat on Friday.

It's been peaks and valleys for Ryno in his last five, alternating 20-plus games with eight-point duds in his last five. He's still locked in to his role as the trigger man and only Stephen Curry has more triples than Anderson this year.
Mar 30 - 1:46 AM
Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson hit just 3-of-9 shots and zero 3-pointers for eight points and five rebounds in 21 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Clippers.

Anderson had 23 points, nine boards and five 3-pointers on Monday, but never got it going tonight. And it probably didn't help that Anthony Davis played well, finishing with 19 points, nine rebounds and zero blocks on 9-of-13 shooting.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson made five 3-pointers against the Nuggets on Monday, scoring 23 points with nine boards and one steal in 36 minutes.

He had one of his worst games on the year on Friday with only eight points in 14 minutes, but there was never really a doubt that was a fluke. Only Stephen Curry has made more 3-pointers than Anderson and Ryno is a must-start option.
Mar 25 - 11:15 PM
Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson shot 3-of-5 from the field for eight points with six boards, one block and two 3-pointers in 14 minutes.

Monty Williams didn't give Anderson much run against a banging team like Memphis and it shockingly paid off with a big win for New Orleans. Anderson's six shots and 14 minutes are both season lows, but he should be able to turn it around on Monday against the up-tempo Nuggets.
Mar 22 - 11:51 PM
Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson had an off-night vs. the Wolves on Sunday, scoring seven points on 2-of-10 shooting, with two rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

Ryno is a frontrunner for Sixth-Man of the Year honors, partly because of his consistency, and we expect him to bounce back vs. the Warriors on Monday.
Mar 17 - 9:57 PM
Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson shot 6-of-18 from the field for 13 points with five boards, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer against the Wizards on Friday.

He shot 1-of-10 from downtown and he didn't have it after missing Tuesday's game to an illness. Anderson did put up a 20-point, four-triple game on March 10 and he should turn it around against the Timberwolves on Sunday.
Mar 15 - 9:54 PM
Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson (viral infection) is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Wizards.

Anderson missed Tuesday's game with the illness and hasn't been practicing with the team, either. He's apparently ready to go, although we highly doubt he'll be 100 percent. Owners should be prepared for a less-than-normal night from Anderson and it's likely rookie Anthony Davis will see an expanded role if Anderson is limited.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson, who missed Tuesday's game with a viral infection, did not participate in shootaround on Friday but intends to play against the Wizards.

Anderson's viral infection must be pretty nasty if it's still having an effect on him now, and if he does suit up we'd expect him to be at less than full strength. With Anthony Davis playing very well over his last few games, the rookie should continue to see extended minutes even if Anderson plays through the illness.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson (viral infection) will not play against the Nets on Tuesday.

He didn't participate in shootaround and was doubtful to play. The Hornets are extremely thin on the perimeter and they'll have to lean on rookie Anthony Davis to do more heavy lifting on offense. Al-Farouq Aminu may also have to create his own shot more often.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson (illness) did not participate in shootaround and is doubtful to play on Tuesday.

That one came out of nowhere. With just Louis Amundson behind Anthony Davis, Monty Williams should have no reason to keep AD off the court in this one and he should be playing big minutes. He's had double-double's in each of his last two games and is averaging 19 points and 14 rebounds over that span.

Ryan Anderson - F - Pelicans

Ryan Anderson scored two last-minute buckets to earn the Hornets a dramatic win vs. the Blazers, finishing with 20 points, four 3-pointers, 13 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block.

Ryno coughed up only two turnovers and he shot 7-of-15 from the field and 2-of-3 from the FT line, coming very close to a perfect nine-cat line. A starting job would be ideal, but his owners won't argue with lines like this from a sixth-man.
