Austin Rivers has been a DNP-CD for the Pelicans in three out of four games to begin the season.
With Tyreke Evans in town and Eric Gordon healthy enough to log starter's minutes, Rivers has drawn the short straw in the Pelicans' backcourt. He showed improvement this summer, looking more physical and confident with his shooting and playmaking, but it hasn't amounted to anything yet this season and fantasy owners can safely ignore him.
Nov 6 - 9:29 AM
The Pelicans elected to exercise their third-year option on Austin Rivers on Wednesday.
While this is good news for Rivers, it still doesn't change the fact that the second-year player will likely struggle for minutes behind Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday, and Eric Gordon barring injury. The Pelicans have been shifting Rivers player between point guard and shooting guard during the preseason, but his 37.2 shooting percentage as a rookie doesn't bode well for him winning minutes at shooting guard. The best-case scenario for fantasy owners here entails Rivers sliding into a sixth-man role, but even that may be too ambitious at the moment.

Austin Rivers will start at SG for the Pelicans on Sunday, with Anthony Morrow shifting to the bench.
The rest of the starting five will stay the same, and Monty Williams said he's starting Rivers "to get him some minutes, to see how he does in that role." Morrow and Rivers will both take a backseat whenever Eric Gordon (ankle) returns to action, which may happen some time this week.
Oct 13 - 1:03 PM

Austin Rivers scored 21 points and handed out five assists in the Pelicans' comeback win on Saturday.
He only hit 7-of-18 FGs and 7-of-13 FTs, but he stole the ball twice with one turnover in 31 minutes. His role will quickly expand if Tyreke Evans' ankle injury costs him any games. But when Tyreke is in the lineup there's little incentive to own Rivers, who shot 37.2 percent as a rookie.

Anthony Davis
Sidelined
Anthony Davis is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after doctors confirmed he has a non-displaced fracture in his left hand.
Davis leads the league in blocks at 3.6 per game and he's simply irreplaceable for fantasy owners, who will do their best to stay afloat until his return in early- to mid-January. Ryan Anderson blew up for 36 points as the Pelicans' starting PF on Monday, while Al-Farouq Aminu returned to the starting SF spot, Jason Smith picked up more minutes, and Lou Amundson joined the rotation.

Greg Stiemsma
Sidelined
Greg Stiemsma (left knee) will miss the next 6-8 weeks with a sprained left MCL.
He suffered the injury on Tuesday night and did not return. Stiemsma has a Grade-2 sprain, so his prognosis is on par with similar injuries. Jason Smith will pick up some extra minutes along with newly-signed Lou Amundson.
