Pelicans depth chart
The New Orleans Pelicans' published depth chart at all five spots, the injury report, who played how many minutes last game, and our projected rotation for the next one.
The New Orleans Pelicans list 19 players across the five spots on the league's own depth chart, last changed Sep 30. First choice at each: Dejounte Murray at point guard, Trey Murphy III at shooting guard, Saddiq Bey at small forward, Zion Williamson at power forward and Herbert Jones at center. It is an ordering, not a minutes projection — a club can list five point guards and play two.
Nobody on the Pelicans' injury report right now.
Last game, vs the Wizards on Fri, Oct 16 (W 107-106), a preseason game: 16 players got on the floor. Herbert Jones 22, Zion Williamson 22 and Jeremiah Fears 22 led the minutes. 6 dressed or listed and did not play.
Next up: at the Magic, Fri, Oct 11 at 7 PM ET. The projected rotation lands here once the model has priced the game, usually the morning of.
