While Williamson isn't at 100 percent, he managed 24 points, four rebounds, and one steal in 33 minutes against the Lakers. On Thursday, Williamson has an easier matchup and may also have more of the ball with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) out of the lineup.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Thursday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. After missing one game due to an ankle sprain, the former No. 1 pick was back in action on Tuesday against the Lakers, but Williamson could land back on the shelf for Thursday night. New Orleans will play two games in as many nights, so the team has some decisions to make. If Williamson sits out Thursday's game, DeAndre Jordan may return to the starting lineup; however, his minutes are not expected to increase significantly. Instead, Derik Queen benefited the most from Williamson's absence on Sunday against the Clippers, delivering an impressive 19 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in 29 minutes off the bench.

Fortunately, Trey Murphy III (shoulder) will return from his five-game absence, which will help lessen the blow caused by Williamson's absence.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Zion Williamson (ankle) will not return to Saturday's game against Utah after exiting in the second quarter. He finished with four points, two assists, and one rebound in 11 minutes before being shut down. If he misses time, New Orleans could lean more heavily on Karlo Matkovic and Derik Queen. Matkovic delivered eight points, six rebounds, five assists, and two blocks in 25 minutes, profiling mainly as a blocks streamer. Queen added seven points, nine rebounds, and three assists in 19 minutes and offers the more intriguing upside in deeper formats if the role expands.

Ahead of this evening's contest, the 25-year-old star forward has seen action in four consecutive contests after missing six games due to an adductor injury.

As expected, the team will play it safe on the second night of a back-to-back, so fantasy managers can anticipate his return on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. With that said, Saddiq Bey, coming off a 21-point effort, should continue to benefit from Williamson's absence. The same can be said for Derik Queen, Jeremiah Fears, and Jose Alvarado.

His latest health issue has given Saddiq Bey (ankle) a chance to impress in the starting unit. However, he is also considered questionable for Wednesday and may miss a second consecutive game.

There will also be additional playing time available for Herbert Jones, Jordan Hawkins, and Micah Peavy.
