Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Scores 15 off bench
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl posted 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Nets.
With Trey Murphy back from injury, Robinson-Earl moved to the bench, but he still saw a healthy workload and made the most of his minutes. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) set to miss several weeks, there should be plenty of minutes available for Robinson-Earl to remain relevant, at least in deeper formats.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Retreats to bench Monday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl will come off the bench in Monday's matchup versus the Nets.
With Trey Murphy making his season debut Monday, Robinson-Earl will slide to the bench after starting in two of the Pelicans' last three games. The 24-year-old will likely still see significant run off the bench with Murphy limited to 20 minutes, and he will continue to play a significant role until Zion Williamson (hamstring) returns to game action.

Rotowire
Robinson-Earl will enter the starting lineup in Friday's matchup versus the Magic.
With Zion Williamson ruled out with a hamstring injury, Robinson-Earl will step into the starting five once again. The 24-year-old started in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, during which he posted 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Moves back to bench role Wednesday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
This is not a surprising move, as Robinson-Earl will head back to the bench due to the return of Zion Williamson (thigh) to the starting lineup. Robinson-Earl is averaging 14.5 minutes per game this season, and his fantasy upside should be close to minimal now that he's returned to a second-unit role.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Strong two-way play Monday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl produced 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to Portland.
With Jordan Hawkins (back) and Zion Williamson (thigh/hamstring) getting ruled out ahead of the game and joining Herbert Jones (shoulder), Trey Murphy (hamstring), Dejounte Murray (hand) and CJ McCollum (thigh) in street clothes, Robinson-Earl made his first start of the campaign. The veteran missed just two shots from the field and made his presence on the glass, although his contributions weren't enough for a depleted Pelicans team that looked outmatched. Even if he remains in a starting role, Robinson-Earl is nothing more than a low-end streaming alternative in most formats.

Rotowire
Robinson-Earl provided nine points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 104-89 loss to Golden State.
Robinson-Earl had his best game of the season Wednesday, posting his highest totals in points, rebounds, assists and minutes. However, the 24-year-old big man has averaged only 9.8 minutes per contest, making it hard to produce consistent fantasy performances.
Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Team option picked up
Rotowire
The Pelicans informed Robinson-Earl on Friday that they will exercise his $2.2 million team option for 2024-25, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
After spending his first two professional seasons in Oklahoma City, Robinson-Earl joined the Pelicans in 2023-24 and made 39 regular-season appearances (one start). He averaged 2.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 8.6 minutes per game. Robinson-Earl will presumably be an end-of-bench frontcourt option again in 2024-25.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder due to a left ankle sprain.
It's unclear when Robinson-Earl suffered the injury, as he's played only five minutes across the first three games of the opening-round series and didn't see any action during Saturday's Game 3 loss. If Robinson-Earl is ruled out, his absence shouldn't impact the Pelicans' rotation.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Fails to score in 12 minutes
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl racked up zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 loss to the Magic.
Robinson-Earl put up a bag full of nothing in the loss, continuing his underwhelming season. He is well outside the top 400 this season, playing in just 34 games. With no clear path to minutes, there is no reason to think his role will change, making him a non-factor in all formats.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Inks new deal
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl signed a standard two-year NBA contract with the Pelicans on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Robinson-Earl was previously operating under a two-way contract and made 21 appearances for the Pelicans, averaging 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.0 minutes per game. Despite being upgraded to a standard deal, his role will likely remain limited as long as Jonas Valanciunas, Larry Nance and Cody Zeller (knee) are available.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl (illness) isn't listed on the Pelicans' injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Clippers.
Robinson-Earl missed the Pelicans' 117-106 win over Minnesota on Wednesday but should be available Friday. However, he's garnered inconsistent playing time this year, and New Orleans is mostly healthy, so Robinson-Earl shouldn't garner a fantasy-relevant role versus Los Angeles.

Rotowire
Robinson-Earl registered 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Thursday's 123-104 victory over the Cavaliers.
Robinson-Earl saw increased run Thursday with the Pelicans shorthanded in the frontcourt, and he made the most of his opportunity with an efficient showing from the floor. Although Thursday's performance was encouraging, he'll likely continue to be on the fringes of the rotation once the team is back to full health.

Pelicans' Jeremiah Robinson-Earl: Nears double-double in start
Rotowire
Robinson-Earl notched 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 122-101 loss to Minnesota.
Robinson-Earl got the start Wednesday due to New Orleans dealing with a handful of injuries, hauling in a team-high rebound total while finishing one board short of a double-double. Robinson-Earl made his first appearance of the regular season for the Pelicans and could see extended playing time while New Orleans works through an early-season injury bug.
