Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Scores 17 points off bench
Boston amassed 17 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and four steals over 19 minutes during Thursday's 128-111 loss to the Rockets.
Boston had been trending in the wrong direction of late following a strong, albeit unsustainable, start to the campaign when he was forced to step up amid a rash of injuries. Boston has been playing exclusively off the bench since the beginning of December, and while that role limits his fantasy upside in most formats, he's still a serviceable streaming option in some slates. This 17-point outing was the sixth time he scored in double digits across 10 December appearances, but only the second time he did it over his previous six. The strong performance Thursday could mean he's showing signs of ending the woeful stretch that saw him shoot just 40.9 percent from the floor between Dec. 12 and Dec. 22.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Game-high three steals in defeat
Boston totaled seven points (3-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 21 minutes during Thursday's 133-113 loss to the Rockets.
Boston struggled with efficiency Thursday, though he led the Pelicans' bench in scoring while racking up a game-high mark in steals. The 23-year-old has delivered a career-best season while seeing a sizable uptick in playing time due to injuries. Over his last five games, Boston has averaged 12.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals across 25.6 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Leading scorer off bench Sunday
Boston registered 20 points (7-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 119-104 loss to the Pacers.
The fourth-year wing led the Pelicans in scoring on the night, hitting 20-plus points for the first time since Nov. 8. Boston continues to have a significant role for an undermanned New Orleans roster even after his shift back to the second unit, scoring in double digits in six of the last seven games while averaging 14.3 points, 2.9 boards, 1.9 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.1 steals in 24.6 minutes a contest.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Scores 17 points in loss
Boston logged 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-116 loss to the Spurs.
With Brandon Ingram out indefinitely with an ankle sprain, there's suddenly an opportunity for Boston to be very relevant in fantasy leagues as a key part of the second unit offense. He's proven to be a reliable contributor when the minutes are there, and through the first five games of December, he's averaging 14.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in just 22.8 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Drops 19 points in loss
Boston registered 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks.
Boston continues to make the most of his opportunities, as he scored in double digits for the second straight game. Despite moving back to the bench, Boston has maintained a meaningful role on a team that has now lost nine straight games. If and when the Pelicans are fully healthy, Boston could very well fall out of the rotation altogether. Until that happens, he should be able to provide serviceable production on both ends of the floor.

Boston isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Grizzlies.
Boston will be replaced by Trey Murphy in the starting lineup Friday. Boston is averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 24.8 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Back in starting lineup
Boston will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
CJ McCollum and Dejounte Murray are available, but Brandon Ingram (calf) and Trey Murphy (knee) are out, so Boston will slide back into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (nine games), Boston has averaged 14.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.2 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Bounces back Friday
Boston chipped in 19 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 101-94 victory over Denver.
Boston was coming off two consecutive single-digit scoring performances during which he struggled with his shot, but he bounced back admirably in this one. The Pelicans need Boston to perform at a high level amid their injury woes, and he's been up to the challenge even when factoring in those two subpar efforts in the losses to Brooklyn and Oklahoma City. Through six starts, Boston is averaging 15.7 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game while shooting 45.6 percent from the field.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Sniffs double-double in loss
Boston recorded 12 points (4-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and a steal across 36 minutes in Saturday's 104-99 loss to the Lakers.
Boston had a rough shooting performance Saturday and needed 12 shots to score 12 points. Even though Boston finished just two boards away from a double-double, the shooting woes continue to plague him. He's now failed to reach the 15-point mark in three of his last four appearances while shooting 17-for-48 from the field in that stretch.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Struggles with shot Wednesday
Boston provided eight points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to the Thunder.
Boston scored in double digits in five games in a row amid a stretch in which he got promoted to the starting lineup due to the rash of injuries the Pelicans are going through. However, he's struggled massively with his shot over his last two contests, scoring a combined 15 points while going 6-for-23 from the field in that span. He's done enough to remain valuable in fantasy due to his contributions in other categories, however, as he's tallied 17 boards, 14 assists and five steals in that two-game stretch as well. That said, he needs to improve his scoring figures because he'll remain with a prominent role in the Pelicans' offensive scheme as long as they stay as depleted as they are right now.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Packs stat sheet
Boston logged seven points (3-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to Brooklyn.
Boston took a step back in terms of scoring after posting a 26-point night Friday against Orlando. However, he set new top marks on the season in rebounds, assists and steals to make up for a sluggish shooting performance. It's clear Boston will continue to handle a prominent role in the offense until his squad can get healthy.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Scores season-high 26 points
Boston registered 26 points (10-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 115-88 loss to the Magic.
Boston is the next man up in a depleted Pelicans backcourt, and he's putting up decent numbers since being handed a more prominent role. He's scored at least 20 points in two of his three starts and is averaging 17.6 points per game in games in which he's logged at least 20 minutes, a trend that should continue for the foreseeable future.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Productive in second start
Boston notched 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 131-122 loss to the Cavaliers.
While he couldn't match the 20 points he delivered Monday against the Trail Blazers, Boston was productive again in his second straight start and just the third of his NBA career. The former Clipper has stepped into a bigger role with both CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) on the shelf, averaging 15.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals in 32.0 minutes over the last four contests. Boston seems to have leapfrogged 2023 first-round pick Jordan Hawkins on the depth chart at shooting guard for the time being.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Shines in first start of season
Boston finished with 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 118-100 loss to Portland.
Boston got the start Monday for a depleted Pelicans team and responded by posting his best game of the campaign. Don't be surprised if Boston, who has now scored in double digits in three straight outings, remains in the starting lineup if the Pelicans don't get Jordan Hawkins (back), Zion Williamson (thigh/hamstring) or Trey Murphy (hamstring) back soon. Herbert Jones (shoulder), CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) all remain out for multiple weeks.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Gets start Monday
Boston will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
With Jordan Hawkins (back) joining CJ McCollum (thigh) and Dejounte Murray (hand) on the sideline, Boston will receive his second career start Monday. The 22-year-old has found some opportunity in a depleted backcourt, and he has averaged 7.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals across 16.5 minutes per game in four regular-season appearances.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Intriguing performance Friday
Boston posted 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 125-118 victory over the Pacers.
Boston came from nowhere to score a season-high 14 points, taking advantage of the fact the Pelicans are without a number of key components. Having struggled to carve out a consistent role throughout his career, Boston may be about to embark on a crucial multi-game stretch. The Pelicans roster is likely to remain as is for at least the next week, opening up some minutes for the likes of Boston. He is someone who should be monitored just in case the talent finally shows through.

Pelicans' Brandon Boston: Inks two-way deal
Boston agreed to a two-way contract with the Pelicans on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Boston has made 105 NBA appearances over the last three seasons -- all with the Clippers. However, he'll likely spend most of his time in the G League this season, barring injuries in the New Orleans backcourt to Dejounte Murray (personal), CJ McCollum, Jose Alvarado and/or Trey Murphy.

Spurs' Brandon Boston: Joins San Antonio for camp
Boston signed with the Spurs on Friday, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.
Boston became an unrestricted free agent after the Clippers didn't tender him a $2.48 million qualifying offer at the end of June. After appearing in 51 regular-season games as a rookie in 2021, Boston saw a reduced role in his subsequent two campaigns with the Clippers. Entering his age-23 season, Boston is still a young prospect with room to grow, but he'll have an uphill battle to make the Spurs' initial regular-season roster.
