Fantasy Impact: Murphy is set to make his return to the lineup on Friday after missing New Orleans' last game due to a back injury. He shouldn't be limited in any major way and will likely see more work than usual with Herbert Jones (ankle) set to remain sidelined for the Pelicans.

Jones will sit out Friday's game against the Wizards due to an ankle injury, according to Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site. The forward was previously listed as doubtful on New Orleans' injury report before being downgraded to out. Trey Murphy remains questionable with back and ankle injuries heading into the contest.

Fantasy Impact: With Jones unavailable, players like Jordan Poole, Bryce McGowens and Micah Peavy could see expanded opportunities for the Pelicans.
