Zion Williamson

PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Zion Williamson (re-conditioning) will play in "short bursts" throughout Thursday's contest vs. the Jazz.

It is highly likely that Zion enters the starting lineup but will have his minutes monitored closely as he is very important for future of the franchise. With Zion back, Nicoló Melli will see less time on the court and Brandon Ingram might see slightly less usage. However, Ingram is still a worthy DFS play. Zion, on the other hand, should be viewed as a riskier option as he may not play a full complement of minutes in his first game back. Let's get ready for some basketball!
