About the Pelicans depth chart
New Orleans Pelicans depth chart for 2026-27 fantasy basketball
This is the New Orleans Pelicans (NOP, the Pels) depth chart for the 26-27 NBA season, position by position: who starts, who backs up, who is out and each player’s fantasy rank, read from Sleeper’s chart every night.
The Pelicans’ first choices are Dejounte Murray at shooting guard, Trey Murphy III at small forward, Zion Williamson at power forward and DeAndre Jordan at center (standing in while Yves Missi is out).
Their best fantasy asset on our points projections is Dejounte Murray, ranked 37th.
Jordan Poole and Yves Missi are listed as unable to play.
To use this chart in a fantasy league, the NBA fantasy schedule counts how many games the Pelicans play each week, the NBA fantasy trade analyzer prices a deal for any of them, and the fantasy basketball rankings set them against every other player in the league.
