Fantasy Impact

Hawkins dropped a stellar 34 points on Saturday, which was good for the most on the team by 19 points. He did it while having impressive efficiency, which led to him having a good total for fantasy purposes. He's valuable when New Orleans is missing one or more of their starters, but fantasy managers shouldn't come to expect this from him every game.

Jordan Hawkins totaled 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-12 3PT, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, and one steal in the Pelicans’ 105-100 loss to the Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Hawkins dropped 25.0 points in the Pelicans' loss to the Jazz, putting up his strongest scoring performance since his 25.0-point game against the Mavericks on November 14th. Hawkins is a talented offensive player who has the potential to profile as an elite guard on any given night. However, his lack of consistency, limited production across other performance categories, and a crowded backcourt could significantly limit his appeal. The odds of him getting anything close to 40.0 minutes a night is slim to none, and with the presence of a more experienced and balanced Jose Alvarado, the upside that he has exhibited could be even more challenging to realize should his time on the floor diminish. The Pelicans appear to be trying to figure out the best way to leverage the talents of their backcourt; this could make rostering Hawkins a risk unless you are playing in a deep league format. Keeping him on your radar may be best until things are sorted out in season-long and daily formats. Hawkins has a usage rate of 18.5 percent, a plus-minus of -2.0, and is averaging 29.1 minutes, 13.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 0.6 steals per game while shooting 39.3 percent from the floor and 36.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Jordan Hawkins totaled 25 points (8-17 FG, 5-12 3PT, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, and three assists in the Pelicans’ 131-110 loss to the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Hawkins scored 25.0 points in the Pelicans' loss to the Mavericks, extending his streak of double-digit scoring performances to six. Since being given more opportunities in the rotation following CJ McCollum's departure, he has seized the chance, quickly demonstrating his value to the team, even as a rookie. From a fantasy perspective, he currently relies heavily on scoring to support his value, but this may evolve as he gets more comfortable in the rotation and as a professional in the league. Hawkins warrants must-roster consideration in most season-long leagues, particularly for bolstering your points categories. He could be considered for play in daily formats, but the uncertainties in production and value dependencies might make it challenging to justify a heavy investment in this young talent. Hawkins has a usage rate of 19.4 percent and a plus-minus of -3.7. He is averaging 29.3 minutes, 13.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 0.7 steals per game, shooting 37.7 percent from the floor and 36.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Jordan Hawkins scored 10 points (3-13 FG, 2-9 3P, 2-2 FT) with two rebounds and two assists in the Pelicans 136-124 loss to the Mavericks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Hawkins has had a bit of an up-and-down season shooting-wise for the Pelicans this year, despite playing well overall. If anything, he's shot well from three so far this season, so expect him to bounce back in the rematch against Dallas on Tuesday.

Jordan Hawkins scored 31 points (10-19 FG, 7-14 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in the Pelicans 134-116 loss against the Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact

With CJ McCollum sidelined, Hawkins was placed in the starting lineup and took full advantage of the opportunity. He will be one of the top targets off the waiver wire in fantasy leagues as he should remain in the starting lineup for as long as McCollum is sidelined.
