Brian Roberts started again on Saturday but hit just 1-of-8 shots for four points and two assists in an ugly loss to the Clippers. He's really been struggling, scoring seven or fewer points in four of his last five games and averaging just 7.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 0.6 steals over that stretch. He's hit just 31 percent of his shots in those games and is 3-of-14 from downtown during that stretch. He looks like the starting point guard the rest of the way now that Jrue Holiday's season is officially over, but Austin Rivers played 30 minutes and scored 19 points off the bench tonight. And given the fact that the Pelicans have shaken up their starting lineup recently, it's not out of the question that Roberts could be benched for Rivers at some point.

Brian Roberts battled foul trouble against the Suns on Friday, finishing with seven points, two boards, four assists, one steal and three turnovers. The news of Jrue Holiday going down for the season due to surgery on his tibia. Contrary to this game, Roberts has played well with a couple nice games in his last four while also showing some upside in steals, assists and 3-pointers. His field goal percentage won't be pretty, but he's worth owning in all standard leagues even with Tyreke Evans moving into the starting lineup.

Brian Roberts had 17 points, two rebounds, three assists and three 3-pointers on 6-of-9 shooting in Wednesday's loss to Dallas. Roberts has been up and down while starting for Jrue Holiday, but has generally been helping fantasy owners. And with no timetable set and a total lack of information coming out of New Orleans on the status of Holiday, Roberts remains a must-own player until further notice. And with Anthony Davis possibly missing time with a shoulder injury, Roberts may end up scoring more than he has been going forward.

Brian Roberts and Co. got benched in the Pelicans' 123-110 loss to the Clippers on Monday, and Roberts finished with four points on 1-of-4 shooting, three rebounds, seven assists and one block in 19 minutes. All things considered it wasn't a bad line, especially compared to Eric Gordon's 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting in 23 minutes with two threes and that's it. Anthony Davis was excluded from the starters' benching and had a very nice 26 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks and 12-of-13 freebies, and Tyreke Evans continued to shoot terribly with 4-of-13 makes for eight points, four boards and five assists in 29 minutes. As an aside, we're waiting patiently to see if the basketball community catches on to the Monty Williams problem in New Orleans.

Brian Roberts hit just 2-of-13 shots for seven points, nine assists and two steals in Saturday's loss. Several Pelicans struggled with their shot tonight, but none as much as Roberts. He came in hot, scoring in double figures in seven straight games, but never got it going tonight. As long as Jrue Holiday is out with a mystery return date due to a leg injury, Roberts remains a must-own player.

Brian Roberts hit 4-of-8 shots for 10 points, four assists, a steal and a 3-pointer in 29 minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Knicks. We were hoping for a little more against Raymond Felton, but with Jrue Holiday still out indefinitely with his leg injury, Roberts deserves to be owned in all leagues, despite the mediocre production on some nights.

Brian Roberts scored 17 points in Wednesday's 102-98 win over the Bucks with four boards, five assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes. We still don't know what is going on with Jrue Holiday (leg) and the Pelicans have been more concerned about updating their mascot's beak than sharing info on their starting point guard. Roberts is finally starting to come around, so he's worth owning in most leagues. In case you were wondering, the Pelicans literally listed Pierre the Pelican as "out" with a broken beak in the official injury report. The report is attached in the link below.

Brian Roberts scored 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting (including three treys) with three rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes in Monday's loss to the Raptors. This is a bit better than an average outing for Roberts, and owners can continue using him as a very low-end point guard option until Jrue Holiday returns, whenever that will be.

Brian Roberts stole the ball a season-high four times vs. the Nets, with 12 points and four assists, but it wasn't enough as New Orleans fell 81-93 in Brooklyn on Sunday. Roberts has averaged just 0.5 steals per game as a starter, to go along with 11.6 points, 1.1 threes and 4.1 assists per game. Those unexceptional numbers should make it easier to dump him onto the waiver wire once Jrue Holiday (leg) returns to action, though for now Holiday remains 'out indefinitely.'
