Jordan isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan will revert back to the bench with Zion Williamson returning to the hardwood Tuesday evening. Jordan struggled to see much playing time even when in the starting five, so he's unlikely to have much upside in Los Angeles.

Jordan contributed three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan was given the starting nod for the fourth straight game, although his playing time tells a different story. Despite starting, he has logged no more than 13 minutes in each of the past two games, an indication that he could slide back out of the rotation, especially with Yves Missi returning from a calf strain. Even if Jordan can remain a nightly part of the rotation, his days of being a viable fantasy asset are now well behind him.

Jordan amassed six points (2-3 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds and four blocks in 31 minutes during Saturday's 126-111 victory over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
After not touching an NBA court since Oct 29, Jordan was thrust into the starting lineup Saturday. Not only did he log a season-high 31 minutes, but he rewarded anyone who took a chance on him by gobbling up a game-high 15 rebounds to go with four blocked shots. It's unlikely Jordan will put up these type of numbers consistently, but he appears to still have the ability to crash the boards and make an impact on defense.

Jordan will start against the 76ers on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center hasn't seen game action since Oct. 29 but will join the starting lineup in favor of Bryce McGowens on Saturday. Over two regular-season outings (one start) thus far, Jordan has averaged 4.5 points and 5.0 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per contest.

Jordan ended with two points (1-1 FG) and five rebounds over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 122-88 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan was given the starting nod, an indication of how desperate things are in New Orleans at the moment. The Pelicans have lost all four games to begin the season, the last two by significant margins. Despite starting, Jordan was a non-factor during his limited time on the floor. To be clear, he should not be starting for an NBA team, nor should he be on any fantasy rosters.

Jordan is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game in Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Jordon looked decent across 11 minutes in his regular-season debut Monday, but he'll draw a tough matchup against Nikola Jokic on Wednesday, so he's still not the most attractive target despite the starter designation. Joining him in the first unit will be Jeremiah Fears, Trey Murphy, Herbert Jones and Zion Williamson.

Jordan posted seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 11 minutes during Monday's 122-90 loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The 37-year-old big man looked surprisingly spry out there, throwing down a thunderous jam for his first bucket, and he brought some much-needed size to a New Orleans team that was without Zion Williamson (foot) and Kevon Looney (knee). The Pelicans will fly to Denver for their next matchup with the Nuggets on Wednesday, and if Williamson is again sidelined for that one, Jordan should remain in the rotation.

Jordan (recently signed) isn't listed on the Pelicans' injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans on Friday but didn't play in the team's loss to the Spurs that night. The veteran big man isn't guaranteed to see the floor against Boston, though he could enter the rotation if Yves Missi (ankle) and Karlo Matkovic (back) are ultimately ruled out.

Head coach Willie Green said Jordan (recently signed) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Spurs, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan signed a one-year deal with the Pelicans on Friday and isn't expected to suit up against San Antonio. In the likely event the veteran big man joins Yves Missi (ankle), Kevon Looney (knee) and Karlo Matkovic (back) on the sideline, Derik Queen and Hunter Dickinson are expected to see increased minutes at center.

Jordan signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Pelicans on Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Pelicans have had some tough injury luck in the frontcourt, so Jordan is being brought in to bolster the team's rebounding and interior defense. Yves Missi (ankle) and Karlo Matkovic (back) are both questionable to play Friday against the Spurs, while Kevon Looney (knee) is sidelined. That means Jordan could be thrown into action right away.
