Queen notched eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 120-94 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

With the Pelicans buried in the standings, the rookie first-rounder looks to be cemented as the team's top center from here on out. Queen has been prone to the occasional dud, but he's shown plenty of potential across the board in 2025-26. Over his last eight outings, Queen has averaged 11.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 25.7 minutes per game.

Queen accumulated 16 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 102-95 loss to Charlotte.

EDGE Analysis

This was a terrific showing for the rookie as he continues to be a bright spot for the club. Although the Pelicans do not have their first-round pick this season, the team may end up being sellers at the trade deadline. If they unload a player or two, Queen could potentially see a bump in usage.

Queen posted 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Friday's 114-106 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Queen snapped a four-game, single-digit scoring streak in Friday's win, and he did a much better job of asserting himself in the offense and taking advantage of matchups whenever he had a smaller defender on him. The Pelicans have now won three of their past four games, and they'll look to keep the good times rolling Saturday in Philadelphia.

Queen accumulated four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Sunday's 104-95 win over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

It was one of Queen's worst performances of his rookie season, and he was soundly outplayed by Yves Missi. Queen's starting role appears to be safe for now, but he certainly has some competition. Over his last appearances, Queen has averaged 8.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.0 minutes per contest.

Queen amassed 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

After finishing with just four points on 0-of-5 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Nets, Queen bounced back Friday. The rookie big man was one of six Pelicans players to score in double figures and has posted at least 10 points in four of his last five outings. Additionally, the Maryland product grabbed a game-best 12 boards, securing his fourth double-double in eight appearances this month. During that span, Queen has averaged 10.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists across 27.1 minutes per tilt.

Queen finished with 10 points (5-10 FG), 13 rebounds and five assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

It was the ninth double-double of the season for Queen, seven of which have come in his last 14 games. Over that stretch, the rookie center is averaging 12.9 points, 9.6 boards, 4.9 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 28.1 minutes. He continues to look like something of a steal himself as the 13th overall pick in the 2025 Draft.

Queen racked up 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 16 rebounds, 12 assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Friday's 128-107 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

This was the second triple-double of Queen's career, and he set new career highs in boards and dimes. The rookie has been rolling over the past month, flirting with mid-round value behind averages of 12.9 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks per contest.

Queen closed with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 13 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 111-103 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Queen nearly triple-doubled for the Pelicans, but the team dropped their eighth straight contest. Queen has put up some solid counting stats with 11.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks over his last six games, but he's shooting 41.5 percent from the field and 61.1 percent from the line over his last six games.

Queen (quadriceps) is available for Sunday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Queen has been cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a left quadriceps contusion, so Yves Missi will likely revert to a bench role for Sunday's contest. Queen is averaging 13.1 points, 7.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks over 25.8 minutes per game in his rookie season.

Queen (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie center did not play against the Trail Blazers on Friday due to a left quadriceps contusion, but if he returns Sunday then he would likely replace Yves Missi in the starting lineup. Queen ended the month of December having averaged 15.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals over 29.1 minutes per game.
