Graham (foot) is questionable for Friday's contest against the Clippers, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham has yet to miss a game this season, but that streak could come to an end Friday as he is dealing with left foot soreness. If he is unable to suit up, then Tomas Satoransky could move into the starting lineup. However, the Pelicans could also elect to shift Nickeil Alexander-Walker to point guard and have Garrett Temple -- who has drawn five starts this season -- operate as the starting shooting guard.

Graham amassed 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Monday's loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
There wasn't anything spectacular about Graham's outing Monday, but the guard continued to anchor the Pelicans' offense with consistent play once again. Across the first 15 contests this year, Graham has only failed to record double figures just one time, and he has reached a season high of 21 points three different times. The former Kansas Jayhawk also leads the team in assists and steals.

Graham finished Monday's loss to the Mavs with eight points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 boards and one steal.
EDGE Analysis
As is typically the case with Graham, he lives and dies by the three ball, so when they aren't falling, his offensive output can suffer. Graham did salvage a decent night with 10 assists, but his up-and-down nature will likely continue to be a thorn in the side of fantasy managers. Over the last five games, Graham is averaging 13.0 points, 6.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.6 made threes, but he's shooting just 32.3 percent from the floor.

Graham totaled 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven assists and one rebound over 31 minutes in Wednesday's loss to Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
The point guard was one of five Pelicans to finish with double-digit points in the contest, and he tied Nickeil Alexander-Walker for the team lead in scoring. Graham also paced New Orleans with seven assists and four three-pointers in the loss. He has scored in double figures in each of his nine contests this season and is posting per-game averages of 17.0 points, 5.4 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 3.2 three-pointers and 1.6 steals overall.

Graham finished Tuesday's loss to the Suns with 12 points (4-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four steals, three rebounds and three turnovers.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was nursing a hip injury coming into the game, but he saw his regular workload (34 minutes) in a game the Pelicans controlled until blowing a big lead in the second half. As has been the case throughout Graham's career, he's capable of providing viable points, assists, threes and steals contributions, but fantasy managers will have to live with a very poor field goal percentage -- he's down to 36.9 percent FG on the season -- and volatile turnover rate.

Graham (hip) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Graham will be playing through left hip soreness. He's having a bounce-back season with averages of 17.9 points, 5.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.9 minutes.

Graham (hip) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Suns, Daniel Sallerson of the Pelicans Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham landed on the injury report Monday, but it doesn't appear to be serious and will likely be available Tuesday. The 26-year-old point guard has appeared in all seven contests for the Pelicans this season and is averaging 17.9 points, 5.1 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 32.9 minutes per game.

Graham is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to left adductor tightness, Christian Clark of NOLA News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear as to when Graham picked up the injury, but his status will be worth monitoring as Tuesday evening approaches. Kira Lewis would likely be in for more work if Graham is ultimately unable to go.

Graham posted 16 points (4-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Friday's loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Graham might have surpassed the 15-point mark once again, but he was far from efficient and endured a rough shooting night while making just 25 percent of his field-goal attempts. These shooting woes are nothing new with Graham, though, and his inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis certainly limit his upside as a scoring threat.

Graham had 21 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and a steal in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off of an up-and-down year in Charlotte, Graham has looked rejuvenated in New Orleans, where he's solidified himself in the starting backcourt alongside Nickeil Alexander-Walker. His five threes Wednesday broke him out of a two-game slump during which he hit just 2-of-16 attempts from downtown, bu prior to that he'd knocked down 10 threes in the Pels' first two games. Fantasy managers are well accustomed to Graham's drastic swings in production from night to night, and while he's a proven source of points, threes and assists, he can do major damage to the field goal percentage category.
