Graham (hip) is unavailable for Sunday's game against the Hawks, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham will miss his first game since Jan. 25 due to right hip soreness, but he may be able to play in the second half of the back-to-back set Monday at Charlotte. Tony Snell, Jose Alvarado and Tyrone Wallace could see increased run for the Pelicans in his absence.

Graham is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hawks due to right hip soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was able to play through the injury in Friday's win over the Spurs, but it's unclear if he'll be available against Atlanta. He contributed nine points, two assists, one rebound and two steals in 21 minutes of action Friday, so he could see a similar workload if he's able to go Sunday.

Graham (hip) is available Friday against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Graham dealt with a sore right hip ahead of Friday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through the injury against San Antonio. He's started each of the last three matchups and has averaged 13.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 7.0 assists in 30.0 minutes per game during that time.

Graham is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs due to right hip soreness, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham has taken on a moderately increased role in the absence of Brandon Ingram (hamstring), joining the starting five alongside CJ McCollum. If he sits out, more minutes could be in store for Jose Alvarado (finger), but he's also questionable.

Graham logged 19 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and three steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 142-120 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
With CJ McCollum (COVID-19 protocols) and Brandon Ingram (hamstring) both out, Graham drew his first start since Feb. 15. The fourth-year guard recorded his most points since Jan. 31, his most assists since Feb. 8 and his most rebounds since Feb. 17. He also registered at least three conversions from beyond the arc for a second consecutive game and for the seventh time during the campaign. As long as the aforementioned duo remains sidelined, Graham should have plenty of opportunities to replicate Friday's performance.

Graham logged six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Friday's 124-90 victory over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was unable to cash in during what could have been a nice opportunity Friday. With the game well and truly under wraps, the second and third units were able to get onto the court down the stretch. However, Graham barely touched the sides when it comes to fantasy production, and moving forward, he should be viewed as just a deeper league asset.

Graham will remain in a bench role coming out of the All-Star break, Andrew Lopez of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Willie Green moved Graham to the bench for the final game before the break, opting to roll with a starting five of Jonas Valanciunas, Jaxson Hayes, Herbert Jones, Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum. Green confirmed Thursday that he plans to continue using Graham as a reserve for the time being in an effort to replace some of the scoring the Pelicans lost by dealing away Nickeil Alexander-Walker as part of the McCollum trade. Graham entered the break in the midst of a major slump, as he averaged just 6.9 points on 29.3 percent shooting (26.8% 3Pt) over his last nine contests.

Graham is coming off the bench Thursday against Dallas, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.
EDGE Analysis
Graham has scored just seven total points over his last three contests, so the team will decide to roll with a bigger starting five Thursday evening. Jaxson Hayes joins the first unit in Graham's place.

Graham recorded zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 20 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
It was another ugly performance for Graham, who's now scored fewer than 10 points in five of his last six appearances. During that stretch, he's shooting a ghastly 27.6 percent from the field with the majority of his attempts coming from three-point range. Graham was so ineffective Saturday that coach Willie Green benched him for much of the second half, opting to instead ride with new addition CJ McCollum as well as Jose Alvarado. The Pelicans are one of only a handful of teams to play three more times before the break, so Graham will look to bounce back Monday against Toronto before facing Memphis (Tuesday) and Dallas (Thursday).

Graham recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 113-105 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Graham was by far the least impressive member of the starting five Friday despite logging 32 minutes. It certainly hasn't been a season to remember for Graham, who was viewed as a solid 12-team draftee back in October. Outside of his consistent production in the assists column, Graham's presence on a fantasy roster is neither here nor there.
