Nance accumulated four points (2-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Monday's 113-93 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Nance logged just 19 minutes off the bench Monday, making his return after missing three straight contests due to an Achilles issue. While it was great to see him back on the floor, his playing time and subsequent production were both a little underwhelming. Chances are he was on a minute restriction, and given the fact the game was a blowout, he was simply not required to log heavy minutes. He remains a hold in standard fantasy formats despite having a somewhat inconsistent role from one night to the next.

Nance (Achilles) will be available Monday against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
This is great news for New Orleans, as having Nance available means they'll have 10 players in total for Monday's contest. The veteran big man is averaging 9.0 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists across 23.2 minutes per game this season, but don't be surprised if he ends up having a bigger workload due to how shorthanded the Pelicans will be in the frontcourt.

Head coach Willie Green said Nance (Achilles) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but the big man's availability for Thursday's matchup against the Spurs remains to be determined, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance was sidelined for Monday's loss to Milwaukee due to soreness in his Achilles, but it appears the issue isn't too severe. However, the reserve big man could be sidelined for at least one more contest. Further clarity on the situation will likely be available when the Pelicans' release their next injury report, which should occur sometime Wednesday afternoon.
