Nance notched 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 132-129 overtime loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Nance fell one rebound short of a double-double in the loss, putting together another balanced performance. Despite continuing to come off the bench, Nance is clearly the preferred option when the going gets tough. He is now the 62nd-ranked player on the season, scaling the heights of the top 15 over the past week. While there will be some ups and downs along the way, Nance's ability to contribute across multiple categories makes him a must-roster player in all formats.

Nance produced 15 points (6-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks across 34 minutes in Sunday's 129-124 overtime win over Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Nance enjoyed a big weekend in back-to-back home matchups against the Suns, generating a combined 32 points, 16 rebounds, nine assists, eight steals and three blocks between those contests. His playing time was up Sunday in part because starting center Jonas Valanciunas was battling foul trouble, but Nance had already been cutting into Valanciunas' playing time even in games where fouls haven't been an issue. Nance should be a strong pickup in 12-team category leagues if he can consistently get around 25 minutes.

Nance finished Friday's 128-117 victory over the Suns with 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, one block and four steals across 24 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Nance made his only three field-goal attempts in the first half for seven points, adding three assists and three rebounds to help New Orleans get out to a 55-52 lead at the break. He went 4-of-7 from the field for another 11 points in the second half while also grabbing six boards and three of his game-high four steals over the final two quarters. The Pelicans forward had gone three straight games without scoring in double figures prior to Friday's win over Phoenix and matched a season high with nine rebounds in the contest.

Nance (shoulder) indicated Wednesday he will play in the evening's game versus the Raptors, Erin Summers of Bally Sports New Orleans reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance will miss just one game because of shoulder soreness that surfaced following Friday's game versus the Grizzlies. He should resume his duties as a double-digit minutes contributor off the bench, as he's averaged 9.4 points and 5.3 rebounds over 22.4 minutes per game this year.

Nance (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Toronto, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Nance (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's game against the Thunder, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance has had three straight underwhelming performances, scoring six or fewer points and logging less than 20 minutes in each contest. If he ends up being available Monday, Nance is not expected to play a big role for New Orleans. He's averaged 9.0 points and 5.0 rebounds across 21.9 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

Nance produced four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 15 minutes during Friday's 132-111 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

Nance managed just 15 minutes in the loss, delivering managers another subpar performance. After a string of productive games, things have gone south for Nance, who has been unable to maintain 12-team value of late. He remains a back-end hold for those who can ride the ups and downs. However, for anyone needing immediate production, his upside is limited enough that moving on shouldn't come back to bite you later in the season.

Nance produced 16 points (7-8 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nance led the Pelicans' second unit in scoring along with posting a team-high rebound mark, notching his seventh game of the season with at least 10 points and five rebounds. Nance has scored in double figures eight times for New Orleans this year.

Nance chipped in 19 points (8-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 31 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 113-102 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

With Zion Williamson tending to a bruised foot, Trey Murphy moved into the starting lineup, but it was Nance who took the biggest advantage of the opportunity. The veteran forward has posted back-to-back impressive performances after hanging 22 points and nine boards on the Rockets on Saturday, and Nance will be an intriguing DFS option Wednesday against the Bulls if Williamson is sidelined again.
