Ryan (calf) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan's absence streak will extend to six games Wednesday after being downgraded from doubtful to out with a right calf strain. His next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with the Spurs.

Ryan (calf) has been upgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan has missed the Pelicans' past five games due to a mild right calf strain. Ryan was estimated for a 10-14 day recovery, and he appears to be firmly in line with that window. Dyson Daniels, Jordan Hawkins and Naji Marshall have been busy in his absence.

The Pelicans announced Monday that Ryan will be sidelined for approximately 10-to-14 days due to a mild right calf strain.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan is averaging 23.0 minutes per game this season, so his absence will open up significant playing time, especially if CJ McCollum (lung) and Trey Murphy (knee) remain sidelined. Jordan Hawkins has the most comparable skill set to Ryan among New Orleans' reserves, so he's an obvious choice to take most of Ryan's minutes, but Jose Alvarado, Dyson Daniels and Naji Marshall could also see slightly larger roles until Ryan is cleared to return.

Ryan is questionable for Monday's game against Sacramento due to right calf soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan has appeared in each of the Pelicans' first 13 games this season, but it's unclear whether he'll be available against the Kings. If he's unavailable, Jordan Hawkins, Naji Marshall and Dyson Daniels could see some additional minutes. For fantasy purposes, Ryan is mostly a threes specialist, hitting better than 47 percent of his attempts from downtown to begin the year.

Ryan closed with 10 points (3-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan continues to be a serviceable three-point streaming option, even in standard leagues, and connected on another three triples Saturday. While Jordan Hawkins has elevated his game, Ryan has remained steady, plateauing after a short period of standard-league relevance. While he could get hot at any time, Ryan's overall upside is too limited to make him anything more than a spot start outside of deeper formats.

Ryan accumulated 17 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and one assist over 25 minutes during Monday's 134-116 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan seems to have landed in the right spot after stints with the Celtics, Lakers and Timberwolves over the last two seasons. His shooting acumen at the perimeter has been his strongest suit. He's averaging 6.1 attempts beyond the arc with a conversion percentage of 41.9 percent, which provides an added dimension when he steps in for relief.

Ryan is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan moves back to the bench with the return of Zion Williamson. Ryan is averaging 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game when coming off the bench (four appearances) this season.

Ryan had 20 points (7-10 FG, 6-8 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Getting his first career NBA start with both Zion Williamson (rest) and Brandon Ingram (knee) sidelined, Ryan parlayed the opportunity into a career-best scoring performance. The undrafted forward out of Chattanooga has already suited up for four NBA squads in his three seasons, but he seems to have found a home in New Orleans, averaging 24.2 minutes per game in the early going and shooting 41.2 percent (14-for-34) from three-point range.

Ryan will enter the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pistons, Christian Clark of NOLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Zion Williamson is getting the night off for rest, as Thursday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set. Ryan has played 21.5 minutes per game through four contests this season, averaging 7.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 three-pointers.

Ryan notched 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 130-102 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Ryan led all New Orleans bench players in scoring and minutes while finishing as one of six players with a double-digit point total in Monday's blowout loss to Golden State. It was Ryan's first double-digit scoring effort this season, and he's averaging 8.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 22.3 minutes through three games.
