Ingram is averaging 23.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 5.3 assists for the Pelicans this season. Injecting his scoring back into the lineup would give New Orleans the boost it needs to compete with the high-flying Warriors. Led by Steph Curry's dynamic shooting, Golden State is No. 3 in the league in scoring (119.6) and No. 3 in three-point shooting percentage (38.7%).

The Pelicans have been unable to find their footing with all the injuries piled up. In addition to Ingram possibly returning to the lineup, Trey Murphy III will play on Friday. The former Virginia standout is not cleared to play back-to-back games after suffering a hamstring injury during training camp. Murphy III averages 15.5 points and five rebounds per game for the season.

New Orleans listed veteran CJ McCollum as doubtful for the game against Golden State. The veteran guard has missed the last 12 games with a thigh injury. New Orleans and Golden State tipoff is on Friday at 6:30 p.m. CST.
