The Pelicans list star forward Zion Williamson as questionable for the game with personal reasons. Williamson missed Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs with the same designation. The two-time all-star has played in 28 games this season, missing a huge chunk of the year with a major hamstring injury.

New Orleans will have five players out against the Pistons, including Herb Jones (shoulder), Dejounte Murray (Achilles), Brandon Boston (ankle), Lester Quinones (G League), and Keion Brooks, Jr. (G League). Also listed as questionable is Yves Missi (ankle), and Kelly Olynyk (finger).
