4 years agoNew Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Zion Williamson (thumb) has been cleared to return for Tuesday's game against the Hawks, ending his absence at three games due to a sprained right thumb. Williamson has been an elite offensive force during the second half of the season in particular, having scored at least 23 points in each of his last 24 games, averaging 28.8 PPG in that span. With Brandon Ingram (toe) unavailable versus Atlanta, Williamson should see a larger offensive role, even as his minutes may be monitored in his first game back. Season-long fantasy managers can deploy Williamson in lineups without hesitation.--Jesse Borek
