Several New Orleans Pelicans players have had their injury statuses updated to Probable ahead of the 2026-27 season. Dejounte Murray is expected to reclaim a starting role entering training camp, where his scoring, facilitation, and defense should provide veteran stability alongside the team's younger guards.

Trey Murphy III is also listed as Probable and projects to remain one of New Orleans' leading scorers. His three-point shooting and secondary shot creation make him a key piece alongside Zion Williamson, who is likewise Probable and expected to enter 2026-27 as the franchise centerpiece and the team's primary scoring option in the interior.

Yves Missi, the 22-year-old center, is Probable as well. The Pelicans have reportedly turned away trade inquiries for the young interior defender this offseason, a sign of how highly the organization values him. He will continue competing for frontcourt minutes alongside Derik Queen and DeAndre Jordan.

Over in Houston, Kevin Durant is listed as Probable entering 2026-27. Durant helped the Rockets to a 52-30 record and a playoff berth last season despite dealing with late-year injuries. With no major offseason changes to Houston's core, he is expected to again serve as the club's primary scoring option as the Rockets pursue a deeper postseason run.

No games were played yesterday, so there are no standout performances to report.
