Derik Queen contributes 17 points, eight rebounds
Derik Queen provided a boost off the bench with 17 points (6-of-10 FGs), eight rebounds and two assists against the Nuggets on Saturday.
With Yves Missi (knee) sidelined for this game, head coach Jamahl Mosley opted to start DeAndre Jordan in his place. Jordan played 20 minutes, while Queen played 24 and was more productive, as expected. The Pelicans don’t play again until Wednesday, which is the first leg of a back-to-back. If Missi remains out, Queen should see a boost, and Jordan still wouldn’t be worth streaming.
