Nearly triple-doubles
Queen recorded 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and three steals over 37 minutes during Tuesday's 156-137 win over the Jazz.
Analyse
With Zion Williamson, Saddiq Bey and Herbert Jones all sitting out despite being healthy, Queen entered the starting lineup and nearly put up a triple-double. The Pelicans have nothing on the line in the final two games of the regular season, so Queen may get another extended look or two.

Starting Tuesday
Queen is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Jazz.
Analyse
Queen should get all the run he can handle with Yves Missi (hand) out and Zion Williamson and Saddiq Bey not expected to play. Additionally, Queen will make for an attractive target in daily leagues with a favorable matchup against Utah. As a starter this season, Queen owns averages of 12.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest.

Productive off bench Thursday
Queen closed with 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 28 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 118-106 loss to Portland.
Analyse
The seven dimes represented Queen's best effort in that category since Feb. 4. The rookie center has scored in double digits in four straight games as his usage ticks back up, averaging 12.3 points, 7.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks over that span in 24.0 minutes a contest.
