Resting Sunday
Bey (rest) will remain out for Sunday's game in Minnesota.
Analyse
Bey will end up sitting out New Orleans' final three regular-season games for rest purposes, which should continue to lead to more minutes for Micah Peavy and Josh Oduro. Bey scored a career-high 17.7 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting from the field and 84.1 percent from the free-throw line in his first season with the Pelicans.

Will rest Friday
Bey will be rested Friday against the Celtics.
Analyse
This will be Bey's second straight maintenance day, which isn't a surprise since the team has nothing to play for. Bey could also be held out of the season finale Sunday.

Questionable for Friday
Bey is questionable for Friday's game versus Boston for rest purposes.
Analyse
The Pelicans are considering holding Bey out Friday. If the forward is ultimately downgraded to out, Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole would likely see significant playing time for the shorthanded Pelicans.

Not expected to play Tuesday
Head coach James Borrego said Bey will dress for Tuesday's game against the Jazz, but he doesn't expect him to play, Erin Summers of the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network reports.
Analyse
Derik Queen figures to see heavy minutes Tuesday evening with both Bey and Zion Williamson not expected to touch the court, so Queen is on the radar as a potential target in daily fantasy leagues. Bey's next chance to play will come Friday in Boston.
