Double-doubles in defeat
Queen amassed 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to the Pacers.
Analysis
After finishing with just four points on 0-of-5 shooting in Wednesday's win over the Nets, Queen bounced back Friday. The rookie big man was one of six Pelicans players to score in double figures and has posted at least 10 points in four of his last five outings. Additionally, the Maryland product grabbed a game-best 12 boards, securing his fourth double-double in eight appearances this month. During that span, Queen has averaged 10.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.5 assists across 27.1 minutes per tilt.

Double-double in Tuesday's loss
Queen finished with 10 points (5-10 FG), 13 rebounds and five assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 122-116 loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis
It was the ninth double-double of the season for Queen, seven of which have come in his last 14 games. Over that stretch, the rookie center is averaging 12.9 points, 9.6 boards, 4.9 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 28.1 minutes. He continues to look like something of a steal himself as the 13th overall pick in the 2025 Draft.
