The New Orleans Pelicans have lost three in a row and just got the news that Brandon Ingram is going to have to miss more time with an injured hamstring.

That’s how this season as been so far, as every time the Pelicans start rolling, they suffer a setback.

The last time I did this stock market, things seemed as hopeful as they had been in a long time, so let’s hope the Pelicans can stay afloat while Ingram is out and get the trends going in the right direction again.

New Orleans Pelicans stock market: March 10, 2022

The fringe

Garrett Temple-Trending down

Temple is no longer in the rotation. As bad as the Pels’ bench has been lately though, I wouldn’t be shocked if we see him back in there at some point.

Trey Murphy III- Trending down

Murphy III did play 24 minutes against the Magic, and with Ingram out, now might be the time for him to get a chance. But it’s too early to tell and he only scored four points against Orlando.

Gary Clark- Trending down

Clark has also been out of the rotation.

Willie Hernangomez- Holding steady

I have to hand it to Hernangomez, he probably has the least consistent role of any player on this team, as he’ll sit for a few games, play big minutes, then barely play again. But he stays ready and is a positive bench presence and been consistent in that role all season.
