The 9-year vet last appeared in an NBA contest during the 2021-22 season when he logged 53 games for the Pelicans and Trail Blazers. Snell may get a shot to join the parent club at some point during the regular season, but fantasy managers shouldn’t expect meaningful production even if he does.

This is the Tony Snell special. He’s simply not a good fantasy option, and if this is where most of Brandon Ingram’s (hamstring) minutes go, there aren’t going to be any good pickups in New Orleans.

With Brandon Ingram (hamstring) ruled out, Snell will fill the resulting void in the starting lineup. While he hasn't been the most reliable of fantasy options since joining the Pelicans, Snell is in a spot where he can provide 3-pointers and defensive stats to managers in need of a streamer capable of providing that kind of production. 

Snell is on his fifth team in four years, and while shipping out guys like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Josh Hart could leave some room for Snell, his fantasy game leaves much to be desired. In related news, C.J. McCollum will also make his debut tomorrow, and he's ever-so-slightly more enticing.
