Pelicans' Jameer Nelson (personal) available to play Tuesday night

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jameer Nelson is with the team and is available to play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics.

What It Means:

Nelson is averaging 13.8 FanDuel points in 21.9 minutes per game. He costs $3,500 at the point guard spot.
