James Johnson proved to be a valuable starter and reserve for New Orleans over an 11-game stretch from April 1-18, but he’s been sidelined for four straight games by a right adductor strain. The Pelicans may get the forward back in uniform for their three-game road trip starting Wednesday in Denver, with Johnson listed as probable. Meanwhile, Steven Adams (right first MTP sprain) is questionable, having sat out Monday’s win over the Clippers.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker (left high ankle sprain) and Josh Hart (right thumb surgery) remain listed as out for New Orleans.
