Analysis:

Anderson has stepped up in a big way since Anthony Davis went down with a hand injury, and this has caused rampant speculation about whether the team may try to move him. However, according to "sources within the team," Anderson remains a crucial part of the Pelican's future vision. Fantasy owners are surely appreciative of the career-high 21.8 points per game he has posted this season, and if he is to continue at this pace, they can be almost certain it will be with the Pelicans.
