The Pelicans are expected to sign Hamilton to a 10-day contract, Shams Charania of The Vertical reports.

Analysis:

Hamilton has been with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers since mid-February, and with the Pelicans' current roster situation, they could use a healthy body in the rotation. He last appeared in an NBA game last season with the Clippers, averaging 8.7 minutes per game over 14 appearances. If Hamilton does sign with the Pelicans, he will add depth to a team that has turned to giving heavy minutes to Luke Babbitt and Alonzo Gee on the wing.
