New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (knee) will be active on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks. The rookie big man hurt his right knee just before the All-Star break, and the Pelicans initially listed him as questionable for Friday's action. Missi's performances have been inconsistent, but he has had a solid rookie campaign. The 20-year-old is averaging 8.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 27.1 minutes. Currently, Dallas' frontcourt is weak due to injuries, presenting Missi with an excellent opportunity to fill up the box score on Friday night.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (knee) is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The rookie big man suffered a hyperextended knee right before the All-Star break, and the time off may have given him enough time to come back before missing any games, but it looks like the team will decide leading up to tip-off. With Kelly Olynyk set to make his Pelicans debut, he becomes an instant streaming option if Missi has to be sidelined. Plus, Karlo Matkovic could help fantasy managers in deeper leagues after putting up 13 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals, and three blocks in their last game.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (knee) will not compete in any of the NBA All-Star activities this weekend after the team announced that he suffered a hyperextended right knee in their game on Thursday. The rookie was only able to play 12 minutes against the Sacramento Kings and posted two points, two rebounds, and a block. The Pelicans announced that they'll re-evaluate him next week after the All-Star break. If he is forced to miss any games, Karlo Matkovic could see more time after dropping 13 points, five rebounds, two assists, three blocks, and two steals in their last game. Kelly Olynyk may also be thrown into the starting five after coming over in the trade involving Brandon Ingram.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (illness) will return from a two-game absence on Friday versus the Memphis Grizzlies. He is back in the fold after recovering from a non-COVID illness. Missi will resume his duties as New Orleans' starting center. The 20-year-old Baylor product has experienced ups and downs during his rookie campaign, but he is averaging nearly a double-double with 9.1 points and 8.2 rebounds. Missi has slightly boosted his numbers in matchups against the Grizzlies, going for 11.0 points and 10.0 rebounds with 3.0 blocks.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Missi will miss his second game this season due to a non-COVID illness. He's made 41 appearances during his rookie campaign, averaging 9.1 points and 8.2 rebounds. His next opportunity to play comes on Monday versus the Jazz. With the 20-year-old Missi sidelined, Daniel Theis and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will likely see more minutes on the floor.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (back) has gone from questionable to available on Monday and will suit up against the Los Angeles Clippers. The rookie big man is suffering from a mid-back contusion, but it won't force him to miss a game. Through the first 31 games of his career, Missi averages 9.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 blocks per game. He's been a better fantasy contributor in deeper leagues, especially in category formats.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Despite dealing with a sprained right ankle, Missi has been upgraded from questionable to available. The rookie center is coming off an impressive performance against Atlanta, where he logged 35 minutes, scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Missi has recorded a double-double in three of his last five games, and fantasy managers will be hoping for a similar level of production on Thursday.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will return to the lineup on Monday against Indiana. A shoulder problem kept Missi out from Friday's 112-108 loss to Golden State, and he was initially considered questionable for Monday's game. After starting each of his previous 11 outings, Missi will come off the bench versus the Pacers. Daniel Theis will make a second consecutive start. This is a tough matchup for the Pelicans centers, as only nine teams have allowed fewer fantasy points to opposing fives than the Pacers this season.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) has been labeled as questionable for Monday's matchup against Indiana. He dropped out of the lineup on Friday versus Golden State due to a sore left shoulder and might now miss another contest. Daniel Theis jumped into the starting lineup as Missi's replacement, but he has mostly been out of the rotation recently and did very little Friday night. With Zion Williamson (hamstring) also out of commission, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl has become a significant piece in the frontcourt rotation and should continue to play an important role on Monday if Missi remains out.
New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will sit out Friday's game against Golden State. He has been ruled out for the contest after carrying a questionable tag on the initial injury report. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Trey Jemison are set to benefit from Missi's absence. Robinson-Earl looks like the better fantasy option of the two, although he's not been overly productive with his minutes. In this season's first two meetings with the Warriors, New Orleans went with Daniel Theis as the starting center, but he's been out of the rotation in recent weeks.
