Yves Missi

After a two-game absence, Missi is available to play on Saturday. His return likely means that Karlo Matkovic will head to the bench, but this does not affect fantasy basketball. As a starter, Missi is worth streaming in deep leagues while the Pelicans remain without Zion Williamson.

Missi (foot) is available for Saturday's game in Brooklyn.

Missi has missed the Pelicans' last two games, which has allowed Karlo Matkovic to fill out the reserve center minutes. If Missi remains out, Matkovic will maintain that role, but that hasn't yielded him enough time to be worth rostering in standard leagues.

Missi started in place of Zion Williamson on Sunday against the Lakers, but missed Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves with a sore right foot and ankle. Missi is set to miss another game with his various injuries against the Timberwolves on Thursday. Kevon Looney could see additional minutes, but isn't worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Missi is dealing with a sore right foot and ankle and will join Zion Williamson (adductor) on the sideline for Tuesday's game. While additional rotation minutes may be available to veteran Kevon Looney, he is not a player to roster in fantasy leagues.
