Karlo Matkovic

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 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.

Matkovic has not played since November 17th. He's only averaging 4.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 0.8 assists; however, with Herbert Jones (calf) now out, Matkovic could see a slightly increased role.
