Pelicans' Yves Missi: Records double-double in win
Rotowire
Missi posted 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 victory over the Clippers.
Missi got the start Thursday due to the absence of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) during the second leg of this back-to-back set. He made the most of his minutes with his first double-double since Jan. 25. Missi has been relegated to a secondary role in the rotation. As a backup center who rarely sees over 25 minutes per game, his fantasy potential is limited, but he's been a strong source of blocks lately. He's averaging 5.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 assists on 18.5 minutes per game in 11 outings (three starts) since the All-Star break.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Grabs 10 boards, blocks five shots
Rotowire
Missi recorded four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and five blocks across 28 minutes during Monday's 129-111 victory over the Mavericks.
Missi moved into the starting lineup, with Dejounte Murray ruled out due to illness. Rather than replace Murray, the coaching staff decided to shuffle the rotation, allowing Missi to slide into the starting center role. Rewarding anyone who took a chance on him, Missi turned in a solid performance, including a season-high five blocks. While Missi is a name to monitor, recent games would suggest that he is nothing more than a streaming consideration on most nights.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Joining starting five
Rotowire
Missi is starting Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Missi will slide into the starting rotation with Dejounte Murray (illness) sitting out Monday. Missi's last start dates back to March 5 against the Kings, when he finished with seven points, two rebounds, one assist, two steals and four blocks in 16 minutes.
Missi posted six points (3-6 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 victory over the Raptors.
Missi hasn't scored in double digits since Jan. 25 against the Kings, but the second-year center contributed on the defensive side of the floor with two blocked shots. Wednesday was his 23rd multi-block game of the season, three of which have come over his last four outings. Since returning from a seven-game absence in February due to a strained left calf, Missi has averaged 5.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 14.9 minutes per game.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Running with starters
Rotowire
Missi is starting Thursday's game against the Kings.
Missi will make his first start since Jan. 2 as he'll rotate into the first unit with Dejounte Murray (rest) sidelined Thursday. Missi is averaging 5.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in three games since returning from a left calf strain.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Logs 12 minutes in return
Rotowire
Missi (calf) produced five points (2-3 FG, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and one assist across 12 minutes during Saturday's 115-105 win over the Jazz.
Missi returned from a five-game absence due to a left calf strain and handled a small role off the bench. Though DeAndre Jordan made a fourth straight start at center, he could eventually drop out of the rotation and open up a spot on the top unit for Missi. Even if that materializes, Missi would still likely need to move into a consistent 20-plus-minute role before he re-emerges as a viable streaming option for rebounds and blocks.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Cleared to play Saturday
Rotowire
Missi (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Missi has been given the green light to return from a five-game absence due to a left calf strain. It's unclear how the Pelicans' rotation will be impacted by Missi's return, given that DeAndre Jordan has started each of the last three games while rookie first-rounder Derik Queen has come off the bench in each of his last two outings. Missi has averaged 6.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.6 blocks over 21.6 minutes per game in 20 appearances (one start) since the new year.
