Karlo

Matkovic

Williamson and Missi are back and will be in the starting lineup for Monday’s game. Their returns mean Bruce Brown and Karlo Matkovic head to the bench, lowering the fantasy ceilings of both players. While Brown and Matkovic can provide deep-league value as reserves, neither is a must-hold.

Missi is available after a two-game absence, with Karlo Matkovic replacing him in the starting lineup. With Olynyk also available, Matkovic will likely head to the bench, which lowers his fantasy ceiling considerably.

Missi has missed the Pelicans’ last two games, with fellow rookie Karlo Matkovic replacing him in the starting lineup. That could remain the case on Monday if Missi misses another game, but the Pelicans may also have Zion Williamson available. Matkovic offers limited value as a streamer, especially when Williamson and Kelly Olynyk are in the rotation.

Olynyk is back after missing Thursday’s game for personal reasons and will start. Brown will also start, however, as the Pelicans are without Zion Williamson for Saturday’s matchup. Brown is worth streaming in deep leagues due to Zion’s absence, while Matkovic has added value with Yves Missi unavailable.

Missi did not play in Thursday’s loss to the Magic, with Karlo Matkovic replacing him in the starting lineup. With Kelly Olynyk available, the Pelicans could use him at the five if Missi misses another game. This lineup would ensure Bruce Brown another start, preserving his streaming value.

With both Yves Missi (ankle) and Kelly Olynyk (personal) sidelined against Orlando, Matkovic returned to the staring lineup. In what was a disappointing game for the Pelicans as a team, Matkovic was no exception. He had been productive in his previous starts, but the only redeeming quality of his 26 minutes on Thursday were the two swats. However, if both Missi and Olynyk remain out in San Antonio on Saturday, Matkovic should be in line for another start.

With both Yves Missi and Kelly Olynyk sidelined, Matkovic will get the starting nod for the fourth time this season. He averaged 11.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game during his previous starts and is worth streaming against Orlando.

Missi will miss his first game since January 20, and with Kelly Olynyk out, Karlo Matkovic could slot in as the Pelicans’ starting center against the Magic. Matkovic averaged 11.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in three prior starts this season.

Missi has been durable this season despite dealing with a knee issue last month. The 20-year-old center’s fantasy has taken a hit since the Pelicans acquired Kelly Olynyk, though he’s already been ruled out against the Magic. Thursday would be a good night for Missi to be available, Karlo Matkovic would be worth streaming if he isn’t.

Olynyk has fit in perfectly with the Pelicans since coming over from the Raptors in the Brandon Ingram trade. The 33-year-old center is worth rostering as long as he’s starting, but the Pelicans are beginning to give him days off for rest as their season winds down. Karlo Matkovic will likely move into the starting lineup and has fantasy appeal as well.
