Pelicans' Yves Missi: Headed to bench
Missi will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Zion Williamson is back, so Missi will return to the bench. As a member of the second unit this season, Missi has produced averages of 4.5 points and 3.0 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per contest.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Passive performance despite start
Missi closed Monday's 126-109 loss to Oklahoma City with six points (3-6 FG), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 22 minutes.
Missi chipped in across the board, albeit on low volume, despite moving back into the starting lineup. New Orleans continues to shuffle its frontcourt rotation, apparently looking for a winning formula. Missi could be worth taking a flier on, just in case he can build on this performance. However, his upside remains limited, especially with the Pelicans eyeing another disappointing season.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Joining starting five
Missi will start Monday's game against the Thunder, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Missi is in line for his first start since Nov. 2, when he finished with seven points, six rebounds and two swats over 22 minutes, also against Oklahoma City. He's slated for more opportunities Monday with both Zion Williamson (hamstring) and Saddiq Bey (ankle) out.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Resurfaces with full stat line
Missi had eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 124-106 loss to Golden State.
Missi's playing time is noteworthy -- it was his most minutes logged since the Nov. 2 loss in Oklahoma City. Part of his rise in court time could have been due to the blowout nature of Sunday's contest, but the second-year big man is at least worth keeping tabs on after recently falling out of the rotation. Missi has averaged 5.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 19.1 minutes per contest through eight games this season, shooting 63.3 percent from the floor.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Ejected Wednesday
Missi was ejected from Wednesday's game after getting into an altercation with Jerami Grant, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.
Missi and Grant got tangled up jostling for a rebound, and while there was some aggressive pushing and shoving, no punches were thrown. We wouldn't anticipate any further disciplinary action from the league for Missi's actions Wednesday night.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Doesn't see floor
Missi (coach's decision) did not see the floor during Monday's 121-98 loss to the Suns.
Following a three-game absence with an illness, Missi was removed from the injury report prior to this game, but coach Willie Green opted not to play him. Whether this was strictly a coach's decision or a matter of the team being cautious with the big man remains to be seen, but it was a puzzling decision as far as fantasy managers are concerned. A lot of eyes will be on the center rotation for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Upgraded to available
Missi (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Suns, Jim Eichenhofer of the Pelicans' official site reports.
Following a three-game absence with an illness, Missi is good to go Monday. The second-year big man should be able to play his normal role, which figures to cut into the playing time of Kevon Looney most noticeably. Missi has averaged 7.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks in 23.2 minutes per contest across five games this season.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Questionable for Monday
Missi (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.
Missi has missed three consecutive games due to illness and could be sidelined for a fourth Monday. If he's unable to go, Kevon Looney is likely to draw another start, while rookie Derik Queen should see plenty of opportunities in the frontcourt.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Listed out for Saturday
Missi (illness) is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Missi is set to miss a third consecutive game with an illness. The second-year big man should remain day-to-day prior to Monday's matchup with the Suns. With another absence looming for Missi, Kevon Looney and Derik Queen should share the center minutes once again.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Out again Wednesday
Missi (illness) won't play Wednesday against the Mavericks.
Missi will miss his second game in a row Wednesday, but the center remains day-to-day. His next chance to play comes Saturday against the Spurs. With Missi out, Derik Queen will have a chance to build on his career night Tuesday against Charlotte.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Listed out for Tuesday
Missi (illness) will not play Tuesday against Charlotte.
Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set, so it will be interesting to see if he's able to return Wednesday against the Mavericks. With Missi sidelined Tuesday, the Pelicans could turn to Kevon Looney, DeAndre Jordan and Derik Queen, but there are a lot of question marks in New Orleans right now after their slow start.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Questionable with illness
Missi (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
The Pelicans will likely see how Missi is feeling closer to Tuesday's tipoff before determining his status. Should he not feel well enough to play, Kevon Looney, DeAndre Jordan and Derik Queen would likely form a timeshare for the center minutes.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Coming off bench Wednesday
Missi isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Denver.
Missi played just 19 minutes in his last outing, which came after a one-game absence due to an ankle injury. The center will come off the bench for Wednesday's tilt, as the recently signed DeAndre Jordan will draw the start in his second appearance with the Pelicans.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Perfect from line in return
Missi (ankle) finished with 11 points (3-4 FG, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes Monday in the Pelicans' 122-90 loss to the Celtics.
After spraining his right ankle in the Pelicans' season-opening loss to the Grizzlies last Wednesday, Missi missed one game before returning to action Monday as a member of the starting five. He had played 19 minutes through the game's first three quarters, and after resting to begin the fourth quarter, Missi ended up staying on the bench the rest of the night after the Celtics' lead swelled to 20 points with just five minutes remaining in the period. Missi was at least reasonably productive during his time on the court, highlighted by a perfect showing from the free-throw line. Assuming he didn't have any complications with his ankle coming out of Monday's contest, Missi should see at least a slight uptick in his minutes Wednesday in Denver.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Gets starting nod Monday
Missi started Monday's game against the Celtics, per the broadcast.
It was initially reported that Saddiq Bey would get the starting nod at center, but Missi ultimately drew the start instead. He recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's season-opening loss to Memphis. However, he sprained his right ankle against the Grizzlies and missed Friday's loss to the Spurs.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Won't start Monday
Missi won't start in Monday's game against Boston, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
The 21-year-old big man will return to game action after missing Friday's loss to the Spurs due to a sprained right ankle, though Saddiq Bey will get the starting nod at center. Missi sustained the ankle injury in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Grizzlies, during which he recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 23 minutes.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Upgraded to available
Missi (ankle) is available for Monday's game against Boston, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
Missi will be returning from a one-game absence Monday. With Zion Williamson (foot) questionable and several frontcourt players injured, Missi could be looking at a big workload against Boston.

Pelicans' Yves Missi: Iffy for Monday
MIssi (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Missi is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle he sustained in Wednesday's season-opening loss to the Grizzlies. However, the big man was a full participant in Sunday's practice, which bodes well for his availability Monday. If he's unable to face Boston, Derik Queen, Karlo Matkovic (back) and DeAndre Jordan are candidates for an uptick in minutes.
