Yves Missi

Two of the Pelicans' starting three frontcourt members won't play against the Jazz. Javonte Green and Daniel Theis will get a chance to step in as spot starters against Utah.

Missi did not play in Friday's win over the Jazz, with Daniel Theis replacing him in the starting lineup. Even if the rookie is available on Monday, his fantasy ceiling will be limited due to New Orleans' need for additional spacing next to Zion Williamson. Therefore, Theis may still be worth a look in extremely deep leagues due to his perimeter shooting ability.

Missi (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Utah.

The Pelicans are without rookie center Yves Missi, who will not play due to an illness. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Theis, who began the season as New Orleans' starting center. He offers minimal streaming value in this spot, especially since there will be times when Williamson plays the five.

Missi will miss his second game of the season, which should open up more minutes for Daniel Theis and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. Theis started on November 22 against Golden State when Missi missed his first game, but the former was largely ineffective across 18 minutes. Robinson-Earl, however, delivered a useful 19/12 line in 23 minutes off the bench.
