Theis was not with the team for Thursday's loss to the Rockets, resulting in Trey Jemison serving as Yves Missi's backup. That would remain the case if Theis does not play against the Knicks. While there's no need to consider streaming Jemison, Missi remains available in over 60% of Yahoo leagues.
Missi recorded his seventh double-double of the season in this game, which leads all rookies. Missi wasn't able to get a block in this game, but he has been able to consistently make an impact in the typical big man stats for most of the season. He has been a top-100 players over the past two weeks but is somehow still available in 62% of Yahoo leagues. He will continue to be their starting center for the rest of the season, which means that he'll continue to provide double-doubles, blocks and a sky high field goal percentage.
Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Dan Titus discusses why the New Orleans center leads the list of players to pick up and this week's scheduling strategies.
Fantasy basketball waiver wire targets include Gradey Dick, Nick Richards and Yves Missi this week.
