NBC SportsLarry Nance Jr. provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (8-of-13 FGs), 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and five 3-pointers against San Antonio on Thursday.

With Onyeka Okongwu set to miss at least three more games, Nance should be a safe streaming option. Minutes haven't been there when OO and Clint Capela are both healthy, but he played 31 minutes in this one and closed the game out in the fourth quarter and overtime while Capela only played 22 minutes. Nance's floor spacing ability worked well with Trae Young in pick and pop sets, and he had a monster performance off the bench. He is available in 98% of Yahoo leagues, which will likely change quickly.

NBC SportsYves Missi recorded a double-double on Monday with 21 points (10-of-13 FGs), 11 rebounds, one steal and one block against the Hawks.

In a matchup with Clint Capela, Missi wasn't able to get the best of him on the glass, but he was a far better offensive player in this one. He scored as many points as Capela and Onyeka Okongwu combined as he set a new career-high for scoring. This was his sixth straight game scoring in double figures, and it seems like New Orleans has figured out how to get the most out of him. He should continue to put up double-doubles with blocks and sky-high field goal percentage, just like Capela did for a long time.
