• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Cleared for Wednesday

  22H ago • By RotoWire

  Missi (shoulder) will play Wednesday versus Cleveland. Missi continues his perfect attendance on the season and is in line to make his 11th consecutive start. The rookie is averaging 5.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.3 blocks in 27.0 minutes across his last three games.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Iffy for Wednesday

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Missi is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to left shoulder soreness. The Pelicans, who are already missing the majority of their regular rotation players for Wednesday, continue to be battered by injuries. Missi was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's a concern for his fantasy managers. If Missi is unable to play, Trey Jemison, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Daniel Theis could all be more involved for the Pelicans.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Pulls down 12 rebounds

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Missi chipped in six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 101-94 victory over the Nuggets. Missi didn't have his best shooting performance Friday, but the inconsistency in the scoring column is somewhat expected for a rookie who was always believed to be a work in progress on the offensive end of the court. He's making his presence felt on the glass, though. This 12-rebound haul was Missi's third straight game with double-digit boards, and he's averaging 7.6 boards per contest since he was moved to the starting lineup Nov. 1.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Records double-double

  7D ago • By RotoWire

  Missi supplied 10 points (5-5 FG), 10 rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 106-88 loss to Oklahoma City. Missi seems to be adjusting quickly to the pace of the NBA game and posted his second straight double-double while also making each of his five shots from the field. There's no question the rookie big man is trending in the right direction, as he's scored in double digits in three of his last four outings. He's also averaging 9.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 76.2 percent from the field in that stretch. Small sample size applies here, but he's definitively showing enough to remain as the Pelicans' starting center once the roster gets healthier.

• Pelicans' Yves Missi: Notches first career double-double

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Missi had 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 107-105 loss to the Nets. Missi had arguably the best showing of his young NBA career following one of his worst Friday against the Magic (zero points, one rebound, one steal and one block in 20 minutes). He paced the Pelicans with 11 boards and has now recorded at least one block in three straight appearances. There's little doubt that the opportunities to develop will continue to be there for Missi, especially while Herbert Jones (shoulder) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) remain sidelined.
