Matković missed the season opener but could return to the lineup to take on San Antonio. Yves Missi (ankle) is questionable as well, so the status of both players will determine who starts at center, with Derik Queen as the other option.

Matkovic will join Kevon Looney (knee) on the sidelines, which means Yves Missi and Zion Williamson should see a healthy dose of minutes in New Orleans’ frontcourt. Rookie Derik Queen (wrist) is available, and he could see additional opportunities in this one.

With Kevon Looney (knee) already out, the Pelicans will likely be without two centers for Wednesday’s opener. Matković is doubtful due to lower back spasms, leaving New Orleans light on options beyond Yves Missi. Derik Queen (wrist) is off the injury report, so he can play rotation minutes in his first action after missing the entire preseason. There may also be moments when the Pelicans slide Zion Williamson to the five as part of a smaller lineup.

Matkovic started on Sunday, but he only logged 16 minutes. With Yves Missi back, Matkovic returned to a reserve role, but he ended up having more success on Monday. He matched his career-high for points and nearly recorded a double-double while still providing multiple swats and triples. The 23-year-old has shown some upside in recent weeks, and he should continue to play a significant role for the remainder of the season, with some spot starts sprinkled in.

The Pelicans have had to get a little creative with Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson, and Yves Missi out. Matkovic is the newest addition to the starting lineup and is nearly averaging a double-double in the five starts he’s made for the Pelicans this season.

With both Yves Missi (ankle) and Kelly Olynyk (personal) sidelined against Orlando, Matkovic returned to the staring lineup. In what was a disappointing game for the Pelicans as a team, Matkovic was no exception. He had been productive in his previous starts, but the only redeeming quality of his 26 minutes on Thursday were the two swats. However, if both Missi and Olynyk remain out in San Antonio on Saturday, Matkovic should be in line for another start.

With both Yves Missi and Kelly Olynyk sidelined, Matkovic will get the starting nod for the fourth time this season. He averaged 11.7 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game during his previous starts and is worth streaming against Orlando.

Matkovic recorded a complete stat line and his second career double-double on Sunday. While the rookie forward/center may not be starting in New Orleans, he’s shown the ability to provide value on nights when the Pelicans are without Zion Williamson. Rostered in eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, Matkovic has provided 15th-round value in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. That certainly doesn’t scream “must-add,” but the rookie is worth a look in extremely deep leagues.

The Bosnian big man has averaged 11.7 points, 9.3 rebounds 1.7 blocks and 1.7 triples in those contests.

With Kelly Olynyk sidelined for the first night of this back-to-back, Matkovic will return to the starting lineup. Matkovic has been productive in his two starts this season and should be a solid source of rebounds and blocks in an increased role.
