Trey Lyles finished Friday’s win over the Pelicans with five points (2-of-7 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists, three steals and one blocked shot.

According to Cleaning the Glass, Lyles began Friday playing 82 percent of his minutes at power forward. That changed against the Pelicans, as Joan Beringer exited after suffering a broken nose in the second quarter. In the second half, Lyles logged 18 minutes, seven more than starting center Rudy Gobert (eight points, 11 rebounds and one block), and recorded five points, eight rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block. A face-up four, Lyles missed all four of his three-point attempts. However, his role may expand if the need for a custom facemask sidelines Beringer for a few games.
