Fantasy Impact

Matkovic drew the start for New Orleans with CJ McCollum sidelined. He is on the streaming radar in deeper leagues when in the starting lineup.

Karlo Matkovic (illness) is active for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Fantasy Impact

The Pelicans will have Matkovic on Saturday, despite his status initially being up in the air due to an illness. He is set to see a lot of work against the Kings, but it remains to be seen whether or not that will translate into much fantasy success for the 23-year old.

Karlo Matkovic (illness) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Matkovic is at risk of missing Saturday's game due to an illness that he recently came down with. He's questionable to play right now, and it remains to be seen what the team will decide to do with him prior to game time. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Javonte Green will both see more work if Matkovic is unavailable to play.

Karlo Matkovic tallied 10 points (3-of-6 FG, 3-of-3 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks, and one three-pointer in 29 minutes during Wednesday’s loss to Denver.

Fantasy Impact

Getting the starting nod for the first time in his NBA career, Matkovic delivered an all-around performance that showcased his potential in an expanded role. His frontcourt pairing with fellow rookie Yves Missi (12 points, six rebounds) will be something to monitor, especially in the aftermath of New Orleans’ trade sending Brandon Ingram to Toronto. If head coach Willie Green keeps this lineup intact, Matkovic could see enough minutes to offer deep-league fantasy value down the stretch. Managers in dynasty or deeper formats should keep an eye on his development.

Karlo Matkovic (back) is active for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Matkovic will be available to play for the Pelicans on Tuesday. He has been battling a back injury recently, but he has recovered from it well enough to suit up against Minnesota. His return won't have any notable impacts for fantasy purposes.
