Micah Peavy - Falls out of rotation Peavy (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 116-113 loss to the Nets.

Impact The rookie second-round pick had appeared in each of the Pelicans' last 14 contests while averaging 14.9 minutes per contest, but he shot just 35.8 percent from the field and 27.6 percent from three-point range. Perhaps as a direct result of Peavy's lack of efficiency, the Pelicans opted to drop him from the rotation Wednesday while Jordan Hawkins and Bryce McGowens served as the team's backup wings and Karlo Matkovic served as the backup power forward. Peavy's chances of reclaiming minutes won't get any easier moving forward, as the Pelicans will eventually get Herbert Jones (ankle) and Jose Alvarado (oblique) back from injuries.

Yves Missi - Double-double against Brooklyn Missi finished with 12 points (6-13 FG), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 116-113 win over the Nets.

Impact The double-double was his second of the season, with the other coming Nov. 24 against the Bulls. Missi hadn't scored in double digits since then and hadn't pulled down double-digit boards since Nov. 29, and Wednesday marked just the second time in eight January games that the second-year center had played more than 21 minutes. Without a more consistent role in the Pelicans' frontcourt, Missi's only real fantasy appeal comes from his rim protection -- through eight contests this month, he's averaging 6.8 points, 6.4 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.4 blocks in 20.3 minutes.

Impact The fifth-year wing has taken his scoring to another level since the calendar flipped to 2026. Murphy has scored more than 30 points in back-to-back games and four of six in January, averaging 31.7 points, 7.0 boards, 5.3 threes, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 42.1 percent from long distance.
