GAME LOG

Yves Missi - Remains out Friday Missi (ankle) will not play Friday against the Heat.
Impact Missi is set to miss his second consecutive game due to left ankle soreness. In his absence, Karlo Matkovic should see a heightened role Friday. Missi will have one more opportunity to play this season, as the Pelicans conclude their regular season Monday against the Thunder.

Kelly Olynyk - Out again Friday Olynyk (Achlles) will not play Friday against the Heat.
Impact Olynyk will miss a second straight contest and it's unclear if he'll be able to play in the final game of the season Sunday against the Thunder. Karlo Matkovic (hamstring) and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl could pick up the slack in the meantime.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Bruce Brown - Ruled out Friday Brown (knee) will not play Friday against the Heat.
Impact Brown is set to miss his second consecutive game due to right knee soreness. His absence creates another opportunity for increased playing time for Keion Brooks, Antonio Reeves, Jamal Cain and Lester Quinones, each of whom logged 27 or more minutes Thursday.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Karlo Matkovic - Iffy for Friday Matkovic is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat with left hamstring soreness.
Impact Matkovic logged 30 minutes against the Bucks on Thursday, finishing with 15 points, 10 rebounds and one steal. He could be held out for injury maintenance Friday, however. If Matkovic is unable to go, there would be more minutes available for Kylor Kelley and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Hawkins - Another absence coming Hawkins (back) will not play Friday against the Heat.
Impact Hawkins will be sidelined for a seventh straight game, and there's been no indication if he'll be able to return for the final game of the regular season Sunday against the Thunder.

Antonio Reeves - Plays well in start Reeves ended Thursday's 136-111 loss to the Bucks with 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and three steals across 37 minutes.
Impact Reeves continues to step up for the shorthanded Pelicans, and he's gaining steam as a fantasy streamer. Over his last four games, Reeves has seen 31.7 minutes per night with 16.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.3 three-pointers on 38.6 percent shooting from the field.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jamal Cain - Posts massive line Cain recorded 20 points (6-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 136-111 loss to the Bucks.
Impact Cain erupted for a career-high 20 points in the loss, stepping up for a New Orleans team that was extremely shorthanded. The Pelicans could get some reinforcements back for the second leg of this back-to-back set, but Cain may have earned himself a longer look in the rotation in the final two games of the regular season.

Keion Brooks Jr. - Sets career-high 20 points in loss Brooks chipped in 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and six rebounds across 32 minutes during Thursday's 136-111 loss to Milwaukee.
Impact The 24-year-old drew the start at small forward due to Bruce Brown (knee) being sidelined. Brooks set a career-high mark in points during the loss, and he delivered an efficient performance from the field. The two-way player has logged at least 20 minutes in nine of his last 10 outings, and he'll likely continue to see significant playing time with two regular-season games remaining.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Lester Quinones - Logs career highs in loss Quinones produced 21 points (8-22 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 136-111 loss to Milwaukee.
Impact Quinones recorded a career-high mark in points while playing at least 20 minutes for the third consecutive contest. Additionally, the 24-year-old also set a career high in assists. However, the two-way player struggled with efficiency Thursday, and over his last five outings, he has shot 37.5 percent from the field and 30.4 percent from beyond the arc.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl - Nabs double-double in defeat Robinson-Earl amassed 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Thursday's 136-111 loss to the Bucks.
Impact The 24-year-old received the starting nod for the first time since Jan. 24 due to Kelly Olynyk (Achilles) being sidelined. Robinson-Earl made the most of his opportunity, recording his third double-double on the season while tying the team-high mark in rebounds. The fourth-year forward did struggle from three-point range against Milwaukee, and he has shot 33.3 percent from beyond the arc in his last five appearances.

Karlo Matkovic - Starting sans Missi Matkovic will start in Thursday's game against Milwaukee.
Impact The big man will get the starting nod Thursday due to Yves Missi (ankle) being sidelined. Over his last 10 outings (one start), Matkovic has averaged 11.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 20.2 minutes per game.
