Heading back to bench Missi won't start Saturday versus Cleveland.

Impact Missi started in two of the Pels' previous three contests, most recently amassing an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double in Thursday's win over the Los Angeles Clippers. However, with Dejounte Murray (Achilles) back in the equation, Missi will move to a reserve role versus a Cavs team that is still without Jarrett Allen (knee).

Records double-double in win Missi posted 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 105-99 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Missi got the start Thursday due to the absence of Dejounte Murray (Achilles) in the second leg of this back-to-back set, and he made the most of his minutes with his first double-double since Jan. 25. Missi has been relegated to a secondary role in the rotation, and as a backup center who rarely sees over 25 minutes per game, his fantaasy potential is limited. He's averaging 5.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.3 assists on 18.5 minutes per game in 11 outings (three starts) since the All-Star break.

Impact Missi moved into the starting lineup, with Dejounte Murray ruled out due to illness. Rather than replace Murray, the coaching staff decided to shuffle the rotation, allowing Missi to slide into the starting center role. Rewarding anyone who took a chance on him, Missi turned in a solid performance, including a season-high five blocks. While Missi is a name to monitor, recent games would suggest that he is nothing more than a streaming consideration on most nights.
