Yves Missi 2026-27 Season Outlook: Reserve Rim Protection
Missi enters his third NBA campaign operating as the primary backup center behind starter Derik Queen in New Orleans. Following a productive late-summer run with Cameroon where he flashed potent interior production, the 22-year-old big man holds a clear second-unit role anchored by energy and defense.
Our models project Missi for 20.1 fantasy points and 22.6 minutes per game across 72 projected appearances. While his scoring remains modest at 7.0 points on 56.8% shooting from the floor, he offers reliable low-end category utility by contributing 6.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per night.
Currently rostered in about 12% of leagues, Missi is best viewed as a streaming target or deep-league specialist for managers chasing swats. His usage is capped while backing up Queen, but any frontcourt absence would immediately elevate his per-minute rebounding and rim-protecting value.

De'Anthony Melton Season Outlook — Defensive Depth in Warriors Backcourt
Melton signed with the Warriors this offseason, entering his age-28 campaign as an established two-way guard. While slotted behind starter Brandin Podziemski on the depth chart, Melton provides dependable rotational depth in the backcourt, especially with Moses Moody sidelined to open the regular season.
Our models project Melton to average 21.2 fantasy points across 23.1 minutes per game over 70 projected appearances. Known for his defensive disruptiveness, he is forecasted to deliver 1.5 steals and 11.6 points per game, anchoring his value in category formats.
Rostered in roughly 10% of fantasy leagues, Melton enters the season primarily as a deep-league reserve and specialty streamer. While a crowded bench role caps his nightly ceiling, his elite per-minute steal rate makes him an appealing waiver wire target whenever Golden State's guard rotation thins out.
