Outlook Joan Beringer
Joan Beringer at Pelicans — Steady Reserve Role Behind Gobert
Joan Beringer enters Friday's matchup healthy and locked in as Minnesota's primary backup center behind Rudy Gobert. Following recent praise from teammate LaMelo Ball after battling Victor Wembanyama, the young big continues to carve out a steady reserve role. Beringer is averaging 7.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks over 17.5 minutes across his last eight games, nudging his fantasy roster rate to 12%.
Our daily projection is currently unpopulated for Beringer tonight against New Orleans, so fantasy managers should monitor updates prior to tip-off in this high-total matchup (230.5 over/under). While his per-minute rebounding remains strong, he is best left benched in standard formats as Minnesota plays the third game of a four-game week.

Outlook Mo Bamba
Mo Bamba at Mavericks - Backup Center Minutes and Rim-Protection Value
Mo Bamba enters Friday healthy, operating as Utah's backup center behind Jaxson Hayes with frontcourt minutes available while Jaren Jackson Jr. remains out. Over his last five games, Bamba has supplied useful rim protection, averaging 8.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks in 17.0 minutes per contest. Still, fantasy sentiment has cooled, with his roster percentage sliding from 29% down to 14%.
Tonight against Dallas, our models project Bamba for 15.5 fantasy points and 5.9 rebounds across 14.6 minutes. While his block upside remains intriguing, his bench role limits standard-league utility. Looking at the weekly slate, tonight represents the third game of a four-game week for Utah before wrapping up Sunday at Minnesota.
