Kelly Olynyk DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Kelly Olynyk (finger) will be active on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. The versatile veteran is dealing with a sprained finger, but the team has upgraded Olynyk's status from questionable to available. Since acquiring him from the Toronto Raptors, New Orleans has regularly used Olynyk as a starter. The 33-year-old is averaging 10.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists with his new squad.

New Orleans Pelicans center/forward Kelly Olynyk (finger) is dealing with a sprained finger and has been tagged as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Yves Missi (ankle) and Zion Williamson (personal) are also considered questionable for this contest, so the Pelicans could be very thin in the frontcourt if everyone is ruled out. If Olynyk can't play, Missi would take over the starting spot if he's cleared. On the other hand, Karlo Matkovic and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl would get a big bump in opportunities. Matkovic has received the most time on the court though and registered a double-double in their last game.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Kelly Olynyk (personal) will not play in Thursday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Olynyk missed Tuesday's clash against the Los Angeles Clippers for rest purposes and has now been ruled out for personal reasons. Bruce Brown stepped into the starting unit in Olynyk's absence on Tuesday, producing 12 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 30 minutes. Karlo Matkovic and Mo Bamba filled the frontcourt minutes off the bench, with the latter making his team debut. Though he went scoreless, Bamba collected seven rebounds. Matkovic was far more active offensively, finishing with 15 points, four rebounds, and two blocks.

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Kelly Olynyk (rest) will not suit up for Tuesday's tilt against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran will be rested after he logged a season-high 31 minutes in Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. Olynyk has played well as a starter lately, averaging 11.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in March. His absence opens up playing time for Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and Karlo Markovic. The latter is coming off one of his best performances of the season, as Markovic bagged a 13-point, 11-rebound double-double against the Grizzlies.

New Orleans Pelicans center Kelly Olynyk will not make his debut with the Pelicans on Thursday when the team takes on the Sacramento Kings for the second day in a row. Olynyk averaged 15.6 minutes per game off the bench in Toronto before being traded to New Orleans as part of the deal that sent Brandon Ingram to the Raptors. Olynyk's role with his new team is still uncertain, but while he's out Thursday along with Zion Williamson (conditioning), there will be plenty of minutes and usage available for Yves Missi, Karlo Matkovic, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and Javonte Green.
