2025 Fantasy Outlook
Matkovic entered last season with some sleeper buzz, but he was unable to capitalize. He struggled to secure a consistent role for much of the year and only began receiving meaningful minutes late in the campaign as injuries depleted the roster. Over his final 32 appearances, he averaged 9.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 22.3 minutes per game. While his per-minute production and defensive potential are encouraging, his path to playing time remains unclear given the team's current frontcourt depth, which includes Yves Missi, Zion Williamson, Herbert Jones and the addition of Kevon Looney. Read Past Outlooks
Signed two-year, $3.11 million contract with the Pelicans in July of 2024. Contract includes $2.3 million team option for 2026-27. 
Limited again in loss
Matkovic supplied five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pistons.
ANALYSIS
Matkovic failed to score more than five points for the sixth time in the past eight games, continuing to play as a third-string center option behind Derik Queen and Yves Missi. Although he appears to have carved out a regular spot in the rotation at this point, it is not substantial enough to warrant any real fantasy attention. In 14 games over the past month, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 3.2 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game.
