Nicolo Melli scored 20 points and knocked down a career-high six triples in a win over the Warriors on Sunday.

Melli tied his career-high in scoring and shot 7-of-8 from the field. He added five rebounds, one assist and one block to the box score. He can be used as a deep-league shooting specialist if you are short on triples.

Kristaps Porzingis
PF-C, Dallas Mavericks

Kristaps Porzingis' 36-point effort was not enough for the Mavs on Tuesday, as Damian Lillard dropped 61 points and led the Blazers' to a 134-131 win.

Porzingis recorded his second-highest point total in the bubble so far, finishing 12-for-17 (7-for-9 3PT) on field goals for the 36 points. He only had six rebounds, two assists and two blocks to complement the scoring, though, and the Blazers walked away with the victory. The defensive side of the ball seems to be the Mavs' biggest sticking point, as they have no trouble scoring the ball but have come up short in some high-scoring contests in Orlando. Porzingis, for his part, has largely been his usual, productive self alongside Luka Dončić.

Tim Hardaway Jr.
SF, Dallas Mavericks

Tim Hardaway Jr. went 9-for-9 from the FT stripe in Tuesday's loss to the Blazers, finishing with 24 points (6-for-11 FG, 3-for-8 3PT), four rebounds and three assists.

Hardaway started and was on the floor for 37 minutes on Tuesday. The Mavs were unable to overcome Damian Lillard's 61-point effort however, despite solid play from all their starters. As long as he's receiving decent minutes, like he is with the Mavs, Hardaway will score points. He offers little else on the stat sheet but his ability to score can push him into fantasy relevance from time to time. He seems to pop up every season at one point or another.

Dorian Finney-Smith
SF, Dallas Mavericks

Dorian Finney-Smith started and knocked down three triples on Tuesday vs. the Blazers, going for 15 points (6-of-8 FG, 3-of-5 3PT), four rebounds and one assist in the victory.

Finney-Smith, who say out on Monday against the Jazz, was very effective once again for the Mavs in 30 minutes. After a career night on Friday evening, he was able to follow up with a solid effort. The Mavs are streaking — despite the shootout loss to the Damian Dillard-Led Blazers squad — and Finney-Smith is rounding into quite bench piece. He has fantasy potential with Luka Dončić in the fold and running the offense in Dallas.

Luka Doncic
PG-SF, Dallas Mavericks

Luka Dončić (right ankle management) nearly notched another triple-double on Tuesday, going for 25 points (8-for-19 FG, 2-for-8 3PT, 7-for-9 FT), 10 dimes and seven rebounds in the 134-131 loss to the Blazers.

Dončić was dynamite once again. The Blazers really needed the victory since the Suns had beaten the Sixers earlier in the day, and Damian Lillard was on a mission to make that happen. If anything, this will be used as a learning experience for the young superstar. This locks the Mavs into the seventh seed in the West but there was not much Dončić or anyone on the Mavs could do. Lillard is on another planet right now.

Nemanja Bjelica
PF, Sacramento Kings

Nemanja Bjelica was able to stuff the stat sheet on Tuesday, posting a well-rounded line of 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting with five rebounds, two assists, two 3-pointers, two steals and one block.

Bjelica sometimes gets lost in the shuffle in the heat of the action, but on the flip side, he is also capable of wowing fantasy owners thanks to lines like the one he posted tonight. He's a solid mid-round value play for the remainder of the season.
