Nicolo Melli went for nine points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a steal across 21 minutes in the Pelicans' 124-121 win over the Suns on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
The 28-year-old Italian forward put up a respectable stat line in Thursday's win, highlighted by a pair of triples and a swipe. Seeing his first taste of NBA action this year, Melli has been a quality producer off the bench, particularly as of late. In his last four games, Mellis has gone for 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.8 triples and 1.8 steals across 25.8 minutes per tilt. With Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram back in the lineup, Melli's recent hot streak is likely to cool off, but if you need a three-point streamer, you could do worse in deep leagues. On the season, he's averaging 1.2 triples at 38.1 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
