Nicolo Melli

Nicolo Melli has near double-double on Saturday

Fantasy Impact

With Max Kleber sitting out, Melli drew his first start for Dallas. He delivered an excellent game, shooting 100-percent from the field and the charity stripe while hauling in eight rebounds and dishing four assists. He's not really a fantasy option moving forward but he should help Dallas down the stretch as they look to secure a playoff spot.
