De'Anthony MeltonPG, Memphis GrizzliesDe'Anthony Melton finally had a strong showing in the bubble, grabbing six steals while adding eight points, three assists and a 3-pointer in Sunday's loss.
Melton was just outside the top-150 this season despite playing 19.5 mpg thanks to elite defensive numbers — 1.2 steals and 0.4 blocks per contest. Over his first five bubble games, Melton had produced just four steals and two blocks. This was a much-needed course correction for Melton, but it may end up being too little, too late for fantasy GMs. If you need some swipes, Melton's a fantastic option on the hopes that this is the start of a hot streak.
