Nicolo Melli

PF, New Orleans Pelicans

Nicolo Melli returned to the bench on Monday but made his presence felt, helping the Pelicans beat the Grizzlies 126-116, chiming in with 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting, adding five rebounds, three treys, three assists and two blocks.

Melli might have played more minutes but dealt with a bit of foul trouble in this one. He's worth an add in 16-teamers or deeper as long as he remains in the Pelicans' rotation and is clocking in at over 25 minutes per game.
