BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Three consecutive starts for Patty Mills in the past few days and four consecutive games above 30 minutes of playing time for the Australian? Gotta love that. Mills can't carry a higher value than he's doing right now playing shooting guard next to James Harden (who's manning the point). Only the start of the year saw a better similar (but still worse) version of Mills than the one we're witnessing right now.
Mills has played 32-32-35-34 minutes in the last four games Brooklyn has played through Saturday. He's scored a freakish 21+ points in three of those four and was still good for an 8-2-4-1 line against Golden State in the other one while hitting 2 treys. Those three games were delightful, and this WW target is so mostly here because of that--keep in mind that Mills' production is probably going to go down a bit, but even then the guard should be a perennial WW target and must-roster player in deeper formats.
Patty Mills has hit 4+ treys in three of the last four games, and has scored at least one long-range shot in all but two games he's played this year (17 through Saturday). Expect bouncy shooting percentages from Mills, but count on explosive 55% shooting nights with tons of treys and 10+ FGAs every few games. The turnovers are not overly high and tend to sit between none-and-one more often than not (only 2+ TOs in three of his 17 games).
