Chips in 19 points in win Mills dropped 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound across 29 minutes in Australia's 92-80 win over Spain in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.

Impact Mills has been one of Australia's top options, and that continues to be the case in his fourth Olympic appearance for the Boomers. The 35-year-old impressed against Spain, and the squad will count on his veteran leadership and scoring ability in two remaining group-phase matchups against Canada and Greece. Mills is coming off a lackluster season, during which he played in a combined 32 regular-season games for Atlanta and Miami, and he averaged 4.0 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 13.0 minutes per game. Mills will be able to show NBA clubs why he deserves a roster spot moving forward, and Australia's success in the Olympic Games could be a considerable factor.

Impact Mills played a few extra minutes in the loss as the Heat fell to the Celtics in Game 4. Although they managed to win away from home in Game 2, there is a decent chance this series will come to an end Wednesday. Beyond this season, it's hard to see Mills having any sustainable fantasy value.

Misses seven threes vs. Cavs Mills tallied 10 points (3-11 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 107-104 win over Cleveland.

Impact Mills has been a three-point specialist during his 15-year tenure in the NBA, but the Australian guard has gone 3-for-31 from beyond the arc over his last six outings. He got the start Wednesday with Duncan Robinson (back) out, but Mills would return to the bench if the former returns. Given Mills' recent struggles from three, head coach Erik Spoelstra could also insert Jaime Jaquez back into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans if Robinson is unable to suit up.

Mills is expected to see minor minutes off the bench going forward, and while this outing was a successful one, he's better suited to remain on the wire in most formats.
