Patty Mills: Chips in 19 points in win
Patty 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.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 NBA 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 may be able to show NBA clubs why he deserves a roster spot, and Australia's success in the Olympic Games could be a considerable factor.

Heat's Patty Mills: Pops for nine points in loss
Patty Mills closed Monday's 102-88 loss to Boston in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with nine points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 22 minutes.Mills played a few extra minutes in the loss as the Miami 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.

Heat's Patty Mills: Misses seven threes vs. Cavs
Patty 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.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.

Heat's Patty Mills: Starting Wednesday
Patty Mills will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.Mills will move into the starting lineup in Duncan Robinson's (back) absence and should be good for some points and triples in the starting role. However, he typically doesn't bring much else to the stat sheet. He's just a low-end option in deep leagues.

Heat's Patty Mills: Scores 13 points in limited minutes
Patty Mills supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and two rebounds across 16 minutes during Friday's 107-100 loss to the Thunder.Mills doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside due to his minimal role off the bench, but he made his presence felt Friday, missing just two shots from the field and registering double-digit points despite logging just 16 minutes. 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.

Heat's Patty Mills: Signing with Miami
Patty Mills agreed to a contract with Miami on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.The Miami Heat have added more experience to their backcourt in recent days with the additions of Delon Wright and Mills through the buyout market, giving the team some added insurance while Tyler Herro (knee) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) are sidelined. Even while Herro and Richardson are sidelined, Mills may not have a regular spot in the rotation and likely profiles as third-string depth, given his defensive limitations. Before being cut by the Hawks, Mills had appeared in 19 games this season and averaged 2.7 points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 10.6 minutes.

Patty Mills: Heads to buyout market
The Hawks will waive Patty Mills on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.Mills has appeared in just 19 of the Hawks' 58 games this season, but he's been a productive perimeter threat despite his inconsistent playing time. He's knocked down 13 of his 34 three-point attempts on the season, good for a 37.3 percent rate. As he heads to the open market, the 35-year-old could have some appeal for a contending club in search of adding some shooting to its bench, but Mills is unlikely to surface as a regular rotation player no matter where he lands.
