Lakers' Skylar Mays: Joins Lakers on two-way deal
The Los Angeles Lakers signed Skylar Mays to a two-way deal Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Mays, who was waived by Portland on Saturday, has quickly found a new home, joining Dylan Windler as a new addition to the Lakers' roster. The Lakers' point guard struggles have been well-documented this season, with Austin Reaves ultimately taking the reins from D'Angelo Russell, who was benched in mid-December. Mays doesn't have a clear path to playing time and will likely spend most of his time at the G League level, but he does bolster the Lakers' guard depth and could crack the rotation if the struggles continue.

Skylar Mays: Let go by Portland
The Trail Blazers waived Skylar Mays on Saturday.Mays averaged 6.3 points, 3.6 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 17.0 minutes across 21 appearances with Portland in 2023-24. Most of Mays' playing time came earlier in the season while Portland was shorthanded in the backcourt, but his opportunities have become more scarce of late while all of Anfernee Simons, Malcolm Brogdon, Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe have been healthy. The Trail Blazers evidently decided that his roster spot could better be utilized on another player.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Minutes boosted with Simons out
Skylar Mays had zero points (0-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal over 14 minutes during Thursday's 118-105 loss to the Spurs.An absence from Anfernee Simons (illness) resulted in Mays seeing his most minutes since Dec. 14 against the Jazz. However, Mays was off his game, missing all eight shot attempts. In fact, the point guard hasn't made a field goal since Nov. 21. He's only likely to have fantasy relevance again if injuries decimate Portland's backcourt.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Back to bench
Skylar Mays will return to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Suns.Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) is returning from a five-game absence and is back with the starters. Mays played well for Portland in recent games, so it's likely he will maintain a decent role until Scoot Henderson (ankle) gets clearance.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Solid in loss Friday
Skylar Mays ended Friday's 107-95 loss to the Lakers with 15 points (6-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 26 minutes.Mays started again in the absence of Scoot Henderson (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), and he put up his fourth double-digit scoring effort over his past five games. The fourth-year point guard also led the Blazers with eight assists, and he's averaging a shiny 9.0 dimes during that five-game stretch. The returns of Brogdon and Henderson will eventually eat into Mays' opportunities, but as long as he's playing 30-plus minutes per game, he's worth a look in fantasy as an assist specialist capable of sprinkling in modest scoring with non-destructive shooting percentages.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Hands out 10 dimes
Skylar Mays closed with six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 assists, five rebounds and two blocks across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-99 loss to the Jazz.Since Malcolm Brogdon went down with a hamstring injury early in the Portland Trail Blazers' 121-118 loss to the Kings on Nov. 8, Mays has proven to be an elite source of assists. He came off the bench against Sacramento to dish out 11 assists, that dropped 12 and 10 dimes in his first two starts of the season. With Scoot Henderson (ankle) likely out until at least late November and Brogdon at risk of missing additional contests, Mays will be worthy of a roster spot in most leagues while he has a clear path to 30-plus minutes as the Blazers' starting point guard.

Trail Blazers' Skylar Mays: Double-doubles in starting role
Skylar Mays posted 15 points (7-13 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 assists and four rebounds over 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.Making his first start of the season with Scoot Henderson (ankle) set to miss 2-to-3 more weeks and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) also day-to-day, Mays proved to be an excellent fantasy option for managers who streamed him for assists. With Anfernee Simons (thumb) also out indefinitely and Brogdon likely to miss more time given his durability concerns, Mays could continue to produce for managers as Portland opens a four-game week. During six late-season starts in 2022-23 with the Portland Trail Blazers, Mays posted averages of 15.3 points, 8.3 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 31.5 minutes while shooting 50 percent from the field and 92.3 percent from the free-throw line.
