Fantasy Analysis
Despite Mayo's poor performance on Monday night, the 24-year-old has been playing very well of late. He has scored in double figures in five of his last six contests and is averaging 15 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.8 steals over that stretch. While many have been clamoring for Mayo to be inserted back into the starting lineup, it appears coach Lionel Hollins is happy with him in his current role. Still, if Mayo can maintain his current production, he can be considered a viable option low-end option moving forward. (Updated 02/07/2012).

Rudy Gay scored 21 points to lead five Memphis players in double figures and the Grizzlies blew out the listless Atlanta Hawks 96-77 Thursday night.
O.J. Mayo went through a tumultuous season in 2010-11 that saw him lose not only his role as a go-to option in the offense, but also his starting job. His scoring dipped from 17.5 points per game to 11.2 points per game, but appeared to get back in the good graces of the franchise during the team's playoff run, scoring 15-plus points in four of the team's last games as he earned himself more playing time. Mayo is fully capable of getting back to the scoring level he enjoyed during his first two NBA seasons if he can get back on the same page with the coaching staff. That will make him a value pick in the later rounds of Fantasy leagues. Available as a reserve option, he might return to being a week-to-week starter under the right conditions. (Updated 8/28/11)
