Impact Battle was just 4-for-17 from the field over the previous two games leading up to Saturday -- both of which were Gonzaga losses. In a bit of an unexpected move here, Battle came off the bench in favor of the rarely-used Emmanuel Innocenti, who put up eight points and five assists in 23 minutes. A weak opponent in Portland allowed coach Mark Few to send a message and shake up his lineup, so while this usage is likely out of the ordinary for Battle, he remains a risky fantasy option until we know he's out of the doghouse.
