Donte

DiVincenzo

A wild fight broke out with 8:36 remaining in the second quarter, resulting in five players and multiple coaches being ejected. Reid finished two points, two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes, while DiVincenzo tallied six points, three rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in 10 minutes. Jaylen Clark’s minutes will likely increase for the remainder of Sunday’s game, and the question for Week 22 is whether Reid or DiVincenzo will be suspended.

TSJ’s role in the rotation has been minimal in March despite a few big games at the end of February. Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jaylen Clark will split a few extra minutes if Shannon Jr. isn’t able to suit up.

Edwards has a laceration on his right thumb, hence his addition to the Timberwolves’ injury report. Losing Ant-Man would leave a massive hole in the starting lineup. Donte DiVincenzo is the player most likely to fill the void if Edwards sits, and this would raise his fantasy ceiling. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will also have added fantasy value in this scenario.

Conley had his best offensive night in over a month, with the 16 points being the most he’s tallied in a game since February 6. The veteran point guard has proven more valuable to the Timberwolves than to fantasy managers on most nights, but he has been a top 100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Conley continues to start ahead of Donte DiVincenzo, he can be a fantasy asset down the stretch. DiVincenzo finished Wednesday’s loss with 11 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in 24 minutes.

Despite returning to the bench on Monday, DiVincenzo still played 32 minutes in the overtime defeat. The Timberwolves guard has hit double figures in 10 straight games, with the 19 points scored against the Pacers tonight his most since March 2. Even on nights when Mike Conley is available, DiVincenzo can provide reliable fantasy value. Conley played 32 minutes, finishing with nine points, three rebounds, five assists, two steals and two three-pointers.

Conley is back after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Jazz for rest reasons. His return means Donte DiVincenzo heads to the bench, but standard league managers who have Donte rostered should hold onto him. He can still provide solid value as the sixth man.

DiVicenzo will start for Mike Conley (rest) on Sunday. DiVincenzo is averaging 15.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game a starter this season.

Conley will get a rest night of the first leg of this back-to-back, which means that he should be available to play against Indiana on Monday. Donte DiVincenzo should start in place of Conley, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker taking on a larger role off the bench.

On a night when eight Timberwolves scored in double figures, DiVincenzo shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc and scored 17 points. He’s reached double figures in six straight games and has been a top-40 player in nine-cat formats since returning from a toe injury. DiVincenzo was a starter before his injury, but Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has decided to bring him off the bench. This approach has boosted Mike Conley’s fantasy value, as he has been an eighth-round player since February 27. Conley finished Sunday’s win with 13 points, five rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in 23 minutes.

The Timberwolves reserves outscored their Heat counterparts by a 37-35 margin, with DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (12 points, two rebounds, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers) leading the way. Since returning from his toe injury, DiVincenzo has provided top-30 value in nine-cat formats. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, the Timberwolves guard will provide reliable fantasy value. He should be rostered in more than 72 percent of Yahoo! leagues, even with the Timberwolves only playing three games during Week 19.
