It hasn't been as polarizing or consistent as last year. Still, I'm noticing the Conley-Gobert PnR returning to the crutch of Minnesota's offense recently, even with Conley having his highest TOV% (12.9) since 2012-13. It puts defenses in binds + promotes healthy ball movement.

Only seven teenagers in Timberwolves history have scored at TD Garden. Rob Dillingham's 14 points give him the third most points in a game by a Wolves teenager in Boston. 1st -- Anthony Edwards, 24p (4/9/21) 2nd -- Kevin Garnett, 17p (12/22/95) 3rd -- Dillingham, 14p (today)

Donte DiVincenzo started 61 of the Knicks' final 62 games last season. He averaged 17.7p in that span on 44.6% FG & 39.7% 3P. Before that, he came off the bench in 20 of 22 games, averaging 9.1p on 42.5% FG & 42.7% 3P. We'll see what the flip to the starters does for him today.

Tremendous see-what-your're-made-of game for Rob Dillingham -- assuming he plays with Mike Conley (toe sprain) out -- today in Boston. Tangoing with Holiday, White, and Pritchard in one of the NBA's most historic venues. I absolutely cannot wait.

Raptors since Saturday (2 games): • 3-point OT loss to Celtics • 11-point win over Pacers • 4th league-wide in ORTG (125.2) • Jakob Poeltl: 32.5p, 13.5r, 78.4% FG • RJ Barrett: 32p, 10a, 9.5r, 45.5% FG A 3-12 team playing with a pep in their step. Wolves-Raptors, tonight.

For those who missed it, Terrence Shannon Jr. had 34 points, 6 assists, and 6 boards this morning in his G-League debut. Looked exactly like his 2024-25 Illinois self. My film dive into TSJ from right after the draft: zonecoverage.com/2024/timberw...

Wolves say Nickeil Alexander-Walker will start in place of Conley tonight. Feels like the right move. Expecting NAW to set a defensive tone right away, which is exactly what the Wolves need, and should trigger a fast start.

No Mike Conley tonight (rest), so the Wolves' streak of 11-straight games with the same starting lineup ends -- they were one of three teams (Knicks and Clippers) to have used only one lineup over the first four weeks of the season. Dilly prove-yourself minutes on the horizon?

Trade deadline is a long way out, but a low-risk, high-reward, defensive-focused big who can gobble boards is certainly a point of interest. I've pushed this for years and won't stop today: JaVale McGee, who's still a FA.

Seems like a real back-up 5 is going to be something to keep an eye on at the trade deadline. After last night’s game, Robert Williams* will be on the wish list. *Permanent “if he’s healthy”asterisk
