Ayo Dosunmu News, Rumors, Updates - Minnesota Timberwolves | FOX Sports

Emphatic performance in loss Dosunmu amassed 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and five steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 119-106 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Dosunmu had the best game of his career Monday, delivering a double-double while adding seven defensive counters. While this is obviously not sustainable, he is locked in for a substantial role for the foreseeable future. As long as he is getting more than 30 minutes per night, fantasy managers should absolutely grab him in all standard formats.

Nearly perfect from field Dosunmu notched 21 points (9-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds and 10 assists in 40 minutes during Saturday's 114-112 loss to Boston.

Impact Dosunmu jumped to the starting lineup with Zach LaVine (knee) sidelined and thrived, missing just one shot from the field en route to his highest scoring output of the campaign. The former Illinois standout should remain a starter as long as LaVine is out, so this means he is expected to have an uptick in both minutes and performance at least on a short-term scenario.

Starting vs. Celtics Dosunmu will start Saturday's game against the Celtics.

Impact The rookie gets the nod with the Bulls severely shorthanded in the backcourt. In his two previous starts, he averaged 8.0 points, 5.5 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 38.0 minutes.

Plays 32 minutes Friday Dosunmu ended Friday's 138-96 loss to the Warriors with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and two rebounds in 32 minutes.

Impact Dosunmu saw an uptick in playing time after Zach LaVine (knee) exited Friday's game, but he had a limited impact as the Bulls' offense struggled to keep up with the Warriors. In spite of his lackluster performance Friday, the 21-year-old could take on a starting role Saturday against Boston since the Bulls are shorthanded in the backcourt.
