Bounces back in loss Nowell chipped in 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Nowell was held to five points in 20 minutes Monday against the Heat, but he managed to return to double figures Wednesday evening with the help of a decent shooting performance. The Washington product has struggled to consistently produce for the Timberwolves of late, as he's failed to piece together consecutive games in double figures since putting up 13 points Dec. 14 and 13 points Dec. 16.

Cools off Wednesday Nowell registered four points (2-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 104-99 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact After scoring 18 points in his previous game, Nowell struggled to put the ball in the basket against Dallas. The 23-year-old guard failed to convert on any of his three-point attempts and recorded his fifth-fewest points of the season.

Pops for 17 points in loss Nowell finished with 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 133-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact Nowell scored in double digits for the first time in almost a week, turning things around after a tough couple of games. His role has increased since Karl-Anthony Towns went down with a calf injury, allowing Nowell to increase his offensive productivity. He sits just inside the top 150 over the past two weeks, meaning he is at least on the radar in competitive formats, especially for anyone seeking a short-term points boost.

Remains key source of scoring Nowell racked up 21 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Saturday's 135-128 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Nowell had another efficient night shooting the basketball, and he finished with 20-plus points for the third straight contest. It's becoming increasingly clear that he'll continue to see chances off the bench behind Anthony Edwards, as Nowell is averaging 25.8 minutes over his last four matchups after logging 16.5 minutes per contest through his first 19 appearances of the 2022-23 campaign.

Another huge scoring outburst Nowell closed Wednesday's 109-101 win over Memphis with 24 points (9-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 31 minutes.

Impact Nowell had scored 20-plus points just one time through his first 20 contests of the 2022-23 campaign, but he's now poured in 23 and 24 points in back-to-back games. The 23-year-old has also secured five boards and two assists in each matchup, showcasing his value in categories outside of scoring. Nowell has come off the bench in every game this year and is averaging 11.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 22 appearances..

Not starting Wednesday Nowell isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Contrary to the previous note, stating that Nowell would be starting, Wendell Moore will replace Austin Rivers in Wednesday's starting five. Nowell will come off the bench, as he has in all 21 of his appearances this season.

Impressive off bench Monday Nowell racked up 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 142-127 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Nowell reached the 20-minute threshold for the second game in a row and reached the 15-point mark for the second straight contest, and he also tied a season-high mark in scoring while looking extremely efficient. Nowell has scored in double digits in all but one of the games he's played at least 20 minutes off the bench, and he could be in line to produce another solid outing Wednesday against the Grizzlies if he ends up moving to the starting unit as Karl-Anthony Towns was diagnosed with a calf strain Monday night.

Shows up offensively Sunday Nowell ended with 16 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Sunday's 137-114 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Nowell began the season by averaging 16.2 points per game over the first five contests. Since then, he had not scored more than 14 points in any appearance and was averaging 7.1 points per game while making 36.1 percent of his shots in 14 contests before Sunday's strong performance. Even after Sunday's outing, he has made just 29.1 percent of attempts from beyond the arc this year.

Impact Nowell was able to make a solid contribution on offense despite playing just 14 minutes in the contest, knocking down three of four field goal attempts for eight points in the first half before adding another five points in the fourth quarter on 2-of-3 shooting from the field. The guard shot 71.4 percent from the field in the contest, which marked his best shooting performance of the season and he's continuing to provide solid offensive production in limited minutes for the Wolves this season.

Low minute tally in loss Nowell produced 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes during Friday's 115-102 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Nowell played at least 20 minutes in five of his first six games of the season, but he has reached that mark just once across his last three contests. The fact that he has a bench role would limit his upside, but Nowell has scored in double digits in all but two games during the current campaign. He's averaging a career-high 12.4 points per game so far.

Minutes plummet in loss Nowell logged two points (1-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt) across 10 minutes during Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Nowell barely saw the floor in the loss, managing just 10 minutes. The return of Kyle Anderson may have had something to do with the decline, making this a situation to monitor. Given Nowell's impressive form thus far, he is probably a player to hold onto where possible, at least until we get some clarity on just how much time he will be spending on the floor moving forward.

Impact Nowell led the reserves in scoring and rebounding in this one as he tallied his first 20-point game of the young season.

Goes for 13 points off bench Nowell totaled 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 115-108 victory over the Thunder.

Impact Nowell has been a regular presence off the bench for the Timberwolves in each of the last three seasons and that's not going to change here, especially since this is the most stacked roster Minnesota has had since the former Washington standout entered the league. He might be prone to deliver some good performances from time to time, but Nowell shouldn't be counted as a regular fantasy contributor going forward.
