Another big night off bench Beasley amassed 21 points (7-11 FG, 7-8 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 134-114 win over the Kings.

Impact Beasley has been on a heater of late, scoring 18, 20 and now 21 points, respectively, over his last three contests. In that span, he's a combined 16-of-22 from beyond the arc, though he hasn't added much value in any nonscoring categories. Despite coming off the bench for most of the season, Beasley ranks fifth in the NBA in made three-pointers (162) behind only Stephen Curry, Fred VanVleet, Buddy Hield and Patty Mills.

Sparks bench with 20 points Beasley poured in 20 points (7-15 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and added nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes Sunday in the Timberwolves' 118-105 win over the Pistons.

Impact Following a string of underwhelming performances in late January, Beasley has shown a dramatic turnaround over the past five games and has seemingly supplanted Jaylen Nowell as the Timberwolves' top scoring option off the bench. During that five-game stretch, Beasley is averaging 16.8 points and 3.6 triples while shooting 45.3 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from downtown. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Beasley to provide quality production on the glass like he did Sunday, but he should continue to have utility as a streamer for points and three-pointers.

Drops 18 in Thursday's win Beasley scored 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding two assists, a rebound and a steal in 20 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 128-117 win over the Pistons.

Impact The 25-year-old continues to give Minnesota some outside shooting on the second unit, draining multiple three-pointers and scoring in double digits six times in his last nine games coming off the bench. Beasley's shifting role can make him difficult to rely on in some fantasy formats, but he is averaging double-digit points for the fourth straight season.

Back to bench Tuesday Beasley will come off the bench Tuesday against the Nuggets, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.

Impact Patrick Beverley and Anthony Edwards are starting in the backcourt, while Jaden McDaniels gets the nod at the three. In his past 12 games as a reserve, Beasley averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 22.2 minutes.

Starting Sunday Beasley will start Sunday's game against the Jazz.

Impact The Wolves will go with a very different look Sunday as both D'Angelo Russell (lower leg) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) remain sidelined. Beasley will move into the lineup at shooting guard, while Jordan McLaughlin will get the start at point guard over Jaylen Nowell.

Drops 26 off bench Beasley contributed 26 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds across 28 minutes during Friday's 134-124 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Jaylen Nowell got the start with Patrick Beverley (ankle) and D'Angelo Russell (lower leg) sidelined, but it was Beasley who made the biggest impact in their absence. He added virtually nothing outside of scoring, but Beasley offered a reminder of why he averaged nearly 20 points per game in 37 appearances last season.

Drops 16 off bench against Atlanta Beasley scored 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT) while adding three rebounds and an assist in 31 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Hawks.

Impact It's only the second time in eight games since his shift back to the second unit that Beasley has seen 30 or more minutes of court time, but Minnesota lost two starters during the game, as Patrick Beverley injured his ankle in the first quarter and Anthony Edwards got ejected in the third. If Beverley's injury in particular keeps him sidelined, Beasley could find himself starting again, a move which would be a boost to his fantasy value -- he's averaged 18.8 points, 4.4 threes, 3.4 boards and 2.1 assists in nine starts this season.
