Donte DiVincenzo - Poor outing in lossDiVincenzo racked up two points (1-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to Portland.

ImpactDiVincenzo has now tallied just five total points over his last two outings. The 27-year-old guard has had a poor start to the season since being traded to Minnesota, averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.5 steals in 26.3 minutes across 12 appearances. Alarmingly, DiVincenzo is shooting just 33.9 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three.

Jerami Grant - Struggles in victoryGrant registered eight points (3-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 win over Minnesota.

ImpactGrant failed to score double-digit points for the first time since Oct. 30 during Wednesday's win. The 30-year-old forward has struggled with his efficiency this season, shooting just 38.5 percent from the field. After shooting 40.2 percent from three last season, Grant is converting just 34.4 percent of his 6.9 three-point attempts per contest in 2024-25.

Dalano Banton - Another solid outingBanton registered 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 victory over Minnesota.

ImpactBanton has now posted double-digit points in seven of his last eight appearances. The 25-year-old guard has also recorded at least one steal and one block in four of those games, including Wednesday's win over Minnesota.

Anthony Edwards - Posts 24 points in defeatEdwards logged 24 points (10-25 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to the Trail Blazers.

ImpactEdwards missed all nine of his three-point attempts as the Trail Blazers completed a two-game sweep of the Timberwolves in decisive fashion. His move to point guard amid Mike Conley's (rest) absence didn't have much effect on his stat line, although he recorded a season-high four steals in the loss.

Rudy Gobert - Struggles against promising rookieGobert posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 FT) and 10 rebounds over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to Portland.

ImpactGobert had his hands full against Donovan Clingan, who effectively ruled the day under the basket. the synergy between Gobert and Julius Randle continues to improve, but neither player could contend with Clingan's size. A few appearances at the charity stripe helped to pad Gobert's totals, but it was an disappointing evening overall.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Slides into starting role in lossAlexander-Walker closed with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to the Trail Blaz...

ImpactThe Timberwolves adjusted their lineup to account for Mike Conley's (rest) absence, opting for a combo of Alexander-Walker and Anthony Edwards in the backcourt. In his first start of the season, Alexander-Walker matched a season high with five rebounds and also posted his second-highest scoring total of the season. Alexander-Walker's minutes have crept up as a reservist over the past two weeks, but he's not producing enough to warrant fantasy consideration, even in the deepest of leagues.

Scoot Henderson - Posts 11 points in starting roleHenderson logged 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 win over the Timberwolves.

ImpactHenderson logged his first start of the season with mixed results. It's difficult to break into the starting five with Anfernee Simons (illness) and Shaedon Sharpe playing at a high level, and Sharpe's 33 -point performance in the win clouds Henderson's outlook even further. Henderson was drafted as the presumptive heir to Damian Lillard's role last season, but first-unit minutes aren't coming his way.
