Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Scores 12 in overtime win
Rotowire
Dillingham totaled 12 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 26 minutes in Monday's 131-128 overtime win over the Thunder.
Dillingham hasn't been an offensive focal point for the Timberwolves in his rookie season but was notably productive in Monday's win. The 20-year-old has eclipsed double-digit points eight times and has surpassed 20 minutes a total of seven times this season. The 2024 first-round pick figures to continue in a reserve role for the rest of this season but should remain in high regard moving forward, given his upside and draft pedigree.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Returning to bench Monday
Rotowire
Dillingham is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

The rookie has played double-digit minutes in each of his last nine outings regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, however, so he should continue to see a decent workload in a depleted Timberwolves backcourt that's missing Mike Conley (finger) and Donte DiVincenzo (toe).
