Donte DiVincenzo Questionable For Wednesday
Donte DiVincenzo (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against Orlando. The 27-year-old has averaged 25.2 points in his last six games, mostly due to the absences of Julius Randle (shoulder) and OG Anunoby (elbow). But now DiVincenzo is on the injury report after tweaking his hamstring on Monday night in the loss to Houston, so New York may be even more shorthanded heading toward the All-Star break. Fortunately, the team recently added Bojan Bogdanovic, who will help lessen the blow if DiVincenzo can't play. Additionally, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart will suit up, so they'll likely pick up more of the slack offensively if DiVincenzo is sidelined.

Donte DiVincenzo Upgraded To Available
Donte DiVincenzo (toe) will be active on Friday against the Utah Jazz. He returned from a 19-game absence on Thursday against the Los Angeles Lakers, posting nine points, five rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 23 minutes. Minnesota initially had DiVincenzo listed as questionable on Friday's injury report. DiVincenzo took only six shots -- all from downtown -- in Thursday's game, making half of them, but he should have a bigger say in the offense on Friday night, as Anthony Edwards (suspension) will not be in the lineup.

Donte DiVincenzo Considered Questionable Against Jazz
Donte DiVincenzo (toe) has drawn a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz due to the toe injury that kept him out for over a month. Thursday was his first game back since January 15, so it wouldn't come as a big surprise if the Timberwolves decide to ease him back and let him sit the back part of a back-to-back. If he doesn't suit up, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Terrence Shannon Jr. should see plenty of minutes since Anthony Edwards (suspension) is also out. They both are likely available in a wide range of fantasy leagues, but Shannon has shown a lot of promise, especially after 25 points, five rebounds, and two assists on Thursday.

Donte DiVincenzo May Return To Timberwolves Lineup Thursday
Donte DiVincenzo (toe) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He seems to be nearing his return to the lineup after practicing on Wednesday. DiVincenzo has been sidelined for 19 games due to a toe sprain. Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have taken on expanded roles with DiVincenzo out and will lose fantasy value when he returns. DiVincenzo replaced Conley in the starting lineup in early January, averaging an impressive 17.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.5 steals.
