Donte DiVincenzo finished Wednesday’s Game 5 loss to the Thunder, finishing with six points (2-of-4 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
DiVincenzo’s first season in Minnesota ended with a thud, despite the solid rebound tally. It was expected that his fantasy value would take a hit after being traded to the Timberwolves, as evidenced by the Yahoo! ADP of 106. DiVincenzo finished ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing slightly higher value in the former. His value for next season will depend on what happens with fellow reserves Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naz Reid. While NAW will be an unrestricted free agent, Reid has a player option. If one (or both) leaves, that would raise DiVincenzo’s fantasy ceiling, especially with starting guard Mike Conley not getting any younger.
Donte DiVincenzo finished Monday’s Game 4 loss to the Thunder with 21 points (7-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and five three-pointers.
After disappointing during the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, DiVincenzo seeing two triples go down late in Game 3 may have set the stage for Game 4. He was huge on Monday, with the 21 points being the most he’s scored in a game this postseason. Minnesota’s reserves combined to score 64 points, keeping them in the game despite Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle struggling offensively. In addition to needing their stars to be better in Game 5, Minnesota will need another good night from DiVincenzo to keep their season alive.
Donte DiVincenzo had 24 points (9-of-15 FGs), three rebounds, two assists and six three-pointers against the Bucks on Tuesday.
DiVincenzo’s 24 points were the most he’s scored in a game since March 2 against the Suns, when he also had 24 points. The 28-year-old point guard came off the bench and was feeling it going 6-of-10 from behind the three-point line. DiVincenzo is capable of getting hot, but his fantasy ceiling is almost nonexistent given his role as a bench player who typically plays around 20 minutes per game.
Donte DiVincenzo and Naz Reid have been suspended for one game for their roles in Sunday’s altercation with the Pistons.
DiVincenzo and Reid are among five players to get suspended, along with Detroit’s Ron Holland, Marcus Sasser and Isaiah Stewart. The Wolves face the Nuggets in a primetime matchup on Tuesday, and with DiVincenzo and Reid sidelined, Jaylen Clark could see a significant boost in playing time, with Nickeil Alexander-Walker picking up some extra minutes, too.
