Dieng managed 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 37 minutes during the Timberwolves' 124-122 victory over the Celtics on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Dieng continues to flourish with Nikola Pekovic (foot) and Kevin Garnett (knee) injured, and the 6-11, 26-year-old center from Senegal has delivered double-doulbes in eight of the last 10 games. Given the injury history and age of the aforementioned veterans, Dieng seems fairly likely to keep seeing heavy minutes for the remainder of the season even if one or both of those two do get healthy.
