Dieng posted 21 points (8-9 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks, and one steal in 41 minutes during the Timberwolves' 114-105 loss to the Raptors on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dieng played a game-high 41 minutes, and excluding last Saturday's three point, three rebound performance versus the Knicks, he has been nothing short of spectacular dating back to the Timberwolves' Jan. 27 match-up with the Thunder. Kevin Garnett (knee) has missed 13 straight games, and Nikola Pekovic (Achilles) is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on Tuesday. As a result, Dieng appears locked in to a fairly substantial load of minutes even once Garnett is able to return to the lineup.
