Dillingham contributed five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to Memphis.

EDGE Analysis

After a five-game stretch of playing no more than nine minutes per contest, Dillingham has played at least 11 in each of his last three games, averaging 5.3 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.3 steals in that span. While this may be out of necessity, as Mike Conley (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (foot) have been sidelined, prompting the team to start Bones Hyland at point guard, Dillingham is getting opportunities to make a case for a spot in the rotation.

Dillingham recorded zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds and two assists over seven minutes during Tuesday's 149-142 overtime victory over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham has been a non-factor this season, failing to have any sort of tangible impact on either end of the floor. He failed to score for the third time in the past five games, playing limited minutes off the bench. In 19 appearances, he has averaged just 3.9 points and 1.9 assists in 10.3 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 350 in standard leagues.

Dillingham produced eight points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 13 minutes during Monday's 120-96 victory over the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham certainly wasn't shy with 12 shot attempts in 13 minutes. He continues to be used sparingly by Minnesota and seems to be comfortably behind Donte DiVincenzo and Mike Conley. For now, he's only worth monitoring in deeper fantasy formats.

Dillingham (face) will be wearing a face mask in Monday's game against the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham will not miss any time after sustaining a nose injury against the Lakers on Oct. 29, but he will wear a mask as a precaution. In four appearances this season, he is averaging 4.0 points, 2.8 assists, 0.3 rebounds and 1.0 steals.

Dillingham logged eight points (4-8 FG), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Making his third appearance of the campaign, Dillingham had his best game by a mile with multiple season-high marks. He was buried on the depth chart to open the season, but now it seems like he's pulling ahead of Bones Hyland. With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) sidelined, Dillingham certainly has a path to earn a larger role.

Dillingham (nose) is good to go for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Sunday's game due to a nasal fracture, Dillingham has the green light to return. With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) out for a couple of weeks, Dillingham will have a chance to carve out a role in the rotation, though it's not guaranteed.

Dillingham (nose) is out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham will miss Sunday's game due to a nasal fracture. He has played just one minute across two games to start the season, so his absence won't impact the rotation.

Dillingham (nose) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to a nasal fracture. The second-year point guard has logged just one minute over the team's first two games, so he isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time even if he's upgraded to available.

Dillingham (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Timberwolves' 118-114 season-opening win over the Trail Blazers. "[Bones Hyland] was someone I felt could handle [the ball] out there and could stand up to some of the [Blazers'] drives," Finch told Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press after the game, regarding his decision to use Hyland over Dillingham.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham entered the season seemingly on the cusp of holding down a backup role at point guard, but his lack of playing time Wednesday doesn't bode well for his outlook. Minnesota ended up making a change at starting point guard, but it was Donte DiVincenzo who received the starting nod over Mike Conley. Minnesota ended up using three point guards on the night, with all of DiVincenzo (20 minutes), Conley (13) and Hyland (eight) receiving playing time over Dillingham.

Dillingham will come off the bench Wednesday against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham started in the Timberwolves' preseason finale, but with everyone in Minnesota available for Opening Night, Dillingham will return to the bench. It'll be tough for him to earn meaningful minutes while Mike Conley and Donte DiVincenzo are healthy.
