Dillingham will come off the bench during Tuesday's preseason game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham was a starter for the team's preseason game against the Nuggets on Saturday, when he came three points and one assist shy of a double-double. However, he'll play a different role Tuesday, as his squad is going with Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert in the first unit.

Dillingham logged seven points (3-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), nine assists and two rebounds over 23 minutes during Saturday's 126-116 preseason win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham got the start in Saturday's exhibition contest in the absence of Mike Conley (rest). Dillingham wasn't the most efficient with his shot, but he kept the Timberwolves' offense churning with a game-high nine assists. The 2024 first-rounder averaged 10.5 minutes per game across 49 regular-season contests during his rookie campaign, but he could see a larger role off the bench in 2025-26 as Conley enters his age-38 season.

Dillingham is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham came just three rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double, as he filled up the stat sheet. The Kentucky product has had a solid stint during the Las Vegas Summer League, proving that he may deserve some more playing time when the 2025-26 NBA regular season rolls around.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham had a solid all-around performance Saturday, as he made his presence felt on both ends of the floor. He did a great job getting his teammates involved, finishing with a team-high nine assists while also being a menace defensively with a game-high three steals.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham made just his third playoff appearance for Minnesota, all of which came in blowouts. The rookie guard struggled to receive consistent playing time this year, averaging 4.5 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 10.5 minutes across 49 regular-season appearances. However, Dillingham will likely continue to grow into a bigger role as Mike Conley ages.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-round pick had missed the Timberwolves' entire first-round series against the Lakers as well as Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals series versus the Warriors due to a sprained right ankle, but he was cleared to play ahead of Game 3. With the Timberwolves escaping with narrow wins in each of the final three contests of the series with Golden State, Dillingham didn't crack the rotation, but he was able to make his postseason debut Tuesday at the tail end of a blowout. Dillingham will likely remain outside of head coach Chris Finch's rotation for the duration of Minnesota's playoff run.

Dillingham (ankle) is available for Saturday's Game 3 against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Dillingham will suit up and will be an option in the backcourt for the Timberwolves. However, the rookie isn't expected to play significant minutes even if available, so his fantasy upside will be minimal.

Dillingham (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

In 49 games played during the regular season, the rookie guard averaged 4.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 44.1 percent from the field.
