Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This marks the third game in a row that Conley has missed due to a toe sprain. His absence should mean that Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker get more run in the rotation. Neither player has been an ideal fantasy option this season. DiVincenzo has finished with 11 points or more over his last three games. He'll be worth a look as a low-end streaming option on Tuesday.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Joe Ingles (calf) has landed on the injury report as questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Houston. The Australian veteran is nursing a calf injury. Ingles' absence shouldn't impact the T-Wolves, as he hasn't been part of the rotation in the last couple of weeks anyway. Even early in the campaign, Ingles was used very sparingly when he averaged 3.7 minutes in seven appearances.
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (toe) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Houston. The veteran has been out for a couple of games with a toe injury, and his return on Tuesday is far from certain. Conley appears to be on his last legs, averaging 7.5 points and 4.8 assists for the campaign, a far cry from his career averages of over 14 points and nearly six assists a night. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker have received starts during Conley's absence, with the former doing a better job in the role. DiVincenzo hit three threes and had 11 points with three rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in Sunday's 107-105 loss to Boston.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (toe) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Celtics. The veteran has struggled this season, averaging a career-low 7.5 points and 31.9% shooting from the field. While production like that won't make him a valuable commodity for fantasy managers, his absence will at least open up minutes for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, although he's coming off a rough six-point effort in the loss to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night.
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Donte DiVincenzo (back) will be in action on Thursday against Toronto. He was initially listed as questionable for the game. Coming off the bench, DiVincenzo has been hit-and-miss in fantasy basketball this season, averaging 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists. He had 15 points with five triples last time out against Phoenix but faces a tough task in keeping the threes coming, as the Raptors have limited opponents to 33.9 percent shooting from behind the arc this season.
