Treveon Graham Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Young and Hunter have officially been upgraded from questionable and will start in Sunday's matchup against the New York Knicks, while Fernando and Graham have also been cleared and will be available to play off the bench despite dealing with their respective ailments. In Young's absence, Jeff Teague ended up receiving the starting nod at point guard, but he was rather disappointing for fantasy purposes in just under 26 minutes of action and was eventually benched for the entirety of the fourth quarter in favor of Brandon Goodwin, who put together a stellar performance in 28 minutes off the bench. Assuming Young is subject to a minute restriction, he'll be a tremendous tournament option on tonight's six-game main slate, as he owns a 34.9% usage rate, a 41.8% assist rate, and is averaging 1.44 DraftKings and 1.35 FanDuel points per minute on the season thus far.

Teague, Graham, and Vonleh have all been upgraded from questionable and are available to play in Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Karl-Anthony Towns will miss a 10th straight contest with a sprained left knee despite Minnesota continuing to list him as questionable prior to every game. There haven’t been any reports of a potential minute restriction for Andrew Wiggins, so he should displace either Kelan Martin or Jarrett Culver from the starting lineup and Culver's role will likely drastically decrease after logging at least 32 minutes in each of the Timberwolves previous three games now that Teague, Graham, and Vonleh are available as well. Wiggins unsurprisingly leads Minnesota with a 31.3% usage rate with Towns off the court, but Robert Covington has actually benefitted the most from a production standpoint, as he is averaging 1.04 DraftKings and 1.05 FanFuel points per minute in a 400.8 minutes sample size.

Wiggins, Towns, Teague, Graham, and Vonleh have all officially been downgraded from questionable and won't play in Thursday’s second leg of a back-to-back set against the Golden State Warriors, while Josh Okogie remains probable due to right elbow bursitis. With all of the aforementioned players sidelined for Wednesday’s loss, head coach Ryan Saunders started, Shabazz Napier, Jarrett Culver, Kelan Martin, Robert Covington, and Gorgui Dieng, but Napier, Culver, and Covington were the only three to log north of 30 minutes, indicating just how deep into his bench Saunders is willing to go with so many regulars unavailable to play the previous few games. The sample size with Teague, Wiggins, and Towns all off the court remains relatively limited, but in that time, Napier leads the Timberwolves with a 29.0% usage rate and is averaging 1.02 DraftKings and 0.93 FanDuel points per minute.

Graham and Vonleh will join the Timberwolves' lengthy inactive list and won't play in Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, while Okogie has been cleared to play, as expected, following his original probable designation on the injury report with right elbow bursitis. Following Jeff Teague’s final exit early in the fourth quarter of Monday’s overtime loss, Shabazz Napier and Jarrett Culver absorbed basically all of the ballhandling and playmaking responsibilities as both players went on to record at least 34 minutes of action in the aforementioned contest. The sample size with Teague, Andrew Wiggins, and Karl-Anthony Towns all off the court remains relatively limited, but in that time, Napier leads the Timberwolves with a 31.4% usage rate but is only averaging 0.93 DraftKings and 0.86 FanDuel points per minute, leaving plenty of room for increased fantasy production as the sample size grows.

Wiggins and Graham have officially been downgraded from questionable and won't play in Monday’s matchup against the Brooklyn Nets due to an illness, while Karl-Anthony Towns will miss a seventh consecutive game and doesn’t appear any closer to nearing a return to the court despite consistently being listed as questionable on the Timberwolves injury report. This should allow Gorgui Dieng to draw another start at center after averaging 29.7 minutes per contest while Towns has been sidelined. Graham recently replaced Josh Okogie in the starting lineup, and now that he's unavailable, Okogie becomes a viable fantasy option for all formats since he and Jeff Teague each see a minimum of a +5.3% increase in usage rate and average at least +0.10 more fantasy points per minute with Wiggins and Towns off the court this season.

As expected, Graham and Okogie will be available to play in Wednesday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs despite dealing with their respective ailments, while Shabazz Napier continues to be sidelined with a strained right hamstring, even though the Timberwolves insist on listing him as doubtful prior to every game. Treveon Graham returned to the starting lineup in Monday's win, but he was only allotted 23 minutes and was rather underwhelming for fantasy purposes as can usually be projected. In fact, the only players that eclipsed the 30-minute mark in that contest were Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Jeff Teague, so it appears as if Teague's minute floor won't be affected by head coach Ryan Saunders' decision to move him to the bench as long as he continues closing games on a consistent basis.

As expected, Graham will start in Monday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks after missing one game due to a left forearm contusion, while Okogie will also be available following his initial questionable designation with a sore left knee. In other news, head coach Ryan Saunders has opted to shake up his starting lineup by demoting Jeff Teague to a reserve role and inserting Jarrett Culver alongside Andrew Wiggins, who will essentially serve as the team's de facto point guard, in the backcourt. If Wiggins is going to continue assuming more of the playmaking responsibilities, he'll be an intriguing option in daily fantasy formats moving forward, since he already owns a 29.4% usage rate and is averaging 1.17 DraftKings and 1.15 FanDuel points per minute on the season.

Okogie has officially been downgraded from questionable and won't play in Saturday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns due to a sore left knee, and he'll join Robert Covington and Shabazz Napier on the Timberwolves' inactive list, while Graham is available to play following his brief questionable designation. Head coach Ryan Saunders has opted to shake-up his starting lineup once again by rolling with Jarrett Culver over Graham at small forward, and Vonleh will draw the start at power forward with Covington away from the team for personal reasons. Andrew Wiggins returned from a three-game absence in Wednesday's loss and logged 34 minutes, so he'll presumably be a full-go moving forward and is currently enjoying the most efficient season of his young career.
