Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Logs 16 points from bench
Rotowire
DiVincenzo totaled 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes during Sunday's 116-105 victory over Utah.
DiVincenzo has performed well as the team's sixth man and is versatile enough to provide support at several positions. His production is directly tied to usage and the efficacy of his long-range shot, which has been dialed in recently. Over the past five games, he's converted 51.4 percent of his shot attempts beyond the arc.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Drains six threes off bench
Rotowire
DiVincenzo supplied 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 110-103 loss to the Bucks.
The six made three-pointers, representing his best showing from beyond the arc since March 2, when DiVincenzo went 8-for-13 on three-point attempts against the Suns. That was also the last time the 28-year-old guard topped 20 points. Still, he's been a reliable asset from long distance- over 19 appearances (two starts) since his late February return from a toe injury, he's drained multiple threes 17 times while averaging 13.2 points, 3.8 boards, 3.7 assists, 3.3 treys and 1.2 steals in 24.9 minutes a contest.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Solid display off bench Saturday
Rotowire
DiVincenzo ended Saturday's 114-109 victory over the 76ers with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes.
Another game, another contest in which DiVincenzo puts up solid numbers coming off the bench. He's failed to score in double digits in only three of his 16 appearances since the beginning of March, establishing himself as a reliable scoring weapon in the second unit. Even though that role off the bench limits DiVincenzo's fantasy upside, he's still averaging a solid 12.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game over that 16-game stretch.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Draws one-game ban
Rotowire
The NBA announced Tuesday that DiVicenzo has been issued a one-game suspension for his role in an on-court altercation that occurred in the second quarter of Sunday's 123-104 win over the Pistons.
DiVincenzo was one of five players (two Timberwolves, three Pistons) ejected after the incident, and all five involved will serve suspensions. Along with DiVincenzo, Naz Reid will be suspended for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, but both should be back in action Thursday at Brooklyn. DiVincenzo's absence Tuesday could open up a spot in the rotation for Rob Dillingham while perhaps forcing the Timberwolves to rely more heavily on Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker out of the backcourt.

Rotowire
DiVincenzo accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 loss to New Orleans.
DiVincenzo finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his first double-double since Jan. 11, but even if he's not filling the stat sheet, he's doing an excellent job of scoring the rock. This was DiVincenzo's 11th consecutive game in double digits, a span in which he's averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
DiVincenzo registered 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 132-130 overtime loss to the Pacers.
With Mike Conley (rest) back in action, DiVincenzo operated off the bench, but he has scored in double digits in every game since the beginning of March despite starting just two times over that stretch. DiVincenzo is averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game over nine March appearances.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
DiVincenzo will start Sunday's game against the Jazz.
DiVincenzo will enter the starting five because Mike Conley (rest) is out of the lineup. In his last start, DiVincenzo saw a very similar role to the one he normally fills off the bench, so his fantasy outlook doesn't figure to be impacted all that much.

DiVincenzo has played well in his five games since returning from a 19-game injury absence, reaching double figures in four of those five contests while connecting on three or more threes in every game over that same span.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Strong showing from second unit
Rotowire
DiVincenzo posted 24 points (8-14 FG, 8-13 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and five steals in 27 minutes of the bench during Sunday's 116-98 victory over Phoenix.
While Minnesota dealt with injuries to bigger names like Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert (back) in February, DiVincenzo's absence from the second unit was also keenly felt. The 24 points were his best showing in three games since making his return from a toe injury, while the eight made three-pointers and the five steals were both season highs. Since getting back into the lineup, DiVincenzo's gone 15-for-29 (51.7 percent) from beyond the arc.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Available to face Utah
Rotowire
DiVincenzo (toe) is available for Friday's game against the Jazz.
DiVincenzo was initially listed as questionable due to the same toe injury that kept him sidelined for 19 games in a row between January and February, but he'll suit up for this matchup. He returned to the hardwood during Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers, recording nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes.
DiVincenzo (toe) is questionable for Friday's game against the Jazz.
DiVincenzo returned from a 19-game absence due to a left great toe sprain during Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers, recording nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes. If the 28-year-old combo guard joins Anthony Edwards (suspension) on the shelf for the second night of the club's back-to-back set, Terrence Shannon and Rob Dillingham are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Efficient line in return
Rotowire
DiVincenzo (toe) tallied nine points (3-6 FG, 3-6 3Pt), six assists, five rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes Thursday in the Timberwolves' 111-102 loss to the Lakers.
After missing the Timberwolves' previous 19 games due to a left great toe sprain, DiVincenzo was cleared to return to action Thursday. He had started in his previous six appearances, but Minnesota opted to ease DiVincenzo back into the fold as a sixth man. DiVincenzo handled a light 11.6 percent usage rate, but he was efficient with his opportunities, and he could see his playing time tick up a bit as the toe injury fades further in the rear-view mirror. However, with Thursday's contest being the front end of a back-to-back set, it wouldn't be surprising if DiVincenzo ended up resting Friday in Utah.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Available off bench Thursday
Rotowire
DiVincenzo (toe) is available and coming off the bench Thursday night against the Lakers, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.
DiVincenzo was a true game-time decision leading up to tipoff and ultimately received the green light to suit up. He'll be deployed off the bench in his first game back since Jan. 15 after missing time with a sprained toe. It wouldn't be a surprise to see DiVincenzo on a minutes limit, though the team neglected to comment on whether he'll be on any kind of restriction.
