5 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves small/power forward Jake Layman went for a season-high 21 points during Saturday’s defeat to the Houston Rockets, joining the starting five in the absence of both Andrew Wiggins (personal) and Josh Okogie (knee). Layman, who entered the night averaging 26.6 minutes per contest off the bench in his first season with Minnesota, took advantage of the additional playing time and shot 9-for-14 from the floor, including knocking down three triples. He also added five rebounds and two assists to fill out his stat line. Should neither Wiggins nor Okogie be available Monday versus the Jazz, Layman would figure to retain his role among the starting five, although it’s worth checking on before deploying him in DFS lineups.--Jesse Borek
