5 years agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng scored 21 points with 15 rebounds, three triples, two steals, and a block in a 105-104 win over the Sacramento Kings. Dieng certainly benefited from two overtime periods, as he played a season-high 41 minutes to get to his massive double-double totals. The 29-year-old has been the clear winner with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) out with injury, averaging 31.2 minutes, 15.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, and 1.4 steals per game on 50.9/43.8/80 percent shooting splits. Dieng is an excellent play in DFS and season-long leagues whenever Towns is unable to go. Owners may be able to fire him up once more for a great matchup Saturday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, for which Towns is currently questionable.--Tim Capurso
