Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng may not remain a fantasy commodity for much longer with All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns likely to return sooner rather than later, but Dieng again proved Wednesday that he has legitimate fantasy upside when given the chance to log consistent starters minutes.
