Dario Saric scores 19 with 8 boards, 4 treys for Minnesota in start
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Dario Saric scored 19 points (7-of-11 field goals, 1-of-1 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 4 3-pointers, and 1 turnover in 33.5 minutes of a 130-120 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.
It was Saric's second start in a Timberwolves uniform and first since December 15. He's scored at least 17 points in three of the last four games after failing to hit double-digits in the preceding eight contests. While Saric is trending up, it's coming at the expense of Taj Gibson, who logged 21.2 minutes in his first game with the second unit. The Timberwolves host the Houston Rockets on Wednesday in their last game before the All-Star break.
Saric scored a season-high 36.6 FanDuel points in the victory. He's averaging 28.9 FanDuel points over the last four games, compared to 20.0 FanDuel points per game overall (42 games).
