Gorgui Dieng scores 6 as Timberwolves best Lakers

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward/center Gorgui Dieng scored six points and grabbed five rebounds in Thursday's 119-111 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Dieng played 15.8 minutes off the Minnesota bench. He went 3-for-7 from three and notched a steal and a block on the defensive end of the floor. It was a nice bounce-back game after going scoreless with three turnovers against the Houston Rockets.

At $3,500, Dieng's 18 FanDuel points were good enough to exceed 5x value while also surpassing his projection of 15.7 FD points. He's averaging 16 FD points and 17.5 minutes through 58 games this season.
