Robert Covington not making Timberwolves debut Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington will not be available for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Covington and Dario Saric will likely make their Timberwolves debut on Wednesday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. They were acquired for Jimmy Butler over the weekend as part of a five-player deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Josh Okogie will likely draw another start and play big minutes.
Covington averaged 28.3 FanDuel points in 13 games for the 76ers. numberFire's models expect him to record 11.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 1.3 3-pointers per contest over the rest of the year.
