Zach LaVine on track to start again on Monday for Timberwolves
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Zach LaVine is on track to rejoin the starting lineup on Monday versus the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Tayshaun Prince started on Saturday, so it's now LaVine's turn to run with the first five. Regardless of head coach Sam Mitchell's master plan, LaVine is going to get plenty of run down the stretch and will have steady minutes in the rotation. Given his growing role, LaVine should be rostered in all formats.
LaVine is averaging 30.6 minutes on the floor in his eight games as a starter this season. Tonight against the Celtics, our models currently project him to play 30.0 minutes while putting up 14.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.0 3-pointers on 43.3 percent shooting from the field. He ranks 123rd with a -4.9 nERD for the year.
