Shabazz Muhammad

Timberwolves' Shabazz Muhammad likely to see few minutes in move back to bench

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Shabazz Muhammad is projected for just 9.4 minutes on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What It Means:

With Jimmy Butler sitting out with an illness the last two games, Muhammad drew two starts and averaged 29.5 minutes a game in that capacity. But Butler is expected to return without a minutes limit on Friday. For Muhammad, that means that he'll move back to a bench scoring rule and play very few minutes in what should be a close game in Minnesota.

At $3,500, our models project Muhammad for 6.6 FanDuel points, 3.3 below his season average of 9.9 FD points, including his pair of starts.
