Jamal Crawford

Minnesota's Jamal Crawford expected to see minutes at point guard with Jeff Teague (knee) sidelined

Per Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jamal Crawford is expected to see additional minutes at point guard with Jeff Teague out indefinitely with a sprained MCL.

What It Means:

Teague went down on Wednesday night and could be looking at some extended time out of the lineup. While Tyus Jones is expected to start in his place, Jamal Crawford will be a big beneficiary from the Minnesota bench. He's a proven ballhandler, scorer and creator and should keep Jones from being overwhelmed, especially late in games.

To this point in the season, Crawford, 37, has played just 18.5 minutes a game. He's projected for 23.0 minutes and 18.0 FanDuel points in Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He costs $3,700 at shooting guard.
