Nemanja Bjelica grabs 12 boards in Wolves' Thursday loss

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Nemanja Bjelica scored 8 points on 4-for-5 shooting Thursday, to go with 12 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal in a 108-99 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

What It Means:

The 12 rebounds were a season-high mark for the big man, and he was once again very efficient in big minutes. His scoring will be hit or miss for the Wolves, but Bjelica still provides the Wolves a solid stopgap on the wing while Jimmy Butler is out.

Our models project Bjelica for 27.3 FanDuel points on Friday at a cost of $5,300.
