Dieng dropped 14 points (4-7 FG, 6-9 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, two steals, and one block in 41 minutes during the Timberwolves' 117-112 win against the Raptors on Wednesday.
Dieng delivered his fourth straight double-double and sixth in the last seven games. He now has 10 total in 2015-16, and heads into the All-Star break with scintillating averages of 16.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 36 minutes per appearance through the first five games of February. If coach Sam Mitchell keeps feeding Dieng this many minutes, he will likely possess solid value for the remainder of the season. Nevertheless, Nikola Pekovic (foot) and Kevin Garnett (knee) returning to the lineup could potentially eat away at some of Dieng's minutes down the road.
