LaVine tallied 19 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes in Friday's 101-91 victory over the Kings.
LaVine looks like Minnesota's most improved player in terms of consistency, as the second-year pro has looked outstanding so far this season regardless of role and playing time allotment. He received a start in place of the ailing Ricky Rubio (ankle) Friday and once again contributed across the stat sheet, including contributing a season-high eight boards. Even when Rubio has been active, LaVine has typically received quality minutes in the 20s, particularly in recent games, making him a worthwile waiver-wire pickup in all formats.
