Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Scores 14 points in return

Nowell (knee) closed Monday's 140-134 win over New York with 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four assists, three steals, one rebound and one block across 20 minutes.

Nowell returned from a 10-game absence with a bang, flourishing as a go-to option on the second unit while also chipping in useful contributions in the assists and steals category. Anthony Edwards (ankle) was sidelined Monday and may not be ready to play in the Timberwolves' next game Wednesday against the Hawks, so Nowell all of a sudden becomes a streaming consideration for anyone in need of a scoring boost. He was one of only four Timberwolves players to fire up double-digit shot attempts Monday.
