Alexander-Walker ended Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Pistons with seven points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 28 minutes. The Timberwolves didn't have their best performance Saturday and struggled on offense all game long. However, Alexander-Walker had a decent stat line and recorded at least two tallies in five of the six major categories. The shooting line was subpar after going 2-for-8 from the field, but fantasy managers who decided to start Alexander-Walker, particularly as a streaming option in category-based leagues, should be relatively happy with his contributions in this 14-point defeat.

Balanced output off bench
Alexander-Walker ended Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Pistons with seven points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 28 minutes. The Timberwolves didn't have their best performance Saturday and struggled on offense all game long. However, Alexander-Walker had a decent stat line and recorded at least two tallies in five of the six major categories. The shooting line was subpar after going 2-for-8 from the field, but fantasy managers who decided to start Alexander-Walker, particularly as a streaming option in category-based leagues, should be relatively happy with his contributions in this 14-point defeat.
Good to go against Houston
Alexander-Walker (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Rockets, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Alexander-Walker has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with an illness. The 26-year-old guard is averaging 9.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 21.8 minutes across his previous 10 appearances.
Iffy Friday
Alexander-Walker (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against Houston. Alexander-Walker was a late addition to the injury report and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season Friday. If the 26-year-old is sidelined, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Minott are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.
Muted effort Wednesday
Alexander-Walker finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 win over the Mavericks. Alexander-Walker scored single digits for the second time in the past three games, adding very little in terms of peripheral production. The Timberwolves are struggling to find a guard rotation that works, resulting in an unpredictable timeshare for Alexander-Walker. With that said, he is currently averaging a career-high 23.4 minutes per game, putting up 9.4 points, 0.9 steals and 1.7 three-pointers.
Plays well off bench
Alexander-Walker ended Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Spurs with 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 24 minutes. This was a comfortable win for Minnesota, so Alexander-Walker was afforded a few extra minutes off the bench. His production has been very sporadic this season, making him hard to trust outside of deeper formats. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 2.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes per game.
Season-best effort off bench
Alexander-Walker finished Sunday's 114-106 loss to Golden State with 19 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block over 24 minutes off the bench. The 26-year-old wing set a new season high in points, and his four made threes were his second-best showing from beyond the arc. Alexander-Walker has scored in double digits in five of the last seven games, averaging 12.7 points, 2.9 boards, 2.4 assists and 2.3 threes in 24.0 minutes a contest while shooting 57.9 percent from the floor and 48.5 percent (16-for-33) from long distance.
Double-doubles off bench Friday
Alexander-Walker registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 93-92 win over the Clippers. Alexander-Walker didn't have his best performance from an efficiency perspective. Still, he salvaged his fantasy line by putting solid numbers on the defensive end of the court, including a season-high mark in rebounds. The floor general has found ways to remain productive and has scored in double digits in his last three outings off the bench.
Not starting Sunday
Alexander-Walker won't start Sunday's game against the Celtics. Mike Conley (toe) remains out for a second straight game, but after starting in the veteran's absence Thursday, Alexander-Walker will come off the bench in favor of Donte DiVincenzo on Sunday. As a reserve this season (13 games), Alexander-Walker has averaged 8.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 22.9 minutes per game.
Contributes as starter in loss
Alexander-Walker supplied six points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and two steals in 26 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 loss to the Raptors. Alexander-Walker entered the starting lineup in Thursday's contest due to the absence of Mike Conley (toe). The former struggled from the field but managed to contribute on both ends of the court for Minnesota. Alexander-Walker has started two outings this season, averaging 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per contest.
