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.

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.
Starting vs. Toronto
Alexander-Walker is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Raptors. Alexander-Walker will get the nod at point guard due to the absence of Mike Conley (toe). This will be his second start of the season. In the previous one, he notched 13 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 32 minutes in a loss to the Trail Blazers on Nov. 13.
Returns to bench Friday
Alexander-Walker is not in the Timberwolves' starting lineup Friday against the Kings. Alexander-Walker will retreat to the bench Friday as Mike Conley returns from a one-game absence due to rest. Alexander-Walker started Wednesday against the Trail Blazers, during which he logged 13 points, five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 32 minutes.
Slides into starting role in loss
Alexander-Walker closed with 13 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-98 loss to the Trail Blazers. The Timberwolves adjusted their lineup to account for Mike Conley's (rest) absence, opting for a combo of Alexander-Walker and Anthony Edwards in the backcourt. In his first start of the season, Alexander-Walker matched a season high with five rebounds and also posted his second-highest scoring total of the season. Alexander-Walker's minutes have crept up as a reservist over the past two weeks, but he's not producing enough to warrant fantasy consideration, even in the deepest of leagues.
Starting sans Conley
Alexander-Walker will start Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. Mike Conley is resting Wednesday, opening a spot in the first unit for Alexander-Walker. Though it'll be Alexander-Walker's first start of the season, he's been an important piece for the Timberwolves. He's averaging 8.4 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 23.5 minutes per game.
Dishes out five dimes in win
Alexander-Walker provided eight points (2-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 24 minutes during Friday's 119-116 win over the Nuggets. Alexander-Walker continues to be one of Minnesota's primary backcourt options off the bench, as he is averaging 22.2 minutes across five appearances. The 26-year-old guard is also on fire from beyond the arc to begin the 2024-25 campaign, converting 63.2 percent of his 3.8 three-point attempts per contest.
Solid contributions in loss
Alexander-Walker logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 120-114 loss to Dallas. Alexander-Walker was effective offensively while having similar workloads to Naz Reid and Donte DiVincenzo as headliners of the second unit. Mike Conley logged only 22 minutes, with Alexander-Walker helping crowdsource point guard duties in his off minutes.
