After playing 22 minutes or more in his first three appearances as a Bull, Dillingham totaled 18 minutes in the two games played before Sunday. Anfernee Simons (wrist) being out freed up minutes, and Dillingham benefited. The final stat line wasn’t great, but the ability to put up numbers in multiple categories was a step in the right direction. Given where the Bulls are, Dillingham should play plenty for the rest of the season. He isn’t a must-add yet, but he is worth watching during Chicago’s three-game Week 18.

After playing 22 minutes in his first two games as a Bull, Dillingham logged 30 on Wednesday. And he took advantage of the increased opportunity, providing solid value in points, assists and steals. The issue for Dillingham moving forward is that the Bulls have a crowded perimeter rotation. That could make it difficult for him to carve out a significant role for himself. That said, it would probably be in the Bulls’ best interest to ensure Dillingham logs heavy minutes, given his limited playing time in Minnesota before being traded.

Minnesota gave up an unprotected first-round pick in 2031 and a pick swap in 2030 to acquire Dillingham on draft night, but they’ll cut their losses early. Dillingham was able to show some flashes as a rookie, but he hasn’t been able to do much in year two. He joins a crowded guard room in Chicago, so there isn’t a clear path to minutes, but he still holds plenty of upside.

Dillingham is good to go after initially being questionable. However, so are Anthony Edwards and Mike Conley, so the second-year guard is unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.

Dillingham popped up on the injury report as questionable with an illness Saturday morning. He’ll have the afternoon to recover for Saturday night’s game against the Nets. Dillingham will only have a significant role if one of Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards, who are both also questionable, turn out to be unavailable.

Dillingham played one minute in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, only to exit after fracturing his nose. After sitting out Sunday’s win over the Pacers, he’s available to return. With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) out, additional minutes may be available, but Dillingham is not a must-stream player in most fantasy leagues.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, Dillingham is out after breaking his nose during Friday’s loss to the Lakers. His absence will not impact fantasy basketball, as the second-year guard has not been in the Timberwolves’ rotation to begin the season.

Dillingham didn’t see the floor in the season opener and then fractured his nose after playing just one minute on Friday. If he is available, he will likely be donning a face mask, but he won’t play a significant role.

With several key Timberwolves players resting, Dillingham got the start on Friday and put together a solid outing. Despite being cold from beyond the arc, he still shot decently overall and made his way into double figures as a scorer in his 26 minutes of action. He was most impressive as a passer, however, leading Minnesota in assists against Philadelphia. Dillingham didn’t find a meaningful role with the Wolves during his rookie season, but with Nickiel Alexander-Walker joining the Hawks this past offseason, he will have a chance to land more consistent playing time in Year 2.

Minnesota’s starting unit on Friday will not feature any of its regular rotation players. With Mike Conley Jr., Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels headlining the list of Timberwolves that are unavailable, younger players will have opportunities to start and soak up minutes on Friday. Dillingham, who scored 27 points in a game against Guangzhou earlier this preseason, will have another chance to impress coaches and potentially make a case for a bigger role this upcoming regular season.

While Mike Conley, who did not play on Monday, remains the Timberwolves’ starting point guard, Dillingham should have more opportunities to contribute than he did as a rookie. While Guangzhou was overmatched, the second-year guard commanding the floor as he did was encouraging. Dillingham was efficient as a scorer and playmaker, shooting well over 50 percent from the field and committing just one turnover. Fellow second-year guard Terrence Shannon Jr. (15/2/4 with four three-pointers) offers a higher upside for this season, especially with Nickeil Alexander-Walker out of the picture, but Dillingham won’t lack opportunities.

The Timberwolves are resting their starters for Monday’s exhibition. So, the younger players will have opportunities to show that they should be in the regular-season rotation or that they deserve to be on the opening night roster. Dillingham, Shannon and Beringer have the best chances of playing rotation minutes once the season begins, with Shannon offering the highest upside for fantasy basketball.

Dillingham continues to be a reliable scoring option for Minnesota this summer ahead of his second season in the league. He didn’t attempt a three-pointer in this game, which was out of character for him, but it allowed him to score in other ways. Dillingham is clearly talented, but don’t expect him to be shutdown early. The extra reps are good for him.

Having finished Thursday’s summer opener with more turnovers than assists, Dillingham cleaned some things up on Saturday. While the assists increased from six to nine, the second-year guard’s turnovers decreased from seven to four. Terrence Shannon Jr. may be the player best equipped to step into the role vacated by Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Still, Dillingham will also have opportunities, especially since Mike Conley is not getting any younger.

Along with Terrence Shannon Jr. and Jaylen Clark, Dillingham is one of the returning players on Minnesota’s summer roster with a serious shot at earning rotation minutes next season. The Timberwolves lost Nickeil Alexander-Walker in free agency, and with Mike Conley not getting any younger, Dillingham will have every opportunity to earn more minutes at the point. Two areas where he’ll need to improve: finishing and ball control. In addition to committing seven turnovers on Thursday, Dillingham shot 1-of-8 from inside the arc. The good news is that he was 3-of-6 from three and posted a solid assist tally.

Dillingham has not played since April 11 against the Nets. He may be available for Game 3, but that does not mean the rookie will vault into the rotation. Dillingham has not reached double digits in minutes played since February 28.

Dillingham has been sidelined for the entire postseason so far, and it’s unclear if that will change moving forward. However, even when he is healthy enough to play, it is unlikely that he would enter the rotation.

Dillingham last appeared in a game on April 11, but the rookie had fallen out of the Timberwolves’ rotation well before then. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to play whatever minutes are available among Minnesota’s reserve guards.

Dillingham is a late addition to the Timberwolves’ injury report for Saturday’s series opener. He has not been in the rotation recently, last reaching double digits in minutes played on February 28. Dillingham’s status will only have an impact if Minnesota were to lose one of its veteran guards due to injury.
