Thu Nov 14 04:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Timberwolves Look to Bounce Back Against Trail Blazers, Dillingham Could Get Big Minutes
The Minnesota Timberwolves are looking to make amends after a disappointing loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night. The Wolves, who turned the ball over 23 times and gave up 16 points in transition, will face the same Blazers team Wednesday night, with a renewed focus on taking care of business.
Adding to the intrigue of the rematch, veteran point guard Mike Conley will sit out for rest, opening up a potential opportunity for rookie guard Rob Dillingham. Dillingham, drafted by the Wolves with the intention of him contributing this season, has only seen limited minutes so far.
Many, including Timberwolves podcaster Dane Moore, believe this is the perfect chance for Dillingham to showcase his skills and gain valuable experience. Giving him extended playing time, even in a starting role for a game, could be beneficial for his development.
With Conley out and Portland a beatable team, the Timberwolves could use this opportunity to give their young prospect a chance to shine. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Dillingham’s performance could offer valuable insights into his potential as a key player for the franchise in the future.
