Nickeil Alexander-Walker scores 14 points Tuesday
Nickeil Alexander-Walker finished Tuesday's 112-97 loss to Denver with 14 points (5-of-12 FGs), two rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 39 minutes.
Analysis: Due to Mike Conley (Achilles) sitting out Game 5, Alexander-Walker was moved into the starting lineup. While he did finish with a minus-13, the overall stat line was solid. NAW made four of his eight 3-point attempts, and his five assists were countered by one turnover. Alexander-Walker's place in the rotation for Thursday's Game 6 depends on Conley's availability; clearly, he will return to the bench if the Timberwolves' starting point guard can play.
MIN starting NAW, Edwards, Jaden, Towns, Gobert
Timberwolves PR on Twitter
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert will start Tuesday's Game 5 against the Nuggets.
Analysis: The Timberwolves are without Mike Conley, who injured his right Achilles tendon on the final play of Sunday's Game 4 defeat. Alexander-Walker moves into the starting lineup, which also means even more opportunities for Edwards to serve as the primary playmaker. Jordan McLaughlin and Monte Morris could enter the rotation, as Minnesota will need them to help navigate Conley's absence.
