    Alexander-Walker is ending the regular season on a solid note. He's scored in double digits in four straight games, marking his longest streak of the season reaching that feat. Even though his upside is limited due to his bench role, Alexander-Walker should continue to play a vital role in Minnesota's rotation.

  • Timberwolves' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Notches 28 points

    Alexander-Walker finished Tuesday's 118-100 victory over the Clippers with 28 points (9-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 28 minutes.

    With Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert back in the lineup, Alexander-Walker was moved to the bench for Tuesday's game, but he still maintained a significant role. It helped his case that he had a hot hand. March has been his best month of the season by far, as he's currently averaging 12.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 three-pointers over his last seven appearances.

  • Timberwolves' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Rejoins second unit

    Alexander-Walker will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Kyle Anderson (shoulder) are back for Minnesota, while Anthony Edwards will continue to fight through ankle and shoulder pain. In a spot start against the Lakers on Sunday, Alexander-Walker finished with 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes.

  • Timberwolves' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Posts 15 points in spot start

    Alexander-Walker supplied 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Lakers.

    Alexander-Walker usually occupies a spot with the second unit, but multiple absences sent him on the floor with the starting five. The loss of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has caused a ripple effect within the depth chart, resulting in players like Alexander-Walker, T.J. Warren and Luka Garza seeing more time on the court. The team will get some much-needed support when Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Kyle Anderson (shoulder) return, which will cap Alexander-Walker's potential.
