Al Jefferson led the Timberwolves with 25 points and eight rebounds in their 102-96 win over the 76ers on Wednesday night.
Our View:Jefferson has scored over 20 points in all but three of the Timberwolves games. The center averages a double-double and is one of the better centers in the league.
Timberwolves point guard Randy Foye has played at least 33 minutes in each of his last three games, compared to 14 or less for starter Sebastian Telfair, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Our View:This includes Sunday's tilt, in which Telfair started, but played only five minutes, while Foye saw 39 minutes of action and scored 18 points while grabbing five rebounds and dishing six assists. His fantasy value will continue to rise with his increased playing time.
