Rocco Zikarsky recorded 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), six rebounds and two three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.
Currently on a two-way contract, Zikarsky is looking to further solidify his status in the NBA after appearing in just five games as a rookie. The 6-foot-8 forward has started all three games in Las Vegas, struggling in the first two before rebounding nicely on Monday. The Timberwolves have been without Joan Beringer for each of the last two, with his absence putting a little more on Zikarsky’s plate, even though they don’t play the same position. While he’s unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact redraft leagues, Zikarsky is worth stashing in deeper dynasty leagues following Minnesota’s trade of Julius Randle and Naz Reid.
