Rob Dillingham does not play in season opener

Rob Dillingham received a DNP-Coach's Decision in Minnesota's season-opening win against Portland on Wednesday. Coach Chris Finch opted to use Bones Hyland late in the game instead, telling the St. Paul Pioneer Press he felt Hyland was better suited to handle the ball and defend Portland's drives in that situation.
Fantasy Impact:
This was a disappointing start for Dillingham, who entered the season with expectations of potentially earning significant minutes at point guard. Not only did Donte DiVincenzo get the starting nod over him, but Hyland also saw court time while Dillingham remained on the bench. This usage suggests Dillingham may be lower in the point guard pecking order than initially anticipated.
