Shabazz Muhammad scored 17 points on 6-of-10 shots from the floor in the Timberwolves final preseason game. He added two rebounds and a steal to his final line.
Fantasy Impact:
Shabazz played 19 minutes off the bench on Friday night. He's averaging around 20 minutes per game in the preseason, and that seems like the right number to carry over into the regular season. He's currently ranked 229 on our expert consensus rankings, so he shouldn't matter in shallow leagues, but he's a good source of scoring in deeper formats. Muhammad claims he worked on his defense this offseason, and through five games he has three steals and zero blocks. The sample is small, but hopefully his improved defense can translate to some steals and blocks once season starts.
