Dillingham posted two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal over eight minutes during Saturday's 126-110 loss to the Pistons.
Dillingham played no more than 10 minutes for the second straight game, with Chicago continuing to tinker with its backcourt rotation. In five games since arriving in Chicago, Dillingham has averaged just 7.8 points and 1.4 steals per game, leaving him well off the fantasy radar.

Rotowire
Dillingham racked up 16 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, seven assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 loss to Boston.
Dillingham had his best game in three appearances as a member of the Bulls. He led the team in scoring in defeat with 16 points off the bench, while racking up seven assists and three steals. He's competing for minutes in a crowded backcourt going forward.

Bulls' Rob Dillingham: Omitted from injury report
Rotowire
Dillingham (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.
Dillingham appears to have joined the Bulls and is available to make his team debut. He last saw double-digit minutes back on Dec. 27 with Minnesota, meaning the second-year guard isn't primed for a fantasy-relevant role right off the bat.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Muted role continues
Rotowire
Dillingham supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two rebounds in eight minutes during Tuesday's 139-106 win over the Bucks.
Dillingham was back in the rotation, playing for just the second time in the past four games. After starting the season as a viable backup option, Minnesota has opted to go in another direction of late, handing more playing time to Bones Hyland. In 10 appearances over the past month, Dillingham has averaged just 3.3 points and 1.6 assists in 8.2 minutes per game.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Dillingham (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Dillingham presumably woke up under the weather and was a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his status. The second-year point guard hasn't seen the floor in any of Minnesota's last three games, so his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Plays 11 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Dillingham contributed five points (2-5 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and two assists over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 116-110 loss to Memphis.
After a five-game stretch of playing no more than nine minutes per contest, Dillingham has played at least 11 in each of his last three games, averaging 5.3 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.3 steals in that span. While this may be out of necessity, as Mike Conley (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (foot) have been sidelined, prompting the team to start Bones Hyland at point guard, Dillingham is getting opportunities to make a case for a spot in the rotation.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Takes 12 shots in 13 minutes
Rotowire
Dillingham produced eight points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 13 minutes during Monday's 120-96 victory over the Mavericks.
Dillingham certainly wasn't shy with 12 shot attempts in 13 minutes. He continues to be used sparingly by Minnesota and seems to be comfortably behind Donte DiVincenzo and Mike Conley. For now, he's only worth monitoring in deeper fantasy formats.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Solid showing off bench
Rotowire
Dillingham logged eight points (4-8 FG), one rebound, five assists and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 loss to the Lakers.
Making his third appearance of the campaign, Dillingham had his best game by a mile with multiple season-high marks. He was buried on the depth chart to open the season, but now it seems like he's pulling ahead of Bones Hyland. With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) sidelined, Dillingham certainly has a path to earn a larger role.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Excluded from rotation in opener
Rotowire
Dillingham (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Timberwolves' 118-114 season-opening win over the Trail Blazers. "[Bones Hyland] was someone I felt could handle [the ball] out there and could stand up to some of the [Blazers'] drives," Finch told Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press after the game, regarding his decision to use Hyland over Dillingham.
Dillingham entered the season seemingly on the cusp of holding down a backup role at point guard, but his lack of playing time Wednesday doesn't bode well for his outlook. Minnesota ended up making a change at starting point guard, but it was Donte DiVincenzo who received the starting nod over Mike Conley. Minnesota ended up using three point guards on the night, with all of DiVincenzo (20 minutes), Conley (13) and Hyland (eight) receiving playing time over Dillingham.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Team option exercised Saturday
Rotowire
The Timberwolves exercised Dillingham's third-year team option Saturday.
This isn't a surprising move from the Timberwolves, who traded up in the 2024 NBA Draft to select Dillingham with the eighth overall pick. The 20-year-old has an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role behind veteran Mike Conley (rest) in the 2025-26 campaign. Dillingham appeared in 49 regular-season games (one start) in his rookie season, during which he averaged 4.5 points and 2.0 assists in 10.5 minutes per contest.

Dillingham posted a decent night shooting the basketball and was one of four starters to reach double figures in scoring. He was also effective as a playmaker, leading the way with six assists. This was a solid way to close out the preseason for Dillingham, who is expected to take another step forward during his second NBA season.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Starting sans Conley
Rotowire
Dillingham will start in Friday's preseason game against Philadelphia.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Drops 23 points in win
Rotowire
Dillingham racked up 23 points (9-20 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 89-85 Summer League win against the Suns.
Dillingham came just three rebounds and three assists shy of a triple-double, as he filled up the stat sheet. The Kentucky product has had a solid stint during the Las Vegas Summer League, proving that he may deserve some more playing time when the 2025-26 NBA regular season rolls around.

Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Receives playoff minutes
Rotowire
Dillingham closed with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over seven minutes during Wednesday's 124-94 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.
Dillingham made just his third playoff appearance for Minnesota, all of which came in blowouts. The rookie guard struggled to receive consistent playing time this year, averaging 4.5 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 10.5 minutes across 49 regular-season appearances. However, Dillingham will likely continue to grow into a bigger role as Mike Conley ages.

Rotowire
Dillingham (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Dillingham has missed the Wolves' last eight games due to a sprained right ankle. There's a chance he'll return to the floor Saturday, which would give Minnesota some added depth in the backcourt. In 49 games played during the regular season, the rookie guard averaged 4.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 44.1 percent from the field.

Dillingham (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Warriors on Tuesday.
Dillingham missed the Timberwolves' first-round victory over the Lakers due to a right ankle sprain. He'll continue to be sidelined for the start of the second round, but he saw his playing time diminish after the beginning of March, and his absence shouldn't impact the Timberwolves' backcourt rotation.

Dillingham (ankle) is out for Game 1 against the Lakers on Saturday, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Dillingham was a late addition to the injury report for this game due to a right ankle sprain, and the rookie won't be available for this matchup as a result. That said, he's not expected to play a significant role in the rotation even if available. His next chance to play will come in Game 2 on Tuesday.
