Ayo Dosunmu posted 14 points, six rebounds, nine assists, one steal, one block and one three on 6-of-11 shooting and 1-of-2 from the line in 27 minutes off the bench on Friday, October 23, when Minnesota beat Orlando 115-93.

The nine-assist total stands out against his 3.6 per game last season (69 games), but he took 11 shots and played 27 minutes, both ordinary for him. In nine-category leagues he offered brief help in assists and turnovers (zero), though his efficiency and three-point volume remain modest. In points leagues the performance was worth 40.7 fantasy points, well above his projected 26.1, but came in a normal role and should be treated as one outing until his minutes or usage shifts.

Ayo Dosunmu

Dosunmu has now played 27.8 minutes per game through two contests, nearly identical to his 27.3 last season (69 games), and his usage sits at 20.3 per cent at 55.9 per cent true shooting. He is averaging 15.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists so far, with the rebound and assist rates comfortably ahead of last season's 3.4 and 3.6. The zero turnovers stand as the cleanest part of Friday's line, given he averaged 1.4 last season.

Minnesota has one game left this week, on Friday. Dosunmu's bench role and middling efficiency make him a hold in most formats. The assist spike is notable but came in a blowout without any change in minutes or shots, so managers should wait for the role to expand before adding him where he is available.

What to do

• Hold Dosunmu in standard leagues and wait for his role to grow before treating Friday's assist total as a new baseline.

• Monitor his minutes and usage over the next few games to see whether the playmaking continues with similar volume.

• Keep him on benches in nine-category leagues where his efficiency and three-point shooting remain below specialist level.
