Ayo Dosunmu posts 17 points, 4 steals in loss to Warriors

Dosunmu delivered his best fantasy line of the season Wednesday but remains a streaming option at best in standard nine-category and points leagues.

Ayo Dosunmu posted 17 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 3 threes and no turnovers on 6-of-12 shooting and 2-of-2 from the line in 32 minutes as a starter on Wednesday, October 28, when Minnesota fell 119-114 to Golden State.

The line was his best of the campaign and well above his baseline from last season (69 games), when he averaged 14.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.8 threes in 27.3 minutes. The zero turnovers and season-high four steals lift his appeal in nine-category formats, while the 40.1 fantasy points far exceeded his projection of 25.4 in default points scoring. His 20.2 per cent usage rate and 55.0 per cent true shooting suggest a modest offensive role, and his start share this season remains 0 per cent despite the spot start Wednesday.

Ayo Dosunmu

Dosunmu has now averaged 13.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 27.4 minutes across five games this season. His rank of 134th overall and Roundup Score of 60 out of 99 place him outside standard-league relevance, and his archetype as a backup ball handler suggests limited upside without a change in role. The four steals and clean turnover ledger Wednesday were encouraging, but his baseline numbers paint him as a low-ceiling option.

Minnesota has one game left this week, on Wednesday, before the club goes dark next week with no contests scheduled. Dosunmu remains a streaming option in deeper formats when the schedule favours him, but managers in standard nine-category and points leagues can leave him on waivers.

What to do

• Stream Dosunmu only in deeper leagues when Minnesota's schedule is favourable.

• Leave him on waivers in standard nine-category and points formats.

• Monitor his minutes and start share for any sign of a larger role.
