Chase Budinger

Chase Budinger scored two poins on 1-of-2 shooting with two rebounds and one assist in 8.5 minutes during Wednesday's loss to the New York Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

The 27-year-old was signed for the rest of the season, so he may carve out some minutes off the bench moving forward. It's hard to imagine him becoming relevant in standard formats, though.

The Timberwolves have traded small forward Chase Budinger to Indiana for Damjan Rudez. Budinger averaged 6.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 0.8 three-pointers per game with Minnesota last season.

Fantasy Impact

Budinger became expendable in Minnesota with the plethora of young wing players they have stockpiled there. In Indiana, Budinger should be able to help spread the floor as a versatile shooting threat, albeit in a reserve role.

Timberwolves discussing a deal that would send Budinger to the Sixers. Budinger would then be bought out in exchange for picks.

Fantasy Impact

This would open up some minutes at forward for Shabazz Muhammad.

Chase Budinger scored a season-high 19 points while tying his high for minutes on the season with 28 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

After Corey Brewer was dealt to Houston, minutes have opened up at small forward for Budinger. It is best to wait on this situation until the minutes become more steady. Until then I would stay away from Budinger.
