Rotowire

Walker supplied 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and three steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 loss to the Timberwolves.
Walker might have needed 12 shots to score 11 points, but he salvaged his fantasy line by delivering solid numbers in other categories, including a three-steal performance.
