Bowen may have the best chance of making the team considering he suited up for the Wolves at Summer League, but none of these guys are guaranteed a regular-season roster spot, and are therefore safe to ignore in fantasy hoops.

For the first time since early November, McDaniels has recorded back-to-back 20-point games. He’s also reached double figures in shot attempts in two straight games, and this level of aggression is what the Timberwolves need from McDaniels consistently. He got off to an excellent start to the season, but tailed off a bit after Christmas. Even if he doesn’t do much scoring, McDaniels will provide solid fantasy value. However, he’s a far different player when willing to look for his shot more often.

Edwards finished Saturday’s victory with season-highs in made free throws and free-throw attempts, boosting his overall scoring output. He’s now scored 30 points or more in 20 games this season, with six having occurred in January. The Timberwolves open their four-game Week 16 with another game in Memphis on Monday, so another 30-point night may be in the cards for Ant-Man.

Adebayo shook off an ice-cold stretch to put together an impressive 15-point fourth quarter where he knocked down 6-of-10 shots from the floor, sparking the Heat to a massive comeback effort that came up just short. The 28-year-old big man has delivered his usual blend of scoring and rebounding for fantasy purposes, averaging 18.1 points and 9.8 boards through 42 games.

Larsson saw an uptick in creation possessions on a night where both Norman Powell (back) and Tyler Herro (rib) remained absent. He came up with a pair of clutch buckets in the final three minutes as the Heat put together a furious late rally that came up short. The 24-year-old sharpshooter has been red-hot of late, averaging 14.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and two steals in four games over the last week. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper leagues.
