Bones

Hyland

Dosunmu dealt with an injury in his right thumb earlier this season, and it has popped back up again. If he ends up missing this matchup with the Clippers, Bones Hyland, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon Jr. would likely be in line for a few extra minutes, with Hyland playing the largest role off the bench.

Beginning his second stint with the Timberwolves, Anderson was thrust into the rotation immediately. While the playing time and production weren’t enough to make SloMo someone worth considering in fantasy leagues, his addition did extend Minnesota’s rotation to nine players. Mike Conley, who has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball, picked up another DNP-CD, while Bones Hyland (six points, two rebounds and two three-pointers) played just 12 minutes off the bench.

Edwards is a late addition to the Timberwolves’ injury report for right foot injury management. If he’s unable to play, the Timberwolves will have to rely more on Julius Randle, who has struggled in recent games. Bones Hyland will also take on a bigger role, possibly moving into the starting lineup.

Added to the injury report on Wednesday morning, Edwards is good to go for the Timberwolves’ final game before the All-Star break. He’ll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Bones Hyland’s streaming value taking a significant hit.

Edwards woke up with an illness and subsequently popped up on the injury report as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old shooting guard will have the afternoon to recover in time for the game. Bones Hyland would be a streaming option is Edwards is ultimately ruled out on Wednesday.

While the Timberwolves await the expected return of Mike Conley and Ayo Dosunmu’s debut, Hyland has held down the fort as the first guard off the bench. For the first time this season, he’s recorded back-to-back 20-point games, doing so efficiently. In games against the Raptors and Pelicans, Hyland totaled 40 points on 14-of-23 shooting from the field. While he isn’t a must-stream player, Bones has a higher short-term ceiling because of Minnesota’s lack of perimeter depth.

Hyland was instrumental in Wednesday’s win over the Raptors. The 25-year-old point guard was instant offense with 20 points on 12 field goal attempts and four three-pointers off the bench. Only Anthony Edwards had more points for the Timberwolves in the 128-126 victory. Hyland’s scoring isn’t consistent enough for him to have much fantasy value when Edwards is available.

While Edwards is back on the injury report, the good news is that it’s because of a sore left elbow rather than the lingering right foot issue. With the Timberwolves trading Mike Conley on Tuesday, Bones Hyland would be the likely replacement in the lineup if Ant-Man can’t play.

Edwards is dealing with back spasms. His status is up in the air for Monday’s game against the Grizzlies. If he’s ruled out, Mike Conley could start in his place, though Bones Hyland has been the better streaming option when Edwards has missed games before.

Conley missed Thursday’s game against the Thunder, which led to Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark taking on a few extra minutes off the bench. Conley will be part of the mix in the guard rotation off the bench against Memphis.
