Kyle

Anderson

Regardless of what happens on Sunday, the Timberwolves will be the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. So, Edwards, McDaniels and Anderson are among the many rotation players who won’t be available for the regular-season finale. Seldom-used options like Zyon Pullin and Julian Phillips are likely to play rotation minutes, and Donte DiVincenzo may play a few minutes in what will be his 82nd game of the season.

After recording a modest stat line in Wednesday’s loss to the Magic, Anderson was considerably better against the Rockets on Friday. SloMo finished one assist shy of a triple-double while shooting over 50 percent from the field. And in 32 minutes, Anderson did not commit a turnover. His value in active fantasy leagues for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Pelicans depends on the availability of Julius Randle.

Randle will miss a second straight game while Reid lands on the injury report for right shoulder injury maintenance. With Rudy Gobert (rest) already ruled out, the Timberwolves will have to turn to Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Randle did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Magic, with Kyle Anderson replacing him in the starting lineup. Randle’s return would push SloMo back to the bench, eliminating most of his value in active fantasy leagues.

With both of Minnesota’s big men sitting this one out, Naz Reid should be in line for a featured role against Orlando. Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer should see additional run, too.

Minnesota’s depth will be challenged on Saturday, and McDaniels’ absence should free up more opportunities for Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson.

Reid is back after missing the Timberwolves’ last two games with a sprained right ankle. His return is likely to result in fewer minutes for Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr., eliminating both players’ streaming value.

Reid will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. His continued absence means more playing time for Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr. The latter is worth a look for managers seeking assists, as Anderson racked up six in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz.

Reid did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Jazz after spraining his right ankle the night prior. Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr. saw their minutes increase in his absence, with the former recording six assists and the latter three steals. Neither is a must-stream player if Reid remains out.

Anderson is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Magic with a sore right knee. His return expands the Timberwolves’ rotation to nine, as only eight players saw action the last time out. Andreson is not a player who should be rostered in redraft leagues.
