Rotoworld Player News

Ayo Dosunmu

MIN Guard #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ayo Dosunmu amassed 11 points (4-of-11 FGs), one rebound, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Clippers.

As expected, Dosunmu was part of the Timberwolves’ bench rotation in his first appearance on Sunday. And his 25 minutes led the Timberwolves reserves, one more than Naz Reid. Things could change somewhat once the Timberwolves re-sign Mike Conley, but Ayo should not struggle for playing time. Unfortunately, not much has changed regarding his fantasy value. While Dosunmu is worth rostering in 14-team leagues, his value in 12-team leagues is low unless his team is shorthanded on the perimeter.
Julius Randle

MIN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle accounted for 17 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Clippers.

Even with his modest output on Sunday, Randle continues to provide fantasy managers with excellent value. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, slightly lower than his season-long production. Randle will look to get his Week 17 off to a good start on Monday against the Hawks, the first of four games the Timberwolves will play.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards finished Sunday’s loss to the Clippers with 23 points (7-of-18 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer.

Edwards and the Timberwolves were unable to bounce back from Friday’s disappointing loss to the Pelicans, as Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers grabbed control early and never let go. Ant-Man’s final stat line was decent, but not at the level that many fantasy managers expect of him. His streak of games with at least 30 points ended at four, and Edwards will look to start a new one on Monday against the Hawks. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 17, two on each side of the All-Star break.
Julian Phillips

MIN Forward #4

Julian Phillips (wrist) is available for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Phillips is good to go for his Timberwolves’ debut. However, he offered little fantasy value in Chicago, and that’s unlikely to change in Minnesota, at least in the short term.
Julian Phillips

MIN Forward #4

Julian Phillips (wrist) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Clippers.

Phillips suffered a sprained right wrist before he was traded from Chicago to Minnesota. Due to the injury, his Timberwolves debut may be delayed a bit longer. Phillips did not play consistent rotation minutes in Chicago, and it’s unknown how he fits into Minnesota’s rotation. Leave him on the waiver wire.
Bones Hyland

MIN Guard #8

Bones Hyland tallied 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Pelicans.

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.
Rudy Gobert

MIN Center #27

Rudy Gobert recorded 12 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 16 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks in Friday’s loss to the Pelicans.

Gobert has hit double figures in rebounds in five consecutive games, with Friday’s effort being accompanied by five “stocks.” Even with the rebounds and defensive production, the 7-foot-1 center continues to hover just inside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. However, for those willing to punt free-throw percentage, Gobert has been among the best post players to have rostered in that particular build.
Julius Randle

MIN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle accounted for 24 points (9-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block in Friday’s loss to the Pelicans.

While he shot the ball well overall, Randle missed all five of his three-point attempts. The good news for fantasy managers is that he hit a high percentage from inside the arc and provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, Randle has been a top-50 player, which aligns with his season-long value.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards finished Friday’s loss to the Pelicans with 35 points (11-of-22 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and five three-pointers.

Make it four consecutive games with at least 30 points for Edwards, who led all scorers with 35 in Friday’s defeat. As has been the case on multiple occasions this season, the Timberwolves’ offense grew stagnant in crunch time, and that was costly. Over the past two weeks, Edwards has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, enhancing his season-long value. The Timberwolves end Week 16 on Sunday against the Clippers.
Julius Randle

MIN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle (thumb) is available for Saturday’s game against the Pelicans.

Randle is good to go after initially being questionable for Friday’s game. He’ll occupy his usual place in the Timberwolves’ starting lineup.
