Minnesota

Timberwolves

Randle had just four points and was 1-of-10 from the field in Thursday’s win over the Clippers. The 31-year-old power forward bounced back Sunday, though he still struggled with his shot a bit. Randle was just one rebound and three assists shy of recording a triple-double.

DiVincenzo is heating up as the 29-year-old shooting guard posted at least 17 points and at least four three-pointers for the third consecutive game. The assists and steals have helped him forge an exemplary fantasy basketball season. DiVincenzo has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster.

21 points feels low for Edwards, but Minnesota had five other players in double digits. The 24-year-old shooting guard wasn’t particularly efficient. Edwards and the Timberwolves maintained their reputation for having the Nuggets’ number with yet another win over Denver. The Timberwolves have three games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game with back spasms, Randle will be available to play. He’ll look to bounce back from his worst performance of the season, a four-point showing against the Clippers on Thursday in which he shot 1-of-10 from the field.

Randle is dealing with back spasms, which is why he appears on the Timberwolves’ injury report. He’s yet to miss a game this season, and his absence on Sunday would result in more scoring opportunities for Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid. As for who moves into the starting lineup, Reid is a potential replacement, as is Terrence Shannon Jr.

Randle had a rough night in Inglewood, producing his lowest scoring output of the season. Fantasy managers were able to salvage something due to the six assists, but this was a disappointing night for the Timberwolves’ forward. Naz Reid (11 points, seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks) and Jaden McDaniels (12/7/2/3) stepped up, supplementing Anthony Edwards’ 31-point night to help the Timberwolves escape with the 94-88 victory. Randle will look to bounce back when Minnesota visits Denver on Sunday.

DiVincenzo has made at least three three-pointers in four straight games, knocking down four against the Clippers. The assists and steals have been just as important over the past week for the Timberwolves’ guard, who has been a top-50 player. DiVincenzo and the Timberwolves have one more game in Week 18, on Sunday against the Nuggets in Denver.

Edwards leads the NBA in points scored in road games, and he was at his best during the second half of Thursday’s victory. He scored 21 points after halftime, including a three-pointer over two defenders with 42.9 seconds remaining that gave the Timberwolves a four-point lead. While the shot selection can be an adventure at times, Edwards is one of the NBA’s most lethal scorers. And when he’s shooting as well as he did in the second half of Thursday’s game, Ant-Man is nearly impossible to stop.

Anderson has missed Memphis’ last four games, the last two for personal reasons. He’s reportedly leaving Memphis, with Charania reporting that Anderson plans to sign with the Timberwolves once he clears waivers. To address the opening on their roster and lack of frontcourt depth, the Grizzlies are reportedly signing Taj Gibson.

Gobert was back after serving a one-game suspension on Sunday, and he picked up right where he left off. He had 22 points and 17 rebounds in his previous game, and while he didn’t do as much scoring, he was able to set a new season high for rebounds. Gobert isn’t the same player that he used to be, but he’s still capable of making a big impact for fantasy managers, just like he did in this game.
