Rudy Gobert

MIN Center #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rudy Gobert recorded 22 points (9-of-11 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 17 rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocks in Friday’s win over the Mavericks.

Gobert had one of his best games of the season on Friday, but he may not be available for Minnesota’s next game. The 7-foot-1 center was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an “unnecessary flail” during Friday’s victory. If the league office doesn’t rescind the call, Gobert will be suspended for Sunday’s game against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer, with the latter playing four minutes on Friday, would be the replacement in the starting lineup. While Reid offers solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, Beringer needs to start to be of value to fantasy managers.
Naz Reid

MIN Center-Forward #11

Naz Reid finished Friday’s win over the Mavericks with 21 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers.

Reid had the kind of night that has made him a favorite of fantasy managers for quite some time, recording a complete stat line while shooting over 50 percent from the field. The only quibble for fantasy managers would be the foul shooting, but Reid only attempted two free throws on the night. With Rudy Gobert facing a one-game suspension for flagrant foul points, the Timberwolves will need another big night from Reid on Sunday against the 76ers, even if he doesn’t start.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards tallied 40 points (16-of-30 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Mavericks.

Edwards put on a show on Friday, making it eight games this season with 40 points or more. As has been the case for most of this season, Ant-Man was at his best when the Timberwolves needed him most, shooting 6-of-8 from the field in the fourth quarter. Edwards and the Timberwolves play one more game in Week 17, as they host the 76ers on Sunday.
Terrence Shannon

MIN Guard-Forward #1

Terrence Shannon Jr. (foot) is off the injury report for Friday’s game against the Mavericks.

The Timberwolves have a clean injury report for their first game out of the All-Star break, including Shannon. Due to a strained left foot, he’s been out since Christmas. While Shannon’s return may result in fewer minutes for Jaylen Clark, who already wasn’t playing much, this is unlikely to affect fantasy basketball in the short term.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards finished with 32 points (13-of-22 FGs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointers in the All-Star Game on Sunday.

Edwards received 10 of the 14 votes for MVP of the All-Star Game, with Kawhi Leonard receiving the other four. Edwards’ highest-scoring game was the first matchup with Team World, which ended with a Scottie Barnes game-winning triple after Edwards forced overtime with a three-pointer of his own. They lost to Team USA Stars in the second game of the night, but they got revenge in the championship by winning 47-21. Edwards has had his best season as a scorer thus far and will look to build on this performance with a strong finish to this season.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards finished Wednesday’s win over the Trail Blazers with 14 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers.

Due to an illness, Edwards was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. That may have factored into his attempting just ten shots, but he still made half of them. That included a 4-of-6 night from beyond the arc and a complete stat line. So, all wasn’t lost for those who had Edwards on their fantasy rosters. After the All-Star break, the Timberwolves play two more games to conclude Week 17.
Jaden McDaniels

MIN Forward #3

Jaden McDaniels amassed 21 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

After totaling eight points in the Timberwolves’ final two games of Week 16, losses to the Pelicans and Clippers, McDaniels has gotten back on track. He’s totaled 39 points in Minnesota’s first two games of Week 17, recording complete stat lines in both. And McDaniels has been a menace defensively, totaling three steals and six blocked shots. Despite providing top-75 fantasy value, he’s still rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which may be a bit low.
Julius Randle

MIN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle accumulated 41 points (14-of-24 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Trail Blazers.

One game removed from dropping his third triple-double of the season, Randle exploded for a season-high 41 points. The Timberwolves forward was at his best in the fourth quarter, scoring 23 points before being subbed out. That’s an impressive way for Randle to go into the All-Star break, after which the Timberwolves will play two more games to complete Week 17.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards (illness) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

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.
Naz Reid

MIN Center-Forward #11

Naz Reid and Mouhamed Gueye were each fined $35,000 for their roles in an on-court altercation in Monday’s game.

Reid and Gueye got into it early in the fourth quarter of Monday’s game. Both players were ejected after some shoving. While neither player was suspended, both were fined $35,000 for their actions.
