Rotoworld Player News

Naz Reid

MIN Center-Forward #11

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Naz Reid accounted for 19 points (7-of-11 FGs), nine rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Clippers.

Reid has scored at least 18 points in three consecutive games, the first time he’s done so since mid-November. His corner three-pointer with 13.5 seconds remaining broke a 104-all tie and gave the Timberwolves the lead for good. A top-75 player on the season, Reid has provided top-40 value over the past two weeks. The Timberwolves play three games during Week 8, starting with the Suns on Monday.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards shot 3-of-11 from the field and 9-of-9 from the foul line in Saturday’s win over the Clippers, scoring 15 points with six rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks.

After struggling with turnovers and foul trouble in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans, Edwards had another difficult night on Saturday. A perfect night at the foul line boosted his points tally, but he was also responsible for five turnovers. The good news for fantasy managers is that Edwards provided solid value in rebounds, assists and “stocks,” but they’ll be hoping for better in Week 8. The Timberwolves play three games in Week 8, good news for managers competing in leagues that won’t combine Weeks 8 and 9.
Jaden McDaniels

MIN Forward #3

Jaden McDaniels amassed 27 points (10-of-13 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), one rebound, two assists, two steals, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Clippers.

Counted on mainly for his defense, McDaniels came up big on offense for the Timberwolves. The 27 points were the most he’s scored in a game since October 29, when he dropped a season-high 30 on the Lakers. He finished the comeback victory with a complete stat line and has provided seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McDaniels may be undervalued, as he has been a top-50 player this season.
Julius Randle

MIN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle amassed 24 points (6-of-15 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Clippers.

On a night when Anthony Edwards was limited to 3-of-11 shooting, Randle was one of the Timberwolves who stepped up to help erase a slow start. He’s scored at least 22 points in three of his last four outings, but the decreases in points and field-goal percentage are why Randle has only been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, that isn’t a reason to panic, as Randle’s season-long value remains high. Minnesota has an excellent schedule for those competing in leagues that don’t combine Weeks 8 and 9, as they’ll play three games next week.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards accumulated 11 points (3-of-6 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans.

Two days removed from torching the Pelicans for 44 points in an overtime victory, Edwards had arguably his worst game of the season. Due to foul trouble, he attempted six shots from the field, the second-fewest in a game for Ant-Man this season. He only attempted five shots in an October 26 win over the Pacers, but that’s because the Timberwolves guard exited after three minutes due to injury. Add in the eight turnovers, and Edwards had a dud on Thursday that fantasy managers will have to flush. Don’t be surprised if he bounces back on Saturday when Minnesota hosts the Clippers.
Rudy Gobert

MIN Center #27

Rudy Gobert recorded 15 points (5-of-8 FGs, 5-of-8 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists and one blocked shot in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans.

After logging 38 minutes and putting forth a dominant showing in Tuesday’s win over the Pelicans, Gobert only played 24 minutes in Thursday’s rematch. This isn’t the first time that Timberwolves head coach has decided to go small in crunch time, but that’s a concern when discussing Gobert’s fantasy value. He’s providing 11th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, well below his Yahoo! ADP (68). Gobert remains a viable option in most leagues, but the playing time is something to keep an eye on moving forward.
Naz Reid

MIN Center-Forward #11

Naz Reid amassed 19 points (6-of-13 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans.

Seven Timberwolves scored in double figures on Thursday, with Reid’s total being surpassed only by Julius Randle, who scored 28. With head coach Chris Finch being willing to go small down the stretch, as he has on a few occasions this season, it was Reid who was on the floor while starting center Rudy Gobert was on the bench. Reid is already rostered in 74 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but, notably, he’s played at least 28 minutes in each of his last four appearances (33 on Thursday). Consistently hitting or exceeding that number would likely raise his fantasy ceiling.
Julius Randle

MIN Forward-Center #30

Julius Randle accounted for 28 points (9-of-18 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans.

On a night when Anthony Edwards finished with more turnovers (eight) than shot attempts (six), Randle led the way as other Timberwolves picked up the slack. The roles were reversed in Tuesday’s win over the Pelicans, so it’s only right that the veteran forward stepped up in the rematch. Based on his Yahoo! ADP, many expected Randle to be a middle-round option in category leagues. Well, he’s providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, much to the delight of those who drafted him. Minnesota ends its Week 7 with a home game against the Clippers on Saturday.
Naz Reid

MIN Center-Forward #11

Naz Reid provided a boost off the bench with 18 points (6-of-12 FGs), five rebounds, six assists, three steals and four three-pointers against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Reid has once again been one of the best reserves in the NBA, but he was able to do more than just score in this one. He set new season highs for both assists and steals, which led to one of his more complete performances of the season. Reid has once again been a top-100 player in nine-category leagues this year despite a slight drop in production across the board.
Anthony Edwards

MIN Guard #5

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 44 points (16-of-30 FGs), five rebounds, four assists, one block and six three-pointers in a 149-142 win over the Pelicans on Tuesday.

New Orleans didn’t have much of an answer for Edwards, which led to him scoring at least 30 points for a sixth straight game. This was also his fourth 40-point performance of the season, with three of those coming over the past six games. Edwards is on an incredible scoring tear right now, and with a rematch in New Orleans coming up on Thursday, he should be able to keep this going.
