Shannon amassed 33 points (11-14 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and five assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Magic.

Shannon didn't start Wednesday, but he made his presence felt off the bench and led all Minnesota players in this loss while setting a new career-high scoring mark. This was just the seventh time Shannon scored in double digits this season, and even though one game won't be enough to experience a drastic uptick in his fantasy upside, don't be surprised if he has a bigger role offensively in the final two games of the regular season, especially if the Timberwolves continue to rest most of their starters.

Reid logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Magic.

Reid moved to the starting lineup due to the absences of Julius Randle (hand) and Rudy Gobert (rest). As expected, Reid was one of Minnesota's most reliable offensive weapons in a game where the starters were either rested altogether or limited to fewer minutes. Reid has been playing well lately, averaging 12.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game over his last nine outings.

McDaniels (knee) ended Wednesday's 132-120 loss to the Magic with 18 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes.

McDaniels returned to the hardwood following a six-game absence due to left knee tendinopathy and a bone bruise, but the Timberwolves kept his minutes in check. With a playoff berth locked up, Minnesota's goal is to have McDaniels as healthy as possible for their upcoming postseason run. The Timberwolves could have McDaniels slightly ramp up his minutes in their final two games of the regular season.

Robinson logged 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 win over the Bucks.

Robinson (hip) returned after a one-game absence, as Detroit continues to manage its key players heading into the playoffs. In what was certainly a favorable matchup, Robinson went for at least 20 points for the first time in his past 27 games, a welcome sight for anyone still rostering him. As for his overall season value, Robinson continues to be one of the best three-point specialists typically available on waiver wires, averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game thus far.

Stewart (calf) chipped in eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 win over the Bucks.

Back in action after missing 13 straight games due to a left calf strain, Stewart ended up taking on one of his lighter workloads of the season. Though he's a trusted defender in the frontcourt, Stewart is unlikely to see much more than 20 minutes once he's fully ramped up, as he remains stuck in a backup role behind starting center Jalen Duren.

Cunningham (lung) posted 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt), 10 assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 win over Milwaukee.

Cunningham returned to the court after missing the previous 11 games due to a collapsed lung. While his production was certainly more than acceptable, the fact that he played 26 minutes is perhaps even more encouraging. Detroit will close the regular season with games Friday versus the Hornets and Sunday versus the Pacers before entering the playoffs as the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Ryan accumulated 16 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one block across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 loss to the Pistons.

Ryan continues to flash some offensive upside, having now scored at least 14 points in four of his past five games. He certainly fits the mould as a silly-season winner, providing fantasy managers with a viable scoring option. Assuming Milwaukee continues to prioritize anything but winning, expect Ryan to play out the season in a meaningful role.

Antetokounmpo supplied five points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds and one block over four minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 loss to the Pistons.

With the Bucks basically running out a G League squad, Antetokounmpo has been able to at least stick in the rotation, albeit for limited minutes. Given the five points marked a season high, managers can obviously look elsewhere for streaming value.

Rollins provided 23 points (8-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 137-111 loss to Detroit.

Rollins continues to serve as the Bucks' primary ball-handler while shouldering the bulk of the scoring load. Despite missing a handful of games over the past few weeks, Rollins has certainly proven himself this season, flirting with top-50 value through 74 appearances. All signs point to him being a must-draft player next season, although managers will want to be cautious, given the fact that everything that could have gone right for him this season has.

Holmgren tallied 30 points (10-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 14 rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals across 31 minutes in Wednesday's 128-110 win over the Clippers.

Holmgren turned in an impressive all-around performance to help the Thunder secure the best record in the NBA for a second consecutive season. The All-Star big man led all players in points, rebounds and blocks while recording his 24th double-double of the season. Additionally, he dished out a season-high five assists and swatted multiple shots for a third straight game.
