Anderson is one of nine players who won't suit up for Minnesota in the final game of the regular season. The veteran forward averaged 6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game in 43 regular-season contests for the Grizzlies, Jazz and Timberwolves throughout the campaign.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Nears double-double in spot start
Rotowire
Anderson posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Friday's 136-132 win over Houston.
Anderson filled in with a solid line in place of Julius Randle (hand), who will likely remain out for the team's regular-season finale against the Pelicans. Anderson's participation since joining the Timberwolves has been limited, but he provides critical minutes with the second unit and can help boost the team's rebounding when Randle or Rudy Gobert sits.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Returns to limited role
Rotowire
Anderson closed Friday's 115-103 loss to the 76ers with six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 14 minutes.
Anderson saw just 14 minutes in the loss and was unable to repeat his defensive heroics from the night before. As expected, his recent uptick in production was nothing more than an outlier. Other than being a potential streaming consideration, Anderson holds no real fantasy value.

Although Anderson saw a considerable workload, he wasn't able to translate it to much fantasy appeal. He's been more involved over his last three games with 21.3 minutes per contest, but he's averaging just 4.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Increased role in win
Rotowire
Anderson amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 116-104 victory over the Suns.
Anderson logged 25 minutes off the bench, the most he has played since rejoining the Timberwolves. With Naz Reid forced to the locker room due to an ankle injury, albeit temporarily, Anderson was afforded a few extra minutes. If Reid is to miss any amount of time moving forward, Anderson could be on the radar as a potential streaming candidate given his ability to chip in across multiple categories.

Grizzlies' Kyle Anderson: Logs 18 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Anderson finished Friday's 123-114 victory over Utah with 10 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one steal across 18 minutes.
Anderson was a negligible part of the rotation in Utah, but he's been much more involved in Memphis, averaging 22.3 minutes per game to go with 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per contest. If Anderson is able to flirt with 20 minutes a night with the Grizzlies, he might be able to churn out some low-end value in deep leagues.
