  • Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: One board shy of double-double

    Gobert registered 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Spurs.

    Gobert finished one board shy of what would've been his 12th double-double of the campaign. Gobert remains on pace for top-60 value in nine-category fantasy formats, posting averages of 10.6 points, 11.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 blocks.

  • Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Continues to struggle

    Reid chipped in three points (1-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 win over the Spurs.

    Reid has now been held to single-digit points in seven of his last 11 games. During that stretch, he's been outside the top 150 in nine-category formats, posting averages of 8.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers on 34.0 percent shooting from the field. With solid peripheral stats keeping him afloat, his fantasy managers will need to patiently wait for him to break out of his slump.

  • Timberwolves' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Plays well off bench

    Alexander-Walker ended Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Spurs with 17 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 24 minutes.

    This was a comfortable win for Minnesota, so Alexander-Walker was afforded a few extra minutes off the bench. His production has been very sporadic this season, making him hard to trust outside of deeper formats. Over his last six games, he's averaging 11.0 points, 2.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 22.2 minutes per game.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Double-doubles in victory

    McDaniels chipped in 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and four steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Spurs.

    McDaniels recorded a season-high 11 rebounds as he posted his first double-double of the campaign. He's having a strong December so far, posting averages of 10.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in his last six appearances.

  • Timberwolves' Joe Ingles: Remains out Sunday

    Ingles (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

    Ingles hasn't suited up since Nov. 1, when he logged five minutes off the bench in a 119-116 win over the Nuggets, due to a left soleus strain. His next chance to play will come against the Knicks on Thursday.

  • Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Handles minor role in return

    Dillingham (ankle) finished with six points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one assist and one steal in eight minutes off the bench in Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers.

    The rookie first-round pick had missed Minnesota's last four games with an ankle sprain. Though he took back a spot in the rotation from Josh Minott on Friday, Dillingham still carved out only a minor role, and his path to meaningful minutes will likely be blocked so long as the likes of Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards and Donte DiVincenzo are all healthy.

  • Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Scores 21 points vs. former team

    Randle logged 21 points (7-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers.

    Randle snapped a five-game stretch in which he couldn't surpass the 20-point mark, and he posted a solid stat line while ending as Minnesota's second-best scoring weapon behind Anthony Edwards. Randle had adjusted well to life in Minnesota following the offseason trade from New York, and he's averaging 20.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game through 24 starts.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Efficient in win over Lakers

    McDaniels had 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and five steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers.

    This was McDaniels' fourth time in which he surpassed the 15-point plateau this season, and it will go down as one of his most efficient performances on both ends of the court. Aside from missing just four shots from the field, he also ended one board away from a double-double while notching a season-high mark in steals. McDaniels has scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances, averaging 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game in that span.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Goes for 23 points Friday

    Edwards ended Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers with 23 points (9-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 33 minutes.

    Edwards led the way for the Timberwolves in scoring once again, and even though he exited the game briefly in the second half, that didn't prevent him from carrying Minnesota to a 10-point win in this low-scoring matchup. Edwards remains the Timberwolves' go-to option on offense. Even though he had a minor two-game stretch in which he struggled badly in early December, he's turned things around with three straight outings with at least 23 points. Edwards is averaging a career-high 26.3 points per game this season, and his 42.3 percent from three-point range is also a career-best figure for the five-year veteran.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Returns to action

    Edwards (ankle) has returned to Friday's game against the Lakers, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Edwards tweaked his ankle in the third quarter, but it wasn't a serious injury. Despite exiting the game briefly, the star guard returned to the hardwood in the fourth quarter.

  • Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Heads to locker room Friday

    Edwards tweaked his left ankle and went to the locker room during the second half of Friday's game against the Lakers, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

    Edwards appeared to have suffered an ankle injury and went straight to the locker room to get it checked out. If he doesn't return Friday, it'd be a massive blow for the Timberwolves. It'd also translate to more minutes for players such as Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Donte DiVincenzo.

  • Timberwolves' Joe Ingles: Ruled out Friday

    Ingles (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.

    Ingles is set to miss a 10th straight game due to a left soleus strain. His next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Sunday, but even if he's deemed ready to return, he shouldn't have a big role in the rotation.

  • Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Cleared for Friday vs. Lakers

    Dillingham (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Lakers.

    Dillingham is slated to make his return to action following a four-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The rookie has received inconsistent playing time throughout the season, and in his last five outings he has averaged 5.6 points, 1.8 assists and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 44.4 percent from the field across 12.4 minutes per contest.

  • Timberwolves' Rob Dillingham: Could return Friday

    Dillingham (ankle) could return to action Friday against the Lakers, Andrew Dukowitz of Zone Coverage reports.

    Dillingham has missed the past four games for Minnesota, but on top of doing some light drills at Wednesday's practice, he was also able to play in a 5-on-5 scrimmage. He's had a minor role this season, however, averaging 8.4 minutes across 11 appearances.
