Timberwolves' Joe Ingles: Starting against Magic
Ingles will start in Wednesday's game against Orlando.
Ingles will make his first start of the 2025-26 campaign. The 38-year-old hasn't been very productive this season, averaging 0.8 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.3 steals across 4.1 minutes. However, with Minnesota down Anthony Edwards (knee), Rudy Gobert (rest), Julius Randle (hand) and Ayo Dosunmu (calf), Ingles should be more productive in all statistical categories.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Moving to starting role
Anderson is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
The Timberwolves will rest the majority of their starters for this game against Orlando, meaning Anderson will be in line for an expanded role in the frontcourt. Anderson is averaging 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game in his previous three starts this season.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Starting versus Orlando
Reid will start in Wednesday's game against Orlando.
With Julius Randle (hand) and Rudy Gobert (rest) unavailable, Reid will make his first start since the 126-123 loss to San Antonio on Jan. 17. In two starts this season, the 26-year-old has averaged 9.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 16.5 minutes.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Available Wednesday
McDaniels (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
McDaniels will shed his questionable tag and return from a six-game absence due to a left knee issue. However, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 25-year-old forward operate on a minutes restriction during his return.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Ruled out Wednesday
Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
The veteran center will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, joining Anthony Edwards (knee), Julius Randle (hand), Ayo Dosunmu (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) on the inactive list. With Gobert out, Naz Reid should take on an expanded role, while Joan Beringer will likely see a significant bump in minutes.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Won't play vs. Orlando
Randle is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic due to right hand soreness.
Randle is one of several players who will miss the Timberwolves' second leg of this back-to-back set, as Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Anthony Edwards (knee) and Mike Conley (rest) are also out. With Randle sidelined, expect Kyle Anderson and Naz Reid to see more minutes in Minnesota's frontcourt. Randle's next chance to return will come against the Rockets on Friday.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Won't play Wednesday
Edwards (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Edwards missed the first leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday, and he won't suit up Wednesday either, giving him three straight games on the sidelines. The Timberwolves are being extremely cautious with the star guard, and it seems the goal is to have him as healthy as possible for the upcoming playoffs. With Edwards, Ayo Dosunmu (rest), Julius Randle (hand) and Mike Conley (rest) all out, Bones Hyland could see an expanded role in the backcourt after scoring 19 points in Tuesday's win over the Pacers.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Will sit out Wednesday
Conley (rest) is out Wednesday against the Magic.
Conley will take the night off for the second leg of this back-to-back set. With this news, Bones Hyland could step into a featured role in the backcourt with so many players getting the night off for Minnesota.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Will sit out Wednesday
Dosunmu (rest) is out Wednesday against the Magic.
Dosunmu will miss the second leg of this back-to-back set due to right calf injury maintenance. Presumably, he'll be back for Friday's game against Houston. Jaden McDaniels (knee) is questionable to make his return from a six-game absence Wednesday, so if cleared to play, he'd soak up most of Dosunmu's minutes.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: May be rested
Gobert (rest) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
After logging 33 minutes Tuesday against the Pacers for the front end of this back-to-back set, a maintenance day is on the table for Gobert. If he does end up sitting out, Naz Reid and Joan Beringer are likely to see increased minutes in the frontcourt.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Questionable for Wednesday
McDaniels (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
McDaniels, who has missed the past six games for Minnesota, has been cleared for full contact, 5-on-5 basketball activities. He has a chance to return Wednesday, but he will likely face restrictions if he's given the green light to suit up.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Thrives as scorer and playmaker
Hyland provided 19 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 victory over the Pacers.
Hyland was sharp with his shot and looked excellent as a playmaker, ending just three assists away from what would've been his first double-double of the season. Hyland has logged over 20 minutes in all but one of his last 11 appearances off the bench and is making the most with that playing time, averaging 15.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.1 steals per game over that stretch.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Productive outing vs. Indiana
Reid supplied 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 victory over the Pacers.
Reid has been putting up solid numbers off the bench, and he remains a viable fantasy alternative despite his second-unit role in the Timberwolves' frontcourt. Since returning from a two-game absence due to a sprained right ankle March 22, Reid is averaging 12.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers made across 26.8 minutes per game. Those numbers aren't close to the prime of his career, but he remains a solid, reliable option to start in most formats.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Poor shooting effort Tuesday
DiVincenzo totaled 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 victory over the Pacers.
DiVincenzo left his mark in this comfortable win over the Pacers, but he had a rough shooting performance. The veteran guard has been trending in the wrong direction despite having a starting role all but secured in the Timberwolves' backcourt. He has failed to clear the 15-point plateau in five straight games, a stretch in which he's averaging 9.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game while shooting just 32.6 percent from three-point range.

Timberwolves' Ayo Dosunmu: Drops 24 points in win
Dosunmu contributed 24 points (10-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three steals and one assist across 33 minutes in Tuesday's 124-104 win over the Pacers.
Dosunmu struggled from three-point range but was efficient from inside the arc, and he finished as the only player to score at least 20 points. The 26-year-old guard was also one of three Minnesota players to log at least three steals and has tallied multiple swipes in three of his last five outings. He has reached the 15-point threshold in seven of his nine appearances since entering the starting lineup March 17, and he's likely to continue seeing an expanded role until Jaden McDaniels (knee) returns.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Won't play Tuesday
McDaniels (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana.
McDaniels will miss a sixth consecutive contest due to left knee patella tendinopathy and a bone bruise. He was deemed week-to-week in late March and should be considered doubtful for future contests until Minnesota offers an update on his progress. Ayo Dosunmu is expected to continue operating in an expanded role for as long as McDaniels is sidelined.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Ruled out for Tuesday
Edwards (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Indiana.
Edwards will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to right knee injury maintenance, marking his second straight game on the inactive list. Mike Conley, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark are candidates to see an uptick in minutes in Edwards' stead. His next chance to play will come Wednesday in Orlando.
