Jonathan Kuminga
Jonathan Kuminga records 16/8/5/1/1 stat line
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 5:46 PM
Jonathan Kuminga produced 16 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: Anthony Edwards' knee injury and subsequent surgery created more scoring opportunities for the entire Timberwolves rotation, but Kuminga's production has been inconsistent. Over the last five games, he's alternated between single- and double-digit scoring efforts. Given the trend, Kuminga was due for a solid performance on Wednesday, and he recorded a complete stat line. Fantasy managers will hope Kuminga can build on this night when the Timberwolves visit the Pelicans on Friday.
Bones Hyland
Bones Hyland hits four triples, scores 19 points
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 5:38 PM
Bones Hyland amassed 19 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: Of the five games the Timberwolves have played since Anthony Edwards underwent knee surgery, Hyland has scored in double figures in four. Against the Rockets, he shot over 50 percent from the field and dished out four assists. While Bones isn't worth considering in 12-team leagues, managers in deep leagues should add him to their watch lists.
Ayo Dosunmu
Ayo Dosunmu finishes with team-high 21 points
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 5:34 PM
Ayo Dosunmu recorded 21 points (10-of-20 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), one rebound, six assists and two steals in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: Since moving into the Timberwolves' starting lineup after Anthony Edwards underwent knee surgery, Dosunmu has scored at least 15 points in five straight games. One game removed from finishing two assists shy of a triple-double, Ayo finished Wednesday's victory with his second 20-point game of the season. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good night for those rostering Dosunmu.
LaMelo Ball
LaMelo Ball records 20 points vs. Houston
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 5:29 PM
LaMelo Ball tallied 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: After recording nearly as many turnovers (six) as points (eight) in the first three quarters of Wednesday's game, Ball rose to the occasion in the fourth. Shooting 4-of-4 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line, the Timberwolves point guard scored 12 points in the fourth quarter. With Anthony Edwards (knee) out, the Timberwolves need Ball to be consistently efficient, and he's been solid this week.
Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) ruled out vs. Houston
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 7:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Shannon will miss a second straight game with this hip injury. Jaylen Clark ended up taking on extra minutes as a reserve on Monday, which will likely happen again, though he isn't a player to consider streaming in.
Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 12:08 PM
NBA Injury Report
Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Shannon did not play in Monday's win over the Bucks, which moved Jaylen Clark up a spot in the Timberwolves' rotation. That may remain the case on Wednesday if Shannon can't play, but Clark shouldn't be rostered in redraft leagues.
Ayo Dosunmu
Ayo Dosunmu has 19/12/8/1/1 line in win Monday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:47 PM
Ayo Dosunmu had 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, eight assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer against the Bucks on Monday.
Analysis: While LaMelo Ball erupted for 34 points in this one, Dosunmu may be the real fantasy winner from Anthony Edwards (knee) having to miss time with an injury. Dosunmu had a full stat line and was two assists shy of a triple-double in the win over the Bucks. He should be rostered in all formats at this point.
LaMelo Ball
LaMelo Ball drops 34 points in win over Bucks
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:41 PM
LaMelo Ball had 34 points (12-of-21 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointers in the Timberwolves' 112-100 victory over the Bucks on Monday.
Analysis: Ball's 34 points are the most he's had in a game with the Timberwolves so far. With Anthony Edwards (knee) sidelined, the offensive burden undoubtedly falls on LaMelo. He's due for some more performances like this one while Edwards remains out.
LaMelo Ball
LaMelo Ball (wrist) upgraded to available Monday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 1:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
LaMelo Ball (wrist) is available for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Despite a right wrist contusion, Ball is available to play on Monday. He'll take on his usual role as the starting point guard, and the Timberwolves will need a more efficient Ball as they continue without Anthony Edwards (knee). He's joined in the starting lineup by Ayo Dosunmu, Jaden McDaniels, Jonathan Kuminga and Rudy Gobert. Gobert's return pushes Joan Beringer to the bench.
Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) downgraded to out Mon.
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 12:22 PM
Jon Krawczynski
Terrence Shannon Jr. (hip) is out for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Shannon won't play on Monday after initially being listed as questionable. His absence frees up minutes for Cody Williams, who was a DNP-CD on Saturday against the Spurs.
LaMelo Ball
LaMelo Ball, Terrence Shannon questionable Monday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 9:02 AM
NBA Injury Report
LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Terrence Shannon (hip) are questionable for Monday's matchup with the Bucks.
Analysis: With Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles) sidelined, the Wolves' backcourt could be thin on Monday. If Ball and/or Shannon sit out, more minutes would be available for Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu.
Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert (back) removed from injury report
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 12:03 PM
NBA Injury Report
Rudy Gobert (back) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Gobert is back after sitting out Saturday's loss to the Spurs. His return means Joan Beringer will head back to the bench after starting on Saturday.
Jonathan Kuminga
Jonathan Kuminga scores 19 points vs. Spurs
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 4:43 PM
Jonathan Kuminga accounted for 19 points (8-of-19 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: After attempting just six shots in Friday's win over the Clippers, Kuminga got up 19 on Saturday. His percentage wasn't great, but the shot volume should be there while the Timberwolves await Anthony Edwards' return from knee surgery. The same goes for Jaden McDaniels, who finished Saturday's defeat with 19 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals and two three-pointers.
Ayo Dosunmu
Ayo Dosunmu scores team-high 27 points vs. Spurs
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 4:42 PM
Ayo Dosunmu recorded 27 points (11-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, three steals and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Since moving into the Timberwolves' starting lineup after Anthony Edwards' knee injury, Dosunmu's scoring output has increased with each game. His 27 points on Saturday were a season high, and he was highly efficient. Add in the rebounds and steals, and this was a good night for managers rostering Dosunmu. The Timberwolves play four games next week, starting with the Bucks on Monday.
Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert (back) downgraded to out Saturday
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 12:17 PM
NBA Injury Report
Rudy Gobert (back) is out for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Gobert will not play due to lower back spasms. His absence opens the door for Joan Beringer to start, and the second-year center is worth streaming.
Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert (back) questionable Saturday vs. Spurs
Sat, Oct 31, 2026, 8:15 AM
Rudy Gobert (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Gobert is questionable with low back spasms. Joan Beringer had 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks against the Cavaliers earlier this week and would likely start if Gobert is ruled out.
Bones Hyland
Bones Hyland chips in with 19 off the bench
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:14 PM
Bones Hyland recorded 19 points (8-of-16 FGs), eight assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: Six Timberwolves finished Friday's rout in double figures, with Hyland putting up a season-high point total. Over the last two games, which Minnesota has played without Anthony Edwards (knee), Bones has scored 32 points, shooting12-of-23 from the field. Ayo Dosunmu (15 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers) is the safer streaming option with Edwards out, as he's now starting. But managers should keep an eye on Hyland if they missed out on Dosunmu.
Jaden McDaniels
Jaden McDaniels drops an efficient 23 points
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:11 PM
Jaden McDaniels amassed 23 points (11-of-15 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Clippers.
Analysis: In the two games Minnesota has played since losing Anthony Edwards (knee), McDaniels has shot 19-of-33 from the field. The Timberwolves will be without their star for a while, so they'll need more production from McDaniels. For some players, the opportunity could negatively impact their efficiency, but that wasn't the case for McDaniels against the Clippers.
LaMelo Ball
LaMelo Ball scores team-high 24 points vs. LAC
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:08 PM
LaMelo Ball finished Friday's win over the Clippers with 24 points (9-of-20 FGs), four rebounds, seven assists, two steals and six three-pointers.
Analysis: After attempting 11 shots and scoring eight points in Wednesday's loss to the Warriors, the first game Minnesota played after losing Anthony Edwards to knee surgery, Ball wasn't shy about getting up shots on Friday. He shot 6-of-15 from beyond the arc and led the Timberwolves in scoring while also recording seven assists. Just as encouraging was his committing two turnovers after racking up six on Wednesday. Ball and the Timberwolves play one more game this week, as they visit the Spurs on Saturday.
Jaden McDaniels
Jaden McDaniels with 19/8 without Anthony Edwards
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 5:18 PM
Jaden McDaniels with 19 points (8-of-18 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, and a three in 35 minutes against the Warriors.
Analysis: There has been hope that McDaniels can grow his offensive game and he will have an opportunity to do so with Anthony Edwards out for at least two months. If he hit a couple more threes instead of going 1/8 from 3, this stat line would've looked even better than it already does. These next two months will be critical for Jaden's development.
