Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 10:09 AM
Timberwolves PR
According to the Timberwolves PR official X.com account, Jaden McDaniels (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Minnesota's depth will be challenged on Saturday, and McDaniels' absence should free up more opportunities for Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards out, Ayo Dosunmu questionable
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 10:02 AM
Timberwolves PR
Anthony Edwards (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup with the Pistons, and Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is questionable.
Analysis: Ant-Man will remain on the sideline as his extended absence continues. Dosunmu has a chance to return following a one-game absence, but if he's ruled out, Minnesota's backcourt depth will be thin. Mike Conley could see boosted playing time, but Bones Hyland would be the biggest beneficiary from a fantasy standpoint. |

Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert posts 14/14 double-double Wednesday
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 7:00 PM
Rudy Gobert amassed 14 points (7-of-13 FGs), 14 rebounds, one assist, one steal and five blocks in the win over the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gobert was impressive on Wednesday in his 28 minutes. He was incredibly impactful on the defensive end, posting a handful of blocked shots, and finished well on the offensive end when given opportunities. The four-time Defensive Player of the Year's night was cut short after fouling out of the contest late in the fourth quarter. Still, he concluded with his third double-double over his past three appearances and is trending in the right direction during the fantasy basketball playoffs. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels drops 25 points in win vs. Houston
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 6:50 PM
Jaden McDaniels tallied 25 points (10-of-17 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in the win over the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: McDaniels showcased his versatility on both ends of the floor against the Rockets. He guarded well and collected stocks while taking advantage of his scoring opportunities. Unfortunately, McDaniels appeared to get injured late in the fourth quarter while defending Kevin Durant. He eventually made his way to the bench before the end of regulation and, despite not being ruled out, never returned. His status ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Pistons will be worth monitoring. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle scores 24, hits game-winner vs. HOU
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 6:41 PM
Julius Randle added 24 points (11-of-27 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in the win over the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Randle struggled with his shot on Wednesday, but came up big for the Timberwolves down the stretch of overtime. He either scored or assisted on the Wolves' final seven points, which included a tough go-ahead mid-range jumper to give Minnesota a two-point lead with under 10.0 seconds remaining. The win was a big one for the Timberwolves from a seeding standpoint; with the victory, they move to fifth place in the Western Conference standings and are now one game up in the loss column over the sixth-seeded Rockets. Randle will have a chance to help the Wolves to a third straight win on Saturday when they face the Pistons. |

Mike Conley Mike Conley to make start Wednesday vs. Houston
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 2:53 PM
Chris Hine
Mike Conley, Donte DiVincenzo, Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert to start Wednesday vs. the Rockets.
Analysis: Conley is set to make his 10th start of the season when Minnesota attempts to collect another quality win on Wednesday. Conley's insertion into the starting lineup is likely a result of Ayo Dosunmu's unavailability due to a calf injury. Conley had been a mainstay in Minnesota's starting unit in past seasons, but had fallen out of the rotation recently. The veteran point guard will have a chance to produce on Wednesday and perhaps make a case for a larger role going forward. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (calf) downgraded to out vs. Houston
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 1:12 PM
Dan Moore
Auo Dosunmu (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Dosunmu's calf injury leaves the Timberwolves down another key rotation option, as he was filling in for the injured Anthony Edwards. Bones Hyland, whose opportunities and production have increased with Ant-Man out, is the best option for fantasy managers, whether he starts or continues to come off the bench. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (calf) questionable vs. Houston
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 12:17 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is questionable to play against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Dosunmu has been starting in place of Anthony Edwards, but there is a chance he is unavailable against Houston. In that scenario, Bones Hyland, who has also stepped up with Edwards out, will likely fill the void in the starting lineup. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu records 17/8/6/1/2 line vs. Boston
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 4:41 PM
Ayo Dosunmu finished Sunday's win over the Celtics with 17 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers.
Analysis: Dosunmu continues to produce with Anthony Edwards (knee) out of the lineup, having scored at least 17 points in four straight games. Over the past two weeks, he has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. The only reason why fantasy managers should not entertain adding Dosunmu is the upcoming schedule, as the Timberwolves play two games in Week 22. However, if Edwards remains out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Dosunmu would be a worthwhile pickup. |

Bones Hyland Bones Hyland drops team-high 23 points vs. Boston
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 4:41 PM
Bones Hyland accounted for 23 points (8-of-13 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: Since the Timberwolves had to shut down Anthony Edwards (knee) for a couple of weeks, Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu have upped their offensive production. Bones scored a team-high 23 points in Boston, and he's scored at least 17 in each of the last four games. His final line on Sunday only lacked a blocked shot, but fantasy managers will be more focused on Hyland's efficiency and offensive production. The lone negative heading into Week 22 is the schedule, as the Timberwolves play two games. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels scores 19 points vs. Boston
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 4:40 PM
Jaden McDaniels tallied 19 points (8-of-18 FGs), five rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Celtics.
Analysis: The Timberwolves rebounded from a slow start to pick up their first season sweep of the Celtics since the 1999-2000 season. McDaniels was one of the offensive leaders, helping pick up the slack on a night when Julius Randle (9/10/4/2 with one three-pointer) shot 3-of-14 from the field. McDaniels has scored at least 16 points in four straight games. While that may not seem like much, he has been more assertive on offense since the Timberwolves lost Anthony Edwards (knee); they'll need him to remain aggressive when Ant-Man returns. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid (ankle) upgraded to available vs. Boston
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 1:06 PM
NBA Injury Report
Naz Reid (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Reid is back after missing the Timberwolves' last two games with a sprained right ankle. His return is likely to result in fewer minutes for Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr., eliminating both players' streaming value. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid (ankle) questionable Sunday vs. Celtics
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 9:04 AM
Naz Reid (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Reid has missed the last two games with a right ankle sprain. The 26-year-old center is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics, which is the Sunday Night Basketball game on NBC and Peacock. If Reid is ruled out again, Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr. could see more playing time. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu posts 17/10/8 line vs. Portland
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 5:20 PM
Ayo Dosunmu amassed 17 points (6-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, eight assists and three three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Once again starting for Anthony Edwards, Dosunmu finished Friday's defeat two assists shy of a triple-double. Rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. With the Timberwolves visiting the Celtics on Sunday, there's one more opportunity for fantasy managers to get value out of Dosunmu during Week 21. |

Bones Hyland Bones Hyland records three triples, two steals
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 5:19 PM
Bones Hyland produced 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), two steals and three three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Hyland may not have moved into the starting lineup following Anthony Edwards' knee injury, but there have been more opportunities for him to shine off the bench. He's scored 17 points or more in all three games that Edwards has missed, making Bones a worthwhile streamer for managers competing in points leagues. |

Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert drops 18/15/1/2/1 line vs. Portland
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 5:18 PM
Rudy Gobert accumulated 18 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), 15 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one blocked shot in Friday's loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Gobert has recorded a double-double in back-to-back games for the first time in nearly a month, good news for those rostering the 7-foot-1 center. While Anthony Edwards' absence did not result in a significant increase in shot attempts for Gobert on Tuesday against the Suns, he's put up a total of 26 shots in the last two. And given where most of his shots are taken, that's an excellent development for Gobert and fantasy managers. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid (ankle) downgraded to out vs. Portland
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 12:58 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Naz Reid (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Reid will miss a second consecutive game with a sprained right ankle. His continued absence means more playing time for Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr. The latter is worth a look for managers seeking assists, as Anderson racked up six in Wednesday's win over the Jazz. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid (ankle) questionable vs. Portland
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 11:43 AM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Naz Reid (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Reid did not play in Wednesday's win over the Jazz after spraining his right ankle the night prior. Kyle Anderson and Terrence Shannon Jr. saw their minutes increase in his absence, with the former recording six assists and the latter three steals. Neither is a must-stream player if Reid remains out. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu posts 23/9/6/3 stat line vs. Utah
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:41 PM
Ayo Dosunmu finished Wednesday's win over the Jazz with 23 points (7-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, three steals and three three-pointers.
Analysis: After a solid showing in his first start for the injured Anthony Edwards on Tuesday, Dosunmu was even better in Wednesday's win over the Jazz. He totaled 42 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists and three steals in wins over Phoenix and Utah, and he qualifies as a must-add player with Minnesota playing two more games in Week 21. Also worth a look, especially in deeper leagues, is Bones Hyland, who chipped in with 18 points, three rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers on Wednesday. |

Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert records 21 points, 12 rebounds
Wed, Mar 18, 2026, 5:40 PM
Julius Randle accounted for 21 points (9-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, one steal and two blocks in Wednesday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: While Gobert's offensive production did not receive much of a boost in the first game the Timberwolves played after losing Anthony Edwards (knee), but he did grab 19 rebounds. In the second game on Wednesday, he provided excellent value as a scorer and rebounder against the lottery-bound Jazz. The Timberwolves have two more games in Week 21, starting with the Trail Blazers on Friday. |
