Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle out Wednesday vs. ORL
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 9:54 AM
NBA Injury Report
Rudy Gobert (rest) and Julius Randle (hand) are out for Wednesday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis: With both of Minnesota's big men sitting this one out, Naz Reid should be in line for a featured role against Orlando. Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer should see additional run, too. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu, Mike Conley out Wednesday vs. ORL
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 8:44 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) and Mike Conley (rest) are out for Wednesday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis: The Timberwolves are waiving the white flag against Orlando, and most of the regular starters are expected to be sidelined. Bones Hyland should see a major bump in usage and playing time tonight with both Dosunmu and Conley out of action. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels (knee) questionable Wednesday
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 8:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaden McDaniels (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Magic.
Analysis: McDaniels has missed six straight games, but he's got a chance to return to Minnesota's lineup to face Orlando. Minnesota is resting a number of starters in this one, so McDaniels may end up getting the night off as the team essentially punts. |

Bones Hyland Bones Hyland hits four triples, scores 19 points
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 3:31 PM
Bones Hyland accumulated 19 points (5-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, seven assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Hyland continues to offer solid offensive production off the bench as the Timberwolves continue to play without Anthony Edwards. Over his last three games, the 6-foot-2 guard has totaled 58 points. In addition to his 19 points, Hyland dished out a team-high seven assists in Tuesday's victory. With the Timberwolves having three more games in Week 24, Bones is worth adding in active fantasy leagues. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle plays 28 minutes in blowout victory
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 3:31 PM
Julius Randle finished Tuesday's win over the Pacers with 19 points (5-of-13 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers.
Analysis: Having played 31 minutes or more in six consecutive games, Randle did not have to play as much on Tuesday. The veteran forward played 28 minutes against the Pacers, finishing with a modest stat line. The only Timberwolves' starter to play less was Mike Conley (8/2/3/3 with two three-pointers), who logged 21 minutes as he continues to fill in for the injured Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves have three more games to play this week, starting with the Magic on Wednesday. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu scores game-high 24 points vs. Indiana
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 3:30 PM
Ayo Dosunmu accounted for 24 points (10-of-17 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, three steals and one three-pointer in Tuesday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Dosunmu recorded his first 20-point game since March 18 on Tuesday, with the 24 points being the most for him since being traded to the Timberwolves. All that his final line lacked was a blocked shot, and the Timberwolves' wing continues to help compensate for Anthony Edwards' absence. With a win over the Magic on Wednesday, the Timberwolves would be guaranteed a top-6 seed in the Western Conference playoffs, avoiding the Play-In Tournament. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee) remains out vs. Indiana
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 11:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (knee) has been ruled out against the Pacers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Edwards will remain out for a second straight game, which means Mike Conley should get another start in his place. However, Bones Hyland played a larger role off the bench and was far more productive than Conley was. Hyland should be the preferred streaming option. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle has 26/8/4 line in loss to Hornets
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 4:09 PM
Julius Randle had 26 points (9-of-16 FGs, 7-of-9 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Randle has now scored at least 21 points in five of his last six games. The problem in Sunday's game was that Anthony Edwards was out and Randle was one of just two Timberwolves with at least 15 points. The 31-year-old power forward also had five turnovers and was -17 in the 14-point loss. The Timberwolves have four games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday. |

Mike Conley MIN starts Conley, Ayo, DiVincenzo, Randle, Gobert
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 12:37 PM
NBA Lineups
Mike Conley, Ayo Dosunmu, Donte DiVincenzo, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert will start Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: The Timberwolves won't have Anthony Edwards (knee) for Sunday's game, so Conley returns to the starting lineup. However, Bones Hyland offers a higher fantasy ceiling with Edwards unavailable. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee) downgraded to out vs. CHA
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 7:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Edwards has now missed eight of Minnesota's last ten games, which is a major concern for the Timberwolves heading into the postseason. Mike Conley is the likely replacement in the starting lineup, but Bones Hyland offers a higher streaming ceiling when Edwards sits. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee) questionable vs. Charlotte
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 6:24 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Edwards struggled in Friday's loss to the 76ers, shooting 3-of-15 from the field. If he's unable to play, Mike Conley would start, but this does more for the fantasy values of Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle scores 21 points vs. Philadelphia
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:38 PM
Julius Randle tallied 21 points (9-of-15 FGs, 2-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Friday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Randle was the lone Timberwolves starter to shoot 50 percent or better from the field on Friday. And after struggling for a significant portion of March, he appears to be rounding into form. Randle has scored at least 21 points in four of his last five appearances, and he's made at least 60 percent of his shot attempts in each of his last three. That has been a positive development for fantasy managers, who will get one more game out of Randle in Week 23 on Sunday against the Hornets. |

Bones Hyland Bones Hyland hits five threes, scores 21 points
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:37 PM
Bones Hyland accounted for 21 points (7-of-14 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Friday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: In the four games he played after scoring 23 points in a March 22 win over the Celtics, Hyland totaled 32 points on 13-of-43 shooting from the field. Even though it occurred in a loss, Bones needed a night like Friday to get untracked. With Anthony Edwards still banged up and Jaden McDaniels (knee) week-to-week, Hyland's offensive contributions have added importance as the Timberwolves fight for seeding in the Western Conference standings. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (illness) struggles in return
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 3:37 PM
Anthony Edwards (illness) finished Friday's loss to the 76ers with eight points (3-of-15 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, two steals and one blocked shot.
Analysis: Back in the Timberwolves' lineup after a one-game absence, Edwards had a brutal night shooting the basketball. He missed all seven of his three-point attempts while shooting less than 40 percent from two. Give the 76ers credit for their work defensively, but this was a subpar performance from Edwards. He'll look to bounce back on Sunday when the Timberwolves host the Hornets. |

Anthony Edwards Ant, Ayo, Donte, Julius, Rudy to start Fri. vs PHI
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 12:48 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo, Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle and Ayo Dosunmu will start against the 76ers on Friday.
Analysis: Edwards (knee, illness) is back and will start for the Wolves following a one-game absence. The superstar guard will step in as Minnesota's clear-cut best fantasy option, though Dosunmu, Gobert, and Randle all provide different levels of value. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) upgraded to active
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 11:29 AM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) is available for Friday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Edwards is back after sitting out Thursday's loss to the Pistons. His return will push Mike Conley to the bench, eliminating what little streaming value the veteran point guard possesses. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) questionable Fri
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 8:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the 76ers.
Analysis: Edwards returned from a six-game absence on Monday but was forced to sit out Thursday's matchup with the Pistons. He's got a chance to return on the second leg of Minnesota's back-to-back set, but if Edwards is sidelined again, Mike Conley, Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland would all benefit from a fantasy standpoint. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu records 19 points, five rebounds
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 4:35 PM
Ayo Dosunmu tallied 19 points (7-of-15 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Dosunmu continues to provide solid value as a starter, having scored 17 points or more in each of his last seven appearances. Thursday's stat line was complete, and the Timberwolves' guard has been responsible for at least three combined steals and blocks in three straight and four of his last five appearances. As long as he's healthy and Jaden McDaniels (knee) remains out, Dosunmu is close to a must-roster player in 12-team leagues for the remainder of Week 23. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid hits four triples, scores 19 points
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 4:05 PM
Naz Reid accounted for 19 points (6-of-16 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and four three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Having scored 20 points on 8-of-29 shooting in his prior two appearances, Reid needed to clean up some things on Thursday. He once again shot below 50 percent from the field, but the Timberwolves' reserve was a respectable 4-of-9 from three. Add in the rebounds, assists and blocks, and this was a solid effort overall from Reid. Minnesota plays two more games in Week 23, starting with the 76ers on Friday. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle scores game-high 27 points vs. DET
Thu, Apr 2, 2026, 4:04 PM
Julius Randle amassed 27 points (9-of-15 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Give Randle credit for stepping up with Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) ruled out. The 27 points were the most he's had in a game since dropping 32 in a March 17 win over the Suns, and the veteran forward scored efficiently in Detroit. That's a far cry from Randle's performance in Minnesota's March 28 loss to the Pistons, when he scored 11 points on 2-of-13 shooting from the field. He'll look to build on Thursday's effort in the Timberwolves' final two games of Week 23. |
