Julius Randle Julius Randle (thumb) questionable vs. New Orleans
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 12:11 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Julius Randle (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Randle has been dealing with a sore left thumb for a few games, but the injury has not forced him to the sidelines. Look for the Timberwolves' forward to be available and taking on his usual responsibilities as Anthony Edwards' sidekick. |

Julian Phillips Julian Phillips headed to Minnesota via trade
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 4:18 AM
Shams Charania
Julian Phillips has been traded to the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Phillips entered the league as a defensive prospect, but that never led to consistent minutes in Chicago. He'll likely be in a similar situation in Minnesota as a depth piece, which won't lead to much production in the box score. This isn't a situation where Phillips will benefit from a change of scenery. |

Ayo Dosunmu Shams: Ayo Dosunmu traded to Minnesota
Thu, Feb 5, 2026, 4:02 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips have been traded to the Timberwolves in exchange for Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks.
Analysis: Dosunmu spent the first 4.5 seasons of his career in his hometown of Chicago after playing three seasons at Illinois, so this will be quite the fresh start for him. Minnesota has lacked a reliable point guard this season, and they just traded Mike Conley this week. Dosunmu may not start, but he should be one of the primary options off the bench and spend a ton of time on the floor as a lead ball handler. With Dillingham included in the deal, Bones Hyland and Jaylen Clark will be the other point guards in Minnesota. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle has 17/4/4 line in win over Raptors
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 4:21 PM
Julius Randle had 17 points (7-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: It's no secret that Randle is dealing with a sore left thumb on his shooting hand. Now he's shot below 40 percent from the field in three of his last four games. Maybe the two are unrelated, but his status is certainly worth monitoring going forward. The Timberwolves' next game is Friday against the Pelicans. |

Bones Hyland Bones Hyland has 20/7/3 line in win over Raptors
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 4:12 PM
Bones Hyland had 20 points (8-of-12 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Hyland was instrumental in Wednesday's win over the Raptors. The 25-year-old point guard was instant offense with 20 points on 12 field goal attempts and four three-pointers off the bench. Only Anthony Edwards had more points for the Timberwolves in the 128-126 victory. Hyland's scoring isn't consistent enough for him to have much fantasy value when Edwards is available. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards has 30 points in win over Raptors
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 4:03 PM
Anthony Edwards had 30 points (11-of-23 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in the Timberwolves' 128-126 victory over the Raptors on Wednesday.
Analysis: With the Timberwolves leading by two points with just over one minute remaining at the end of regulation, Edwards drove the lane on Raptors forward Brandon Ingram before hitting a turnaround jumper that gave his team a two-possession lead. The 24-year-old shooting guard was excellent in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves came back from down 10 points to win. Edwards has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. He'll have another chance for a big game Friday against the Pelicans. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle (thumb) available Wednesday
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 12:28 PM
Julius Randle (thumb) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Randle is still dealing with a sore left thumb, which happens to be on his shooting hand. The 31-year-old power forward appears ready to continue playing through the injury. Randle's had 27 and 19 points in his last two game since incurring the injury, so it isn't slowing him down very much, which is great news for fantasy managers. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (elbow) upgraded to available
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 12:25 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (elbow) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Edwards is set to play after initially being listed as questionable with a sore left elbow. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, and there may be more on-ball playmaking opportunities for Edwards since the Timberwolves traded Mike Conley on Tuesday. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle (thumb) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 11:07 AM
Julius Randle (thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Randle continues to deal with soreness in his left thumb, which is difficult to deal with for a left-handed shooter. The 31-year-old power forward was able to play through the injury Monday against the Grizzlies. If Randle is out Wednesday, Jaylen Clark could move into the starting lineup and Naz Reid would have a higher ceiling. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (elbow) questionable vs. Toronto
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 11:06 AM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards (elbow) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: While Edwards is back on the injury report, the good news is that it's because of a sore left elbow rather than the lingering right foot issue. With the Timberwolves trading Mike Conley on Tuesday, Bones Hyland would be the likely replacement in the lineup if Ant-Man can't play. |

Donte DiVincenzo DiVincenzo records 21/3/4/2 line with five triples
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 4:50 PM
Donte DiVincenzo finished with 21 points (7-of-9 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and five three-pointers on Monday against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: DiVincenzo's production has come inconsistently this season, but he's still capable of getting hot and pouring in the points. He shot over 70 percent for the first time this season while still contributing plenty of triples and steals. This was the 15th straight game that he hit at least two three-pointers, and he has swiped at least one steal in all but two of those games. January was a productive month for him, and he has started February off well. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels scores 29 points vs. Memphis
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 4:45 PM
Jaden McDaniels lit up the Grizzlies with 29 points (11-of-14 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and five three-pointers on Monday.
Analysis: McDaniels has been on a heater recently, which continued in this game. This was the third straight game that he scored at least 20 points, and he has averaged 23.3 points and 4.3 triples while shooting 69.2 percent from the floor during this stretch. He's enjoyed arguably the best season of his career thus far, but he has taken his scoring up a notch recently. He'll look to stay hot in Toronto on Wednesday. |

Anthony Edwards Edwards drops 39 points in loss to Grizzlies
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 4:40 PM
Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 39 points (13-of-27 FGs, 10-of-14 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one steal and three three-pointers in a 137-128 loss to the Grizzlies on Monday.
Analysis: It has been nearly two months since Edwards last scored less than 20 points in a game, and this was the second game in a row that he scored at least 30 points, with both games being played in Memphis. However, they ended up on the wrong side of the scoreboard in this one, which ended a four-game winning streak. He is having the best season of his career by averaging a career high for points while also having the best field goal and three-point percentage of his career. He'll look to stay hot in Toronto on Wednesday. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle (thumb) available vs. Memphis
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 12:16 PM
Timberwolves PR
Julius Randle (thumb) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Monday.
Analysis: Randle is managing sore in his thumb in his shooting hand, but it won't keep him out of the lineup against Memphis. He had 27 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in Saturday's game against them and will look to provide an encore in the second game of this mini series. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (back) available vs. Memphis
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 12:14 PM
Timberwolves PR
Anthony Edwards (back) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Monday.
Analysis: Edwards was listed as questionable with back spasms, but he'll be good to go against Memphis. He scored 33 points in Saturday's win over them and will look to repeat that type of performance in this rematch. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle (thumb) questionable vs. Memphis
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 12:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Julius Randle (thumb) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Randle is dealing with a sore left thumb, which is problematic since he's a left-handed shooter. He's yet to miss a game this season, but an absence could push Jaylen Clark into the starting lineup. No Randle would also raise Naz Reid's ceiling, even if he's used in his usual reserve role. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (back) questionable Monday
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 12:17 PM
Timberwolves PR
Anthony Edwards (back) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Edwards is dealing with back spasms. His status is up in the air for Monday's game against the Grizzlies. If he's ruled out, Mike Conley could start in his place, though Bones Hyland has been the better streaming option when Edwards has missed games before. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid sinks six triples, scores 20 points
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:43 PM
Naz Reid produced 20 points (7-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, three steals and six three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Reid, who's reached double figures in four straight and six of his last seven games, had one of his best all-around games of the month on Saturday. The six three-pointers were a new season-high, and he was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Over the past month, Reid has been a top-40 player in fantasy basketball according to Basketball Monster. If he's sitting on the waiver wire in a shallow league, don't hesitate to pick him up. |

Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert posts 16 rebounds, four âstocks'
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:43 PM
Rudy Gobert finished Saturday's win over the Grizzlies with nine points (4-of-8 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), 16 rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots.
Analysis: Rebounds and defensive stats are the areas where Gobert can be most valuable to fantasy managers, and that's how things played out on Saturday. He's hit double digits in rebounds and blocked at least two shots in three of his last four outings. For those willing to punt free-throw percentage, Gobert has been a top-25 fantasy player this season. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 16. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels tallies 20 points vs. Memphis
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 4:42 PM
Jaden McDaniels recorded 20 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, two assists and three three-pointers in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: For the first time since early November, McDaniels has recorded back-to-back 20-point games. He's also reached double figures in shot attempts in two straight games, and this level of aggression is what the Timberwolves need from McDaniels consistently. He got off to an excellent start to the season, but tailed off a bit after Christmas. Even if he doesn't do much scoring, McDaniels will provide solid fantasy value. However, he's a far different player when willing to look for his shot more often. |
