Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards hits four triples, scores 14 pts
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:14 PM
Anthony Edwards finished Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers with 14 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Due to an illness, Edwards was initially questionable for Wednesday's game. That may have factored into his attempting just ten shots, but he still made half of them. That included a 4-of-6 night from beyond the arc and a complete stat line. So, all wasn't lost for those who had Edwards on their fantasy rosters. After the All-Star break, the Timberwolves play two more games to conclude Week 17. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels records 21/6/6/2/2 line vs. POR
Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:13 PM
Jaden McDaniels amassed 21 points (7-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), six rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: After totaling eight points in the Timberwolves' final two games of Week 16, losses to the Pelicans and Clippers, McDaniels has gotten back on track. He's totaled 39 points in Minnesota's first two games of Week 17, recording complete stat lines in both. And McDaniels has been a menace defensively, totaling three steals and six blocked shots. Despite providing top-75 fantasy value, he's still rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which may be a bit low. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 5:13 PM
Julius Randle accumulated 41 points (14-of-24 FGs, 10-of-11 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: One game removed from dropping his third triple-double of the season, Randle exploded for a season-high 41 points. The Timberwolves forward was at his best in the fourth quarter, scoring 23 points before being subbed out. That's an impressive way for Randle to go into the All-Star break, after which the Timberwolves will play two more games to complete Week 17. |

Ayo Dosunmu Dosunmu contributes 21 points off bench vs. Hawks
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:17 PM
Ayo Dosunmu provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (9-of-13 FGs), one rebound, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers on Monday against the Hawks.
Analysis: Dosunmu scored 11 points in his debut for Minnesota on Sunday, and 24 hours after, he was able to showcase why he'll make a big difference for the Timberwolves this season. He's an excellent depth guard, especially on the defensive end, but it was the offensive impact in this game that was impressive. Dosunmu should be the primary guard option off the bench, which should lead to some decent production for fantasy managers, though his upside will be capped as a reserve. |

Julius Randle Randle tallies triple-double in win over Atlanta
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:07 PM
Julius Randle recorded a triple-double on Monday with 18 points (8-of-14 FGs), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Hawks.
Analysis: For the third time this season, and the first time since early November, Randle was able to record a triple-double. Minnesota is now 3-0 in those games. Randle has been fantastic all season, though he has had a few subpar performances recently. That didn't hold true in this one, and he even contributed on the defensive end by snapping a four-game streak without a steal. Randle will look to carry this into Wednesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers. |

Anthony Edwards Edwards puts up 30/6/2/2/1 line with four triples
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 6:01 PM
Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 30 points (11-of-21 FGs), six rebounds, six assists, two steals, one block and four three-pointers in a 138-116 win over the Hawks on Monday.
Analysis: After being held to 23 points in Minnesota's last game, Edwards was able to get back on track by scoring 30 points for the fifth time in his last six games. He has enjoyed the best scoring season of his career. It isn't often that teams are able to slow him down, and it certainly doesn't happen in two consecutive games. They'll host Portland on Wednesday in what will be their final game before the All-Star break; Edwards scored 41 points the last time they played the Trail Blazers, which was in the season opener. |

Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:01 PM

Analysis: Reid and Hawks forward Mouhamed Gueye got into an altercation early in the fourth quarter, as the latter pushed the former to set things off. Both players were ejected for their actions. Reid finished with seven points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one blocked shot in 21 minutes. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu scores 11 points in Timberwolves debut
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:48 AM
Ayo Dosunmu amassed 11 points (4-of-11 FGs), one rebound, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: As expected, Dosunmu was part of the Timberwolves' bench rotation in his first appearance on Sunday. And his 25 minutes led the Timberwolves reserves, one more than Naz Reid. Things could change somewhat once the Timberwolves re-sign Mike Conley, but Ayo should not struggle for playing time. Unfortunately, not much has changed regarding his fantasy value. While Dosunmu is worth rostering in 14-team leagues, his value in 12-team leagues is low unless his team is shorthanded on the perimeter. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle records 17 points, eight rebounds
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:47 AM
Julius Randle accounted for 17 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Sunday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Even with his modest output on Sunday, Randle continues to provide fantasy managers with excellent value. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, slightly lower than his season-long production. Randle will look to get his Week 17 off to a good start on Monday against the Hawks, the first of four games the Timberwolves will play. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards leads Timberwolves with 23 points
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 11:47 AM
Anthony Edwards finished Sunday's loss to the Clippers with 23 points (7-of-18 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Edwards and the Timberwolves were unable to bounce back from Friday's disappointing loss to the Pelicans, as Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers grabbed control early and never let go. Ant-Man's final stat line was decent, but not at the level that many fantasy managers expect of him. His streak of games with at least 30 points ended at four, and Edwards will look to start a new one on Monday against the Hawks. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 17, two on each side of the All-Star break. |

Julian Phillips Julian Phillips (wrist) upgraded to available
Sun, Feb 8, 2026, 7:49 AM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Julian Phillips (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Phillips is good to go for his Timberwolves' debut. However, he offered little fantasy value in Chicago, and that's unlikely to change in Minnesota, at least in the short term. |

Julian Phillips Julian Phillips (wrist) questionable vs. Clippers
Sat, Feb 7, 2026, 12:11 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Julian Phillips (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Phillips suffered a sprained right wrist before he was traded from Chicago to Minnesota. Due to the injury, his Timberwolves debut may be delayed a bit longer. Phillips did not play consistent rotation minutes in Chicago, and it's unknown how he fits into Minnesota's rotation. Leave him on the waiver wire. |

Bones Hyland Bones Hyland contributes 20 points vs. NOR
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 5:33 PM
Bones Hyland tallied 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: While the Timberwolves await the expected return of Mike Conley and Ayo Dosunmu's debut, Hyland has held down the fort as the first guard off the bench. For the first time this season, he's recorded back-to-back 20-point games, doing so efficiently. In games against the Raptors and Pelicans, Hyland totaled 40 points on 14-of-23 shooting from the field. While he isn't a must-stream player, Bones has a higher short-term ceiling because of Minnesota's lack of perimeter depth. |

Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert records 12 points, 16 rebounds
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 5:32 PM
Rudy Gobert recorded 12 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 16 rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks in Friday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: Gobert has hit double figures in rebounds in five consecutive games, with Friday's effort being accompanied by five âstocks.â Even with the rebounds and defensive production, the 7-foot-1 center continues to hover just inside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. However, for those willing to punt free-throw percentage, Gobert has been among the best post players to have rostered in that particular build. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle posts 24/8/7 line vs. New Orleans
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 5:32 PM
Julius Randle accounted for 24 points (9-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, seven assists and one block in Friday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: While he shot the ball well overall, Randle missed all five of his three-point attempts. The good news for fantasy managers is that he hit a high percentage from inside the arc and provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, Randle has been a top-50 player, which aligns with his season-long value. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards goes for game-high 35 points
Fri, Feb 6, 2026, 5:31 PM
Anthony Edwards finished Friday's loss to the Pelicans with 35 points (11-of-22 FGs, 8-of-9 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Make it four consecutive games with at least 30 points for Edwards, who led all scorers with 35 in Friday's defeat. As has been the case on multiple occasions this season, the Timberwolves' offense grew stagnant in crunch time, and that was costly. Over the past two weeks, Edwards has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats, enhancing his season-long value. The Timberwolves end Week 16 on Sunday against the Clippers. |

Analysis: Randle is good to go after initially being questionable for Friday's game. He'll occupy his usual place in the Timberwolves' starting lineup. |
