Kyle Anderson Kyle Anderson posts 17 points, nine assists
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 6:17 PM
Kyle Anderson notched 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists and two steals in Friday's win over the Rockets.
Analysis: After recording a modest stat line in Wednesday's loss to the Magic, Anderson was considerably better against the Rockets on Friday. SloMo finished one assist shy of a triple-double while shooting over 50 percent from the field. And in 32 minutes, Anderson did not commit a turnover. His value in active fantasy leagues for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Pelicans depends on the availability of Julius Randle. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards scores 22 points vs. Houston
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 6:16 PM
Anthony Edwards finished Friday's win over the Rockets with 22 points (7-of-14 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers.
Analysis: While Edwards has played in three games since his initial return from a right knee injury, Friday's contest was the first in which he looked like his usual self. The Timberwolves' star shot 50 percent from the field overall and 3-of-7 from beyond the arc. Edwards played 27 minutes against the Rockets; with Minnesota locked into the No. 6 seed, there's no reason for the Timberwolves to push their key players too far in the final two games of the regular season. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee) available vs. Houston
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 2:24 PM
Timberwolves PR
Anthony Edwards (knee) is available to play against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: Edwards will be back following a three-game absence and having missed 10 of Minnesota's last 12 games. The Timberwolves are locked in as the sixth seed in the West, so Edwards may have his minutes managed in this game. His return may push Ayo Dosunmu to the bench, though with Julius Randle out, they may start Dosunmu in a smaller starting unit. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (calf) available vs. Houston
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:17 PM
Timberwolves PR
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is available to play against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: Dosunmu will be back following a one-game absence, and Minnesota will be without multiple starters and key rotation pieces for this game. Dosunmu may continue to start, but even if he doesn't, he should play plenty of minutes in this game. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid (shoulder) ruled out vs. Houston
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:14 PM
Timberwolves PR
Naz Reid (shoulder) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: Reid will be unavailable for this game, and with Rudy Gobert (rest) also sidelined, Minnesota will likely turn to Joan Beringer to start at center. This would be the second start of the rookie's career, and they should give him plenty of minutes with the Timberwolves already locked into the sixth seed. |

Bones Hyland Bones Hyland (hip) out Friday vs. Rockets
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 9:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bones Hyland (hip) is out for Friday's matchup with the Rockets.
Analysis: Hyland's absence should mean more run for Ayo Dosunmu, especially if Anthony Edwards is ruled out again. |
|
Julius Randle Julius Randle out, Naz Reid questionable Friday
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 7:27 AM
NBA Injury Report
Julius Randle (hand) is out for Friday's matchup with the Rockets, and Naz Reid (shoulder) is questionable.
Analysis: Randle will miss a second straight game while Reid lands on the injury report for right shoulder injury maintenance. With Rudy Gobert (rest) already ruled out, the Timberwolves will have to turn to Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer to pick up the slack in the frontcourt. |
|
Julius Randle Julius Randle (hand) questionable vs. Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 1:29 PM
NBA Injury Report
Julius Randle (hand) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Randle did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Magic, with Kyle Anderson replacing him in the starting lineup. Randle's return would push SloMo back to the bench, eliminating most of his value in active fantasy leagues. |
|
Mike Conley Mike Conley (rest) removed from injury report
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 1:26 PM
NBA Injury Report
Mike Conley (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Conley is back after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Magic, which was Minnesota's second game in as many nights. His return gives the Timberwolves added depth on the perimeter, which will be key if Anthony Edwards and Ayo Dosunmu can't play. Both are listed as questionable on the injury report. |
|
Joe Ingles Joe Ingles (personal) ruled out vs. Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 1:18 PM
NBA Injury Report
Joe Ingles (personal) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Ingles, who started Wednesday's loss to the Magic due to the Timberwolves' many absences, will not be available on Friday. His absence will not affect active fantasy leagues, even if Minnesota remains extremely shorthanded on the perimeter. |
|
Bones Hyland Bones Hyland (hip) questionable vs. Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 1:14 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bones Hyland (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Hyland played 23 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Magic. He's likely to take on a similar role on Friday if available. How high a ceiling he'll have in active fantasy leagues depends on the statuses of Anthony Edwards and Ayo Dosunmu, who are also questionable. |
|
Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert (rest) to remain out vs. Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 1:11 PM
NBA Injury Report
Rudy Gobert (rest) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Gobert will miss a second consecutive game as he rests up for the playoffs. The Timberwolves are locked into the No. 6 seed in the West, so the regulars are likely to get time to rest in the team's final two games. Naz Reid will get another start, which raises his ceiling for those in active fantasy leagues. |
|
Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee) questionable vs. Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 1:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Edwards has missed 10 of the Timberwolves' last 12 games, with his right knee causing most of the absences. If he can't play on Friday but Ayo Dosunmu (calf) can, Ayo is likely to start alongside Donte DiVincenzo and Jaden McDaniels on the perimeter. |
|
Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (calf) questionable vs. Houston
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 12:58 PM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Dosunmu did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Magic, with his absence coinciding with Jaden McDaniels' return from a knee injury. If available on Friday, Dosunmu may remain in the starting lineup, as Anthony Edwards (knee) is also questionable. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid records 15 points, five âstocks' vs. ORL
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 3:29 PM
Naz Reid amassed 15 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, three steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Magic.
Analysis: With Rudy Gobert ruled out, the Timberwolves turned to Reid to man the middle on Wednesday. Minnesota gave up 132 points, but that's to be expected when you're playing without one of the game's best rim protectors. Reid did his part, tallying three steals and two blocks as part of a complete stat line. The Timberwolves are locked into the sixth seed in the West for the playoffs, so playing time could be limited for many of the team's consistent rotation players in their final two regular-season games. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels (knee) scores 18 points in return
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 3:28 PM
Jaden McDaniels (knee) finished Wednesday's loss to the Magic with 18 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer.
Analysis: In the lineup after a six-game absence, McDaniels logged 19 minutes in Wednesday's defeat. With Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle sidelined, there was no excuse for McDaniels not to be aggressive on offense, even with the limited playing time. He shot 50 percent from the field, scoring 18 points. Minnesota is locked into the sixth seed in the West, so the focus for its final two games will be on getting as healthy as possible ahead of the playoffs. |

Joe Ingles Joe, Jaden, Donte, Kyle, Naz to start vs. Orlando
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 12:42 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Joe Ingles, Jaden McDaniels, Donte DiVincenzo, Naz Reid and Kyle Anderson will start on Wednesday against the Magic.
Analysis: The Timberwolves, with three games left in the regular season, will use a starting lineup on Wednesday that they haven't yet used this season. Ingles gets his first start of the year, and Anderson will also start for the first time this year as a member of the Timberwolves. Several key players, including Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle, and Anthony Edwards, won't play against the Magic. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels (knee) upgraded to available
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 11:30 AM
Dane Moore
Jaden McDaniels (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Analysis: McDaniels is back after missing Minnesota's last six games with a knee injury. With Ayo Dosunmu ruled out, McDaniels may move into the starting lineup immediately. That said, Jaylen Clark's playing time should increase due to a potential minutes limit for McDaniels and the absence of multiple wings. |
|
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. |
