Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee) questionable vs. Detroit
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 11:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Edwards played 23 minutes in his return to the court on Monday, with Mike Conley making another start due to ânature callingâ for the Timberwolves' star. If Edwards can't play against the Pistons, Conley would get another start. This also raises the fantasy ceiling for Ayo Dosunmu, who is replacing Jaden McDaniels (knee) in the starting lineup. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu logs 18/15/12 triple-double vs. Dallas
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 5:30 PM
Ayo Dosunmu finished Monday's win over the Mavericks with 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), 15 rebounds, 12 assists, three steals and one three-pointer.
Analysis: Dosunmu showed off his versatility throughout Monday's contest. As a scorer, he did most of his work inside the arc before finishing as Minnesota's second-highest scorer. He set a new season-high in rebounds, which led the Timberwolves. And when he wasn't scoring, it was likely because of how impactful a facilitator he was, as he reached double figures in assists for the first time this season. Donsunmu collected a few steals to sweeten his final stat line, and even though a second consecutive triple-double is unlikely, he will have chances to keep making an impact while Jaden McDaniels is out of the lineup with an injury. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle puts up 24 points in blowout win
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 5:22 PM
Julius Randle amassed 24 points (9-of-14 FGs, 3-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Randle was one of several Timberwolves players to land good production against Dallas on Monday. In the one-sided affair, the veteran forward did work as a scorer both inside and outside the arc, while also contributing as a passer. He left some points at the free-throw line but was still able to finish as Minnesota's only player to reach the 20-point mark. Randle will look to secure another solid performance against the Pistons on Thursday. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards returns, adds 17 points off bench
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 5:18 PM
Anthony Edwards tallied 17 points (7-of-13 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in Monday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Edwards didn't start Monday's game, despite initially being tabbed as a starter in his return from a six-game absence. He eventually checked in off the bench and produced in his 23 minutes during the 30-point victory. Edwards shot the ball efficiently and made some plays as a passer, too, showing that it likely won't take long for him to get right back in the swing of things. He'll have seven more games to get comfortable before the regular season ends, but fantasy managers are hoping it takes far less time than that. |

Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 2:13 PM
NBA Starting Lineups
Anthony Edwards, Rudy Gobert, Ayo Dosunmu, Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo will start against the Mavericks on Monday.
Analysis: Edwards will return to the Wolves' starting lineup in his first game back from a knee injury. He'll join three of the usual starters and Dosunmu, who is making a spot start against the Mavericks thanks to Jaden McDaniels' knee injury. Minnesota, the fifth seed in the Western Conference, currently has the same record as Houston, which occupies the sixth seed. Each game down the stretch of the regular season could have an impact on the playoff picture ??" including Monday's contest. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards (knee) set to return vs. Dallas
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 1:10 PM
Ryan Eichten
Anthony Edwards (knee) is available to play on Monday against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Edwards' return from a six-game absence will be a huge boost for the Timberwolves, who are still battling for seeding in the Western Conference. The versatile shooting guard is averaging a career-high 29.5 points per game this season on very good 49.2/40.2/79.6 shooting splits. His return comes at an even more important time for the Wolves, following Jaden McDaniels' knee injury. Obviously, Edwards should be a lock in fantasy lineups throughout Championship Week. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (calf) available Monday vs. Mavericks
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 9:16 AM
NBA Injury Report
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is available for Monday's matchup with the Mavericks.
Analysis: Dosunmu was on a heater before missing the last two games, but he'll return to face Dallas. Anthony Edwards is questionable, and if Ant-Man is sidelined, Dosunmu could operate as the team's top scorer and playmaker. Even if Edwards is cleared to play, Dosunmu has standalone value. |

Minnesota Timberwolves
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Dosunmu was held out of Saturday's loss to the Pistons, which led to Mike Conley moving into the starting lineup. If available on Monday, where Dosunmu falls in the rotation depends on Anthony Edwards (knee). If Edwards plays, Dosunmu would come off the bench if available. He would likely start if Ant-Man remains out. |

Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 11:49 AM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Edwards could be back in the lineup on Monday, which would give the Timberwolves a needed boost on the offensive end of the floor. If he can play, Mike Conley is the player most likely headed to the bench. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels (knee) remains out vs. Dallas
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 11:47 AM
MInnesota Timberwolves
Jaden McDaniels (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: McDaniels will miss a second consecutive game with a knee injury. However, Anthony Edwards (knee) is questionable, and his return would give the Timberwolves a much-needed boost. Terrence Shannon Jr. may remain in the starting lineup for another game with McDaniels unavailable. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle struggles in blowout loss to Detroit
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 2:19 PM
Julius Randle finished Saturday's loss to the Pistons with 11 points (2-of-13 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists and one blocked shot.
Analysis: With Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels out, the three players the Timberwolves needed production from all struggled on Saturday. Randle shot 2-of-10 from inside the arc, with a 7-of-7 night at the foul line boosting his point total. Naz Reid (8/4/1/2) and Bones Hyland (six points, one rebound, two steals and two three-pointers) shot a combined 5-of-25 from the field, and that won't get the job done against a team of Detroit's caliber. They'll look to rebound on Monday against the Mavericks, and Edwards and McDaniels may be available. |

Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert corrals 12 rebounds vs. Detroit
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 2:16 PM
Rudy Gobert accounted for 14 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds and one block in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: Gobert's streak of games with at least 10 rebounds reached six on Saturday, with the veteran center recording four double-doubles during this stretch. Since the All-Star break, the 7-footer has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. While Gobert's start to the season was a bit underwhelming, his finish may help some fantasy managers win their leagues. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 23, starting with Dallas on Monday. |

Donte DiVincenzo Donte DiVincenzo hits five triples, scores 22
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 2:11 PM
Donte DiVincenzo amassed 22 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and five three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Pistons.
Analysis: DiVincenzo's production in March has been subpar, with the Timberwolves guard entering Saturday having yet to record consecutive double-digit scoring games this month. That changed against the Pistons, with DiVincenzo shooting 5-of-14 from beyond the arc. His field-goal percentage wasn't particularly good, but it was an improvement on what DiVincenzo has supplied on most nights in March. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 23, starting with the Mavericks on Monday. |

Ayo Dosunmu Ayo Dosunmu (calf) downgraded to out vs. Detroit
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 4:57 AM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Ayo Dosunmu (calf) is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Dosunmu's sore right calf will keep him out for a second consecutive game. Mike Conley started Wednesday's overtime win over the Pistons and played 29 minutes, offering limited fantasy value in that role. Bones Hyland remains the player who fantasy managers should stream despite coming off the bench. |

Jaden McDaniels Jaden McDaniels (knee) out Saturday vs. Detroit
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. |
