Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards has 28 points in loss to 76ers
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 3:50 PM
Anthony Edwards had 28 points (11-of-19 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Edwards was coming off a 40-point performance in the win over the Mavericks on Friday. The 24-year-old shooting guard still had a good game with 28 points on 19 field goal attempts, though it wasn't enough to earn the victory against the 76ers on Sunday. Edwards has provided 12th-overall per game value this season, according to Basketball Monster. The Timberwolves have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid (shoulder) out, Joan Beringer to start
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 12:34 PM
NBA Injury Report
Naz Reid (shoulder) is out for Sunday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Initially questionable, Reid will sit out Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. With Rudy Gobert serving a one-game suspension for flagrant foul point accumulation, rookie Joan Beringer will receive the starting nod. Due to Minnesota's lack of healthy post players, he is worth streaming in 12-team leagues. Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo, Jaden McDaniels and Julius Randle complete the starting five. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid (shoulder) questionable vs. 76ers
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 6:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Naz Reid (shoulder) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Reid didn't make the original injury report, but there is now a chance he misses Sunday's game against Philadelphia. In that scenario, Joan Beringer would likely see a bump in minutes as the backup center, though that won't be a large enough role for him to be worth streaming. |

Rudy Gobert Rudy Gobert suspended one game for flagrant fouls
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 9:29 AM
NBA PR
Rudy Gobert has been suspended one game for accruing his seventh flagrant foul point.
Analysis: Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an âunnecessary flailâ during Friday's win over the Mavericks. The NBA announced Saturday that the foul was upheld and thus Gobert has been suspended one game without pay for accruing his seventh flagrant foul point of the regular season. The 33-year-old center will serve his suspension Sunday against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer could move into the starting lineup in Gobert's absence. While Reid has fantasy value either way, Beringer is only relevant if he's starting. |

Rudy Gobert Gobert faces one-game ban for flagrant foul points
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 5:28 PM
Christopher Hine
Rudy Gobert recorded 22 points (9-of-11 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 17 rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocks in Friday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Gobert had one of his best games of the season on Friday, but he may not be available for Minnesota's next game. The 7-foot-1 center was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an âunnecessary flailâ during Friday's victory. If the league office doesn't rescind the call, Gobert will be suspended for Sunday's game against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer, with the latter playing four minutes on Friday, would be the replacement in the starting lineup. While Reid offers solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, Beringer needs to start to be of value to fantasy managers. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid records 21/7/4/1/2 line vs. Dallas
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 5:27 PM
Naz Reid finished Friday's win over the Mavericks with 21 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers.
Analysis: Reid had the kind of night that has made him a favorite of fantasy managers for quite some time, recording a complete stat line while shooting over 50 percent from the field. The only quibble for fantasy managers would be the foul shooting, but Reid only attempted two free throws on the night. With Rudy Gobert facing a one-game suspension for flagrant foul points, the Timberwolves will need another big night from Reid on Sunday against the 76ers, even if he doesn't start. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards drops game-high 40 points vs. DAL
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 5:27 PM
Anthony Edwards tallied 40 points (16-of-30 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers in Friday's win over the Mavericks.
Analysis: Edwards put on a show on Friday, making it eight games this season with 40 points or more. As has been the case for most of this season, Ant-Man was at his best when the Timberwolves needed him most, shooting 6-of-8 from the field in the fourth quarter. Edwards and the Timberwolves play one more game in Week 17, as they host the 76ers on Sunday. |

Anthony Edwards Anthony Edwards named All-Star Game MVP
Sun, Feb 15, 2026, 2:37 PM
Anthony Edwards finished with 32 points (13-of-22 FGs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointers in the All-Star Game on Sunday.
Analysis: Edwards received 10 of the 14 votes for MVP of the All-Star Game, with Kawhi Leonard receiving the other four. Edwards' highest-scoring game was the first matchup with Team World, which ended with a Scottie Barnes game-winning triple after Edwards forced overtime with a three-pointer of his own. They lost to Team USA Stars in the second game of the night, but they got revenge in the championship by winning 47-21. Edwards has had his best season as a scorer thus far and will look to build on this performance with a strong finish to this season. |

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. |

Julius Randle Julius Randle goes off for season-high 41 points
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. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 1:02 PM
Minnesota Timberwolves
Anthony Edwards (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Added to the injury report on Wednesday morning, Edwards is good to go for the Timberwolves' final game before the All-Star break. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Bones Hyland's streaming value taking a significant hit. |

Wed, Feb 11, 2026, 3:49 AM
Timberwolves PR
Anthony Edwards (illness) was downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Edwards woke up with an illness and subsequently popped up on the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old shooting guard will have the afternoon to recover in time for the game. Bones Hyland would be a streaming option is Edwards is ultimately ruled out on Wednesday. |

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. |

Naz Reid Naz Reid ejected due to 4th quarter altercation
Mon, Feb 9, 2026, 4:01 PM
Naz Reid was ejected from Monday's game against the Hawks with 11:30 remaining in the fourth quarter.
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. |
