Christie left Saturday’s loss to the Lakers early with an ankle injury, but after three days to recover, he’ll be available. Christie has been surging as of late, and fantasy managers should expect him to handle his normal workload.

Flagg was not expected to play in Sunday’s matchup with Milwaukee, but that was the second leg of a back-to-back set. That game was postponed, so he’s had three days off to get healthy. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Flagg’s status, and if he’s unable to go, Naji Marshall could see a bump in usage. Marshall has standalone value that is not dependent on Flagg’s availability.

Several players made big contributions for the Timberwolves in their blowout victory over the Warriors. Even in the one-sided affair, Gobert logged 35 minutes, allowing him the time necessary to dominate the glass and the interior before finishing with a monster double-double, his eighth of January. Gobert has enjoyed another strong season and should continue to produce good numbers the rest of the way, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

DiVincenzo did all of his scoring from beyond the arc on Monday, taking and making a lot of threes at an efficient clip. In addition to the scoring, DiVincenzo was by far Minnesota’s best distributor on the night — he led the team in assists and tied a season-high in the process. His four stocks may stand out the most, however, to add to a very balanced performance. The Timberwolves won this game convincingly, but even with the score being one-sided, DiVincenzo logged 31 minutes and, as a result, was nearly able to collect a double-double.

Randle certainly didn’t log one of his more explosive performances on Monday, but in the blowout win, he still put up a decent line in his 23 minutes of game action. He shot well from the field and led the Timberwolves in scoring, despite some struggles from the three-point line. He had a difficult time taking care of the basketball, too. Yet, Randle was active on the boards and came close to securing a double-double in his relatively brief time. He’ll next take the floor on Wednesday against the Mavericks.

With Anthony Edwards (foot) ruled out for Monday’s game, Conley moves into the starting lineup. However, the move into the starting lineup isn’t expected to result in a significant increase in the veteran point guard’s workload. Despite coming off the bench, Bones Hyland offers a higher ceiling for fantasy managers seeking a streamer.

Edwards will sit out Monday’s game after scoring 32 points in Sunday’s loss to the Warriors. Bones Hyland and Mike Conley will see their opportunities increase, with the former offering the higher streaming ceiling.

Edwards is a new addition to the injury report, with right foot injury management as the reason for his inclusion. Given the timing of the injury update, there’s a real possibility that he doesn’t play. If Edwards sits, Mike Conley and Bones Hyland will be asked to pick up the slack, with the latter offering a higher ceiling.

DiVincenzo was in a bit of a slump coming into Sunday’s game. The 28-year-old shooting guard had last scored at least 20 points in a game on January 8, a span of seven games. DiVincenzo wasn’t very efficient, shooting just 7-of-19 from the field. Most of his attempts were three-point attempts, though, and he made 6-of-15 from behind the three-point line. He’s provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks and the Timberwolves have four games in the upcoming week, making him worth considering in standard leagues if he’s available.

Edwards bounced back after scoring just 20 points in Thursday’s loss to the Bulls, adding four made three-pointers. It wasn’t enough for the Timberwolves to come away with a win as they fell 111-85 to the Warriors on Sunday. Minnesota has now lost four games in a row. Edwards has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Timberwolves start a four-game week against the Warriors on Monday.

The Mavericks, who lost to the Lakers at home on Saturday night, were unable to fly to Milwaukee due to inclement weather in the Dallas metroplex. This is the second game on Sunday’s schedule postponed due to inclement weather, with the other being Nuggets/Grizzlies.

After logging 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, Williams is dealing with a sore right knee. His absence would likely lead to more playing time for Ryan Nembhard, who played only four minutes against the Lakers. D’Angelo Russell may also see some action after picking up a DNP-CD.

Thompson only played 14 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, the least he’s played in a game since New Year’s Day. The doubtful tag suggests the veteran guard won’t be available on Sunday, potentially leading to rookie Miles Kelly playing rotation minutes. There’s no need to stream him in redraft leagues.

Christie exited Saturday’s loss to the Lakers early in the third quarter after spraining his left ankle, but he was not in the locker room long before returning. If he’s unable to play, the Mavericks would likely give Jaden Hardy rotation minutes after he picked up a DNP-CD on Saturday.

Flagg played 34 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, and this is the first back-to-back for the Mavericks since the rookie missed two games with a sprained left ankle. Add in Dallas having to travel to Milwaukee, and it makes sense that he would be unlikely to play on Sunday. No Flagg would further enhance Naji Marshall’s fantasy value; he’s worth adding regardless of what happens with the rookie’s availability.

Williams doesn’t offer much in the way of defensive production, which limits his fantasy ceiling just as much as coming off the bench does. However, being on a standard deal gives him a clear edge over Ryan Nembhard, who only played four minutes Saturday night and is still on a two-way contract. Fully trusting Williams in fantasy leagues right now is challenging, but that may change after the All-Star break.

While Flagg couldn’t get much done scoring-wise, he still offered solid value in the rebound, assist and steal categories. The biggest issue for the rookie in category leagues recently has been the foul line, with Flagg making 61.9 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. With Dallas visiting a Milwaukee squad that won’t have the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo on Sunday, it would be unsurprising if Flagg finished Week 14 with a flourish.

Rostered in 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Marshall has been a fantasy stud recently. Providing third-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, the Mavericks’ wing recorded his first double-double of the season in Saturday’s defeat. With Dallas visiting Milwaukee on Sunday in its final game of Week 14, don’t hesitate to pick up Marshall if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Christie left Saturday’s game during the third quarter but was able to return after a short period in the locker room. The Mavericks’ guard finished with his fourth consecutive 20-point game, and he should be rostered in a higher percentage of Yahoo! leagues. A sixth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Christie is rostered in 26 percent of Yahoo! leagues. With the Mavericks facing the Bucks on Sunday, now’s a good time to pick him up.

Cissé’s absence coincides with Daniel Gafford’s return from a sprained ankle. As a result, Gafford can absorb those minutes, at a minimum. Dwight Powell will remain in the rotation, but he hasn’t offered much fantasy value, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

In the aftermath of Saturday’s killing of a man by federal agents, the league has decided to postpone Saturday’s game. The two teams will play on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. Eastern, meaning the Warriors and Timberwolves will meet on consecutive nights.

Gafford is set to return following a four-game absence. According to head coach Jason Kidd on Friday, “Gaff did shootaround. He did everything. He’ll be ready to go tomorrow.” Gafford’s return should send Dwight Powell back to the bench and eliminate the streaming appeal of he and Moussa Cissé.

It continues to come inconsistently, but Reid has been a fantasy beast at times this season. Usually, that’s because of an offensive explosion, which held true in this game. However, it was the defensive impact that made this so impressive. The blocks were a new season high for him, and for a player only averaging 0.9 blocks per game this year, that isn’t a category that managers have relied on from him. He’ll look to stay hot against the Warriors on Saturday.

Randle’s production had dropped off in the two games since Anthony Edwards returned, but that didn’t hold true in this one. This was his eight 30-point game of the season, though only three of those have come over the past month. Randle has been excellent for Minnesota this year, and he currently ranks inside the top 50 in nine-category leagues. He’ll look to stay hot against the Warriors on Saturday.

Active after missing the previous three games, Washington was used in a reserve role on Thursday. The forward played 22 minutes, eight shy of the limit set by the team. Washington didn’t have a prolific scoring night, but he filled up the stat sheet, which was excellent for those who have him rostered in category leagues. Caleb Martin remained in the starting lineup but only played 19 minutes, going scoreless with two rebounds, one assist and two blocked shots. Those who streamed Martin when Washington was unavailable can move on.

Before Thursday’s game, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said that Flagg could be limited to 20-25 minutes. Key word: could. The rookie played 30 minutes and showed no signs of being hampered by the sprained left ankle he suffered last week. Flagg recorded his sixth double-double of the season, and he has provided sixth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past month.

For the first time this season, Christie has scored at least 20 points in three consecutive games. And he’s flipped a switch since the holidays, with five of his six 20-point games occurring after Christmas. With Anthony Davis (hand) out for the foreseeable future, there will continue to be room for Christie to have a greater impact offensively. A top-100 player over the past two weeks, he’s rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and that number is too low.

A double-digit scorer in each of his last ten games, Marshall has scored 22 or more in four of his previous six. Thursday’s performance was one of the best of the Mavericks’ forward’s career, as he matched his season-high point total and finished one assist shy of a double-double. Over the past two weeks, Marshall has provided third-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Marshall should be added in more 12-team leagues.

Gafford will miss a fourth consecutive game, leaving the Mavericks to once again rely on Dwight Powell and Moussa Cissé at the center position. While the former has been the starter, the latter offers a higher fantasy upside. At a minimum, Cissé is worth rostering in deep dynasty leagues.

Cissé was initially listed as questionable but was upgraded to probable earlier in the day. He has now officially been cleared, and with Daniel Gafford (ankle) sidelined, he should play an important role off the bench, where he has averaged 11.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 21.6 minutes per game over his last three outings.

Randle, Naz Reid, and Donte DiVincenzo are the only players to play in all 44 games this season, so the expectation is that Randle will do what he can to get onto the court. Randle was also present at shootaround earlier on Thursday, so the injury is likely not severe. If he doesn’t play, Reid would likely slide into the starting lineup with Joan Beringer entering the rotation.

Cissé had been listed as questionable, so this is a step in the right direction for him. Meanwhile, Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful, so Cissé should get a nice run of minutes. However, the Warriors don’t often play a traditional center, so the Mavericks could get by with lots of minutes for Naji Marshall and not need Cissé as much on Thursday.
