Back with the team after a one-game absence for personal reasons, Ingles recorded his first double-double since December 30, 2022, on Sunday. The 38-year-old shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and recorded a complete stat line in 32 minutes of play. Give Ingles credit for staying ready, but it’s highly unlikely that he’s asked to play major minutes in the playoffs. The No. 6 seed in the West, Minnesota will face Denver in the first round.

Shannon ended the regular season with three consecutive games of 23 points or more. He didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, thanks largely to a 1-of-7 effort from beyond the arc. However, Shannon’s ability to apply pressure on the Pelicans’ defense contributed to his attempting 18 free throws. With the Timberwolves at full strength, rotation minutes could be challenging to come by in the team’s first-round series against the Nuggets. However, Shannon’s finish to the season may convince Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch to give the second-year wing a shot.

Making a second consecutive start due to the absences of Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid, Beringer was dominant on Sunday. The rookie center became the 12th teenager in league history to record at least 10 points, 10 rebounds and five blocks in a game, and the youngest in Timberwolves franchise history. Beringer finished with season-highs in points, rebounds and blocks, putting forth an effort that likely thrilled dynasty league managers rostering him. Beringer is unlikely to be much of a factor in this year’s playoffs, but his time will come.

Jackson finished the season strong with 12.7 points per game and 5.3 assists per game in seven games in April. While the 27-year-old guard certainly showed some promise, it still remains to be seen if he’ll factor into the Pacers’ rotation next year when the team is healthy.

Walker started and had 17 points against the 76ers on Friday, but is set to miss Sunday’s game against the Pistons with a left foot sprain. The 22-year-old small forward had a promising season, but it remains to be seen if he can crack the Pacers’ rotation when the team is fully healthy.

Regardless of what happens on Sunday, the Timberwolves will be the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference playoffs. So, Edwards, McDaniels and Anderson are among the many rotation players who won’t be available for the regular-season finale. Seldom-used options like Zyon Pullin and Julian Phillips are likely to play rotation minutes, and Donte DiVincenzo may play a few minutes in what will be his 82nd game of the season.

While Dosunmu and Conley played rotation minutes in Friday’s win over the Rockets, Hyland was unavailable due to a hip injury. All three will sit out Sunday’s regular-season finale, which opens things up for Terrence Shannon Jr. Given how well he played against the Rockets, it would be unsurprising if Shannon had a big Sunday against New Orleans.

The Timberwolves have nothing to play for on Sunday regarding playoff seeding, so their key players will not be available.

Beringer is the most trustworthy option for those in active fantasy leagues.

Shannon’s overall stat line was lean, but he made much-needed contributions as a scorer for the Timberwolves. And over his last two games, the second-year wing has totaled 56 points on 19-of-27 shooting from the field. Shannon may not be a consistent member of the Timberwolves’ rotation once the playoffs begin, but he’s a player whose ability to score could make him someone for the team to call upon when an offensive boost is needed.

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.

With no Rudy Gobert or Naz Reid, Beringer was tabbed to make the second start of his rookie campaign on Friday. The 6-foot-11 center had a good night, not missing a shot from the field or the foul line while also recording three “stocks.” The Timberwolves are locked into their playoff seed, making it possible that Beringer plays significant minutes in Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Pelicans.

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.

The expectations for Huff were high entering this season due to the lack of other center options for the Pacers. While he has had the best season of his career, most of his value has been tied to his shot blocking, which has certainly been impressive. He matched his season high for swats in this one, but he also made a contribution on the glass. This was just the third time this season that Huff finished with double-digit rebounds. This was a fun season, but he will likely return to being a depth big behind Ivica Zubac next season.

Potter has started three of the Pacers’ last four games, and in each of those starts, he recorded a double-double. Potter signed a two-year deal with Indiana in December to help fill out some of the minutes at center. He’ll continue to play a significant role for them in their final game of the season on Sunday against the Pistons. However, it is unlikely he plays a significant role next season when the team is fully healthy.

Walker led Indiana in scoring in this game, but it wasn’t enough for them to get a second straight win. Walker has had a strong third season in the league and has taken advantage of the extra opportunity, but he hasn’t been able to shoot efficiently or contribute much defensively. Walker has shown some flashes, but it is difficult to project him playing a significant role when Indiana is healthy next season.

Walker was impactful across the board on Thursday — he produced as a scorer, attacked the glass, facilitated, and was disruptive on the defensive end throughout the game. As a result, the third-year forward came close to securing a double-double. Walker has now scored in double figures while securing at least six rebounds and four assists in three of the last four games. He’s contributing in all areas down the stretch of the season and will look to have another productive game on Friday against the Sixers.

Potter performed well in his 23 minutes on Thursday. He was aggressive as a shot-taker, an approach that led him to finish as the team’s second-highest scorer on the evening. However, his domination on the glass was perhaps the most impressive part of the outing; Potter’s 14 boards led all players and marked a new season high. The fifth-year center has played the best basketball of his NBA career this season; he’ll have a chance to finish strong with two games remaining.

Toppin used his 19 minutes of game action well on Thursday, missing just three shots en route to finishing as the only Pacers player with 20 or more points.

He was one of several Indiana players to leave their mark on a game that the Pacers were comfortably in control of from start to finish.

The Timberwolves did not have Anthony Edwards or Julius Randle for Wednesday’s game, so the scoring had to come from somewhere. Enter Shannon, who only missed three shots from the field and recorded the first 30-point game of his NBA career. Add in the assists and three-pointers, and this was an excellent offensive performance for the second-year wing.

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.

Walker was in the Pacers’ lineup on Tuesday after missing four games with a back injury, and he logged 28 minutes. The five turnovers weren’t good, but the rebounds, assists and steals helped offset them. How Walker goes about finishing this season will be critical regarding his outlook for next season.
