Added to the injury report early Saturday afternoon, Dillingham is officially out for the series opener. The rookie guard has not been in the rotation since late February, so his absence will not have an impact.

Dillingham is a late addition to the Timberwolves’ injury report for Saturday’s series opener. He has not been in the rotation recently, last reaching double digits in minutes played on February 28. Dillingham’s status will only have an impact if Minnesota were to lose one of its veteran guards due to injury.

Gobert wasn’t able to provide a true encore to his 35-point performance on Friday, but he was able to turn in another double-double. The final few weeks entering the postseason have been excellent for Gobert; this was his fifth game with at least 15 rebounds in his last 10 appearances. This may not have been Gobert’s most productive regular season, but he’s getting hot at the right time. Minnesota will have a week off before they travel for Game 1 of their first-round matchup.

Edwards was originally supposed to be serving a one-game suspension on Sunday after picking up his 18th technical foul of the season on Friday. However, the tech was rescinded by the league, which allowed him to be available for the regular season finale to help the Timberwolves clinch a spot in the playoffs. This game went much better than Friday’s for Edwards; he was held to just nine points, which was only his second time this season scoring less than 10 points in a game, with the first coming in a big win over the Lakers in December. In this one, he had his second 40-point game of the month and will enter the postseason on a high note. Edwards also needed exactly seven three-pointers in this game to lead the league in total threes made this season; he hit just enough to beat out Malik Beasley.

After a disappointing start to the season, Claxton was able to redeem himself steadily. The Nets center finished as a seventh-round player in free-throw punt builds, which is only one round worse than his Yahoo! ADP. That said, Claxton’s rebounding and blocked shot production decreased, with the averages of 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks being the lowest for him since the 2021-22 campaign. He’ll remain a key building block for the Nets next season, but the team is undoubtedly hoping that he’ll be more effective on the glass and as a defender.

Martin was allowed to start Sunday’s season finale, his 11th of the season, and the former second-round pick played well. He recorded his second 20-point game in five appearances, and the rebounding production was also encouraging. Martin’s contract for next season is non-guaranteed, making it a fool’s errand to project what value he will provide to fantasy managers. And with the Nets having four first-round picks this summer, Martin’s path to a guaranteed contract will remain challenging.

Claxton is back after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves. While Precious Achiuwa should be a good matchup for him, fantasy managers in active leagues should assume Claxton will not log starters’ minutes in the regular-season finale. Johnson, Watford and Wilson offer decent fantasy ceilings for Sunday’s loaded schedule.

Jalen Wilson will likely notch another start with Williams out of commission. Tyson Etienne is the prime candidate to fill in as the Nets’ starting point guard.

Edwards was whistled for a technical foul against the Nets on Friday, which was his 18th of the season. If it wasn’t rescinded, he would’ve been suspended for a must-win game against Utah on Sunday. Now, he’ll be available to play. Minnesota can still finish anywhere from fourth to eighth in the West, so they need to beat the Jazz and have some other games go their way. Edwards’ availability will help their chances of winning.

Claxton got the night off on Friday but will be back for the season finale. He should return to the starting center role, which will push Drew Timme to a reserve role. However, with Day’Ron Sharpe and Noah Clowney sidelined, Timme should still play plenty of minutes.

Unsurprisingly, Sharpe, who hasn’t played since March 24, will remain sidelined for Brooklyn’s season finale. Expect Drew Timme to continue to dominate the minutes at center in a meaningless game for the Nets.

Williams missed Friday’s game against Minnesota, which allowed Jalen Wilson to start. He should remain in that role if Williams remains out. Beekman has been starting at point guard and should continue to do so if he plays. If he’s unavailable, Tyson Etienne is a candidate to move into the starting unit.

After dropping a 30-point double-double in Thursday’s win over the Grizzlies, Randle had another productive night against the Nets. He only missed three of his 11 shot attempts and provided solid value in multiple categories. Minnesota needs a win over the Jazz on Sunday and other positive results to avoid the play-in tournament, so Randle should take on his usual workload in the regular season finale.

With Anthony Edwards struggling offensively, the Timberwolves needed others to step up on Friday. Gobert answered the call, recording a season-high point total and his 35th double-double. He’s scored at least 19 points in five of his last seven outings, providing third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Minnesota needs to win Sunday’s game against the Jazz, and they’re unlikely to have Edwards due to technical foul accumulation. That matchup should be excellent for Gobert due to Utah’s lack of interior depth.

Edwards was whistled for his 18th technical foul of the season during the second quarter of Friday’s game. While the call appeared soft, Ant-Man is subject to a one-game suspension unless the league overturns the call. That knocked Edwards off his stride for the rest of the night as he struggled to get going offensively. The good news for the Timberwolves is that they play the Jazz on Sunday, and that should be an easy matchup with Utah focused on improving its draft lottery odds. But no Edwards, if the technical foul is not overturned, certainly hurts for fantasy managers in active leagues.

Watford is one of the Nets whose playing time has increased recently, as the front office has prioritized the draft lottery over winning games. His ability to provide value across the board makes Watford a player worth having during the “silly season,” especially when he’s in the starting lineup. Friday’s defeat ensured Brooklyn of the sixth-best odds to win next month’s draft lottery. The Nets host the Knicks in Sunday’s regular-season finale.

After dropping 20 points in Thursday’s loss to the Hawks, Wilson cooled off a bit on Friday. However, he still offered value in the rebound and three-point categories, and the second-year forward has reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. Starter Cameron Johnson has not appeared in a game since March 29. While he hasn’t been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Knicks yet, it’s challenging to envision Cam playing. Wilson’s chances of starting the regular-season finale are pretty high, and he would be worth rostering in active leagues.

Johnson has reached double figures in scoring in six of his last seven appearances, including two of 20 points or more. Friday’s performance was one of his best this season, as the Nets guard only missed two shots from the field. In addition to the points, Johnson provided solid value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Going into Sunday’s season finale against the Knicks, the concern is playing time, as Johnson only logged 24 minutes. He’s played 25 minutes or less in four straight games, as players like Reece Beekman (11/2/3/3 with one three-pointer in 31 minutes) and Dariq Whitehead (6/2/2/1 with two three-pointers in 20 minutes) pick up additional playing time.

Claxton will be available after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Raptors for rest reasons. His return means Drew Timme will head to the bench, with the rookie losing some fantasy value. However, Timme will continue to play rotation minutes, especially with Day’Ron Sharpe (knee) still sidelined.

While Keon will get a rest day on Tuesday, Cameron will miss a fourth straight game with a back injury. Trendon Watford will likely remain in the starting lineup, while Keon’s absence frees up additional minutes for Dariq Whitehead and Maxwell Lewis. One of those two will likely move into the starting five, raising their streaming value to managers whose leagues remain active.

While he has not been a fantasy asset during his first two NBA seasons, Whitehead has recently been given more opportunities to show what he can do. After scoring 17 points in an April 3 loss to the Timberwolves, the second-year guard has reached double figures in two straight games for the first time. There’s no need to add Whitehead now, but he’ll have value if the Nets decide to shut down Cameron Johnson. At this point, it would be somewhat surprising if they didn’t hold out the veteran wing for the season’s final week.

Timme started Sunday’s game for Nic Claxton, who was held out for rest reasons. The undrafted center out of Gonzaga has had his moments since joining the Nets, playing well enough to merit being streamed on nights when he’s allowed to start. The Nets’ four-game Week 23 includes a back-to-back, so managers whose leagues will be active may have another opportunity to stream Timme.

Beekman started Sunday’s game for D’Angelo Russell, who was held out with a sore right ankle. The undrafted rookie out of Virginia was solid, and his value moving forward depends on Russell’s availability. The Nets aren’t going to the playoffs, so Beekman may have another opportunity to start during the final week of the regular season. Brooklyn plays four games during Week 23, beginning with the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Beekman and Timme will get spot starts for the Nets on Sunday. Beekman hasn’t looked promising when given opportunities to contribute, but Timme has shown potential through four games with Brooklyn.

After three straight games of 25 points or more, Randle scored 26 in his last two appearances, shooting a combined 9-of-22 from the field. However, despite the downtick in scoring, he has remained an eighth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past week. Randle has provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories, thus preserving some of his fantasy value. The Timberwolves don’t play again until Tuesday when they visit the Bucks.

Anthony Edwards wasn’t the only Timberwolves scorer taking advantage of frequent mismatches as the 76ers didn’t have an answer for Gobert, either. The veteran center recorded another elite stat line, eclipsing 21 points and 18 rebounds for the second straight games. The “Stifle Tower” also recorded five “stocks.” Over the past two weeks, Gobert has provided top-20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Gobert managers whose leagues are not finished are likely happy that he’ll have four games to play during Week 23.

Edwards was outstanding on Saturday, as the undermanned 76ers had no answer for him defensively. The Timberwolves star woke up the Philadelphia crowd early in the first quarter with one of the dunks of the season. And his three-pointer late in the fourth quarter as the shot clock expired sent everyone to the exits. The 37 points are the most for Edwards since March 17, when he scored 38 in a loss to the Pacers. For fantasy managers whose seasons run through Week 23, the Timberwolves play four games, starting with the Bucks on Tuesday.

Williams and Wilson are back, with the former likely returning to the starting lineup. If so, Maxwell Lewis is most likely headed to the bench. Williams is worth rostering in deep leagues, especially with Cameron Johnson unavailable. As for Wilson, there may be too many players in the mix for rotation minutes for him to be impactful in fantasy leagues.

Claxton and Russell’s absences open up two spots in the Nets’ starting lineup for Sunday’s game. Drew Timme is a possible replacement for the former, while Tyrese Martin could be asked to fill in for the latter. Whoever starts will be worth streaming in deep leagues, even with Sunday’s schedule consisting of 11 games.

The only other update that head coach Jordi Fernandez provided was that they haven’t made a decision on D’Angelo Russell’s status for their matchup with Toronto, though he is still dealing with soreness in his ankle. Depending on that statuses of Jalen Wilson and Ziaire Williams, Trendon Watford and Maxwell Lewis could be in line for another starting nod.
