Edwards hasn’t scored less than 20 points in a game often this season, but this ended up being the second-straight game that he scored 17 points. On Friday, he only scored 17 because Minnesota won by 40 points, which justified that performance. This one was simply a poor night for him. They only have two more games this week, with a matchup with the Suns on Friday up next. Expect Edwards to have a big night against Phoenix; he has averaged 33.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, six assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 blocks and four triples in three matchups with the Suns this season.

This was the second-straight double-double for Gobert, though it was on pace to be a much bigger night. He had eight points and 13 rebounds in the first half, but he wasn’t able to add much to his rebounding total after the break. This was also the second-straight game that Gobert didn’t record a block, which makes this the first time this season that he went consecutive games without swatting a shot. That isn’t typical for Gobert, and he’ll look to bounce back against the Suns on Friday.

Toppin has had some excellent nights from beyond the arc this season, though they haven’t come consistently. This was the third time this season that Toppin hit at least six three-pointers in a game, all of which have come in February or March, including twice in Indiana’s last five games. However, he has also had some incredibly quiet performances in limited minutes. The upside is certainly there every game for Toppin, but it hasn’t come consistently enough for him to be rostered in standard leagues.

Turner had been on a scoring tear entering this game; he scored at least 20 points in each of their last two games. However, he didn’t have that same scoring success in a matchup with Rudy Gobert. Still, he was able to provide plenty of defensive production despite the lack of scoring. This was his fourth-straight game with at least three swats. Indiana still has three more games this week for Turner to continue to rack up the defensive stats.

Reid’s production has been inconsistent since he was pushed back to the bench. However, when he’s at his best, he can have scoring nights like this in limited minutes. He has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four games and at least 20 points in two of those. Unfortunately, after a three-game week last week, Minnesota only has two more games this week. The schedule has limited Reid’s production more than his on-court play. They have three days off before playing the Suns on Friday.

Following a three-game absence, Haliburton has been able to play in Indiana’s last two games. He nearly recorded a triple-double in his return on Saturday but had a subpar shooting night. However, he didn’t have those same shooting issues against Minnesota, and he was able to record his 11th-straight double-double. Since the All-Star break, Haliburton’s production is more in line with the fantasy superstar from the last two seasons despite a rough start to the season for his lofty standards. They have a back-to-back coming up, and there is a chance that Haliburton sits out one of those games.

Mathurin, who sprained his left ankle, logged 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday’s win over the Nets. If he’s unable to play on Monday, more minutes will be available to Ben Sheppard, who only logged nine on Saturday. There would not be much to gain from streaming Sheppard in that spot, as starter Aaron Nesmith will be available.

Edwards has a laceration on his right thumb, hence his addition to the Timberwolves’ injury report. Losing Ant-Man would leave a massive hole in the starting lineup. Donte DiVincenzo is the player most likely to fill the void if Edwards sits, and this would raise his fantasy ceiling. Nickeil Alexander-Walker will also have added fantasy value in this scenario.

Two days removed from being held to six points in an overtime win over the Nets, Siakam was excellent in Saturday’s rematch. Spicy P has now scored 25 points or more in five of his last six appearances, turning it on offensively at the right time for those who have him rostered. Since March 11, Siakam has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. He and the Pacers begin a four-game Week 21 on Monday against the Timberwolves.

Saturday was an excellent day to roster Turner, as he was efficient offensively and recorded a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, the Pacers center has provided third-round value in nine-cat formats. As long as Turner remains healthy, he has the potential to be a difference-maker during the fantasy playoff weeks due to his ability to provide excellent value in multiple categories. The Pacers play four games during Week 21.

After missing three games with a back injury, Haliburton played 32 minutes in his return to the Pacers’ lineup on Saturday. While he didn’t have his best night shooting the ball, Tyrese did record another points/assists double-double with eight rebounds. Over the past two weeks, Haliburton has provided second-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Pacers play four games during Week 21, including a Wednesday-Thursday back-to-back.

Gobert only took five shots from the field, but he was able to get to the foul line and make 7-of-8 free throw attempts. The 32-year-old center also pulled down 11 rebounds, earned a double-double and had three steals on the defensive end. Gobert still played 30 minutes despite Minnesota running away with a 41-point victory, a sign he’s feeling much better after dealing with a back injury earlier this month.

Randle only played 25 minutes in the Timberwolves’ blowout victory over the Pelicans, but he was still able to leave his mark on the game. The 30-year-old power forward had 20 points on 11 shots, which is the third time he’s had at least 20 points in his last six games. He also pulled down six rebounds and dished out five assists. Perhaps more importantly, he managed to only commit two turnovers after totaling 10 turnovers over the previous two games. Minnesota is done for the week as they next take the court Monday against the Pacers.

Edwards only had 17 points in 26 minutes as the Timberwolves blew out the Pelicans by 41 points Friday. The 23-year-old shooting guard briefly went to the locker room and was said to be dealing with a thigh issue in the first half. Edwards came back in the game, but didn’t play a single minute of the fourth quarter with the game out of hand. The Timberwolves are off for the rest of the week before a Monday matchup with the Pacers.

The Athletic’s Jon Krawczynski reported that head coach Chris Finch is starting Ingles because his family is at the game. His son Jacob, who is autistic, sat through an entire game for the first time; the sensory overload of the arena had previously been too much for him. However, Ingles didn’t see the floor. Finch is starting Ingles so that Jacob can see his dad play and start. It’s unclear how much Ingles will play, and he is replacing Mike Conley in the starting lineup. Conley should still see close to his typical workload.

After only scoring nine points in 22 minutes on Wednesday, Turner bounced back and had his first double-double in nearly a month and his first 20-point double-double since December. He also had his highest block total in a game since Indiana’s first game after the All-Star break; he swatted seven shots in that game. This was the ideal game for managers that have Turner rostered, and he’ll look to repeat this performance in a rematch with Brooklyn on Saturday to close out the week.

This was an uncharacteristically quiet performance from Siakam that came 24 hours after he scored 29 points in a win over Dallas. It was a new season-low in scoring for Siakam and only the second time this season that he failed to score at least 10 points. He entered this game having scored at least 25 points in four consecutive games. A disappointing result for fantasy purposes, but Siakam still did enough for Indiana to get the win in overtime. Siakam will look to get back on track in a rematch with the Nets on Saturday.

This was a third-straight start for Mathurin in place of Tyrese Haliburton, who has been sidelined with a back injury. Mathurin has scored at least 20 points in all three starts, but he was also able to set a new career-high for rebounds in this game. He has averaged a career-high 5.4 rebounds per game this season, but this was the best rebounding night of his career by a decent margin. Mathurin hasn’t been able to consistently provide value in categories other than scoring, but if he can continue to improve as a rebounder, he may be able to produce top-100 value in nine-cat leagues eventually.

Nembhard continues to operate as Indiana’s primary point guard with Tyrese Haliburton sidelined, but it was a subpar night on Thursday. He struggled with his shot and ended up with more turnovers than assists, which is the exact opposite of what Haliburton typically provides. His night also ended early. Nembhard picked up a technical during an altercation with Trendon Watford in the fourth quarter, and he picked up a second technical in overtime. Even if he played out the final few minutes, there wasn’t much Nembhard would have been able to do to redeem his night.

Conley had his best offensive night in over a month, with the 16 points being the most he’s tallied in a game since February 6. The veteran point guard has proven more valuable to the Timberwolves than to fantasy managers on most nights, but he has been a top 100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As long as Conley continues to start ahead of Donte DiVincenzo, he can be a fantasy asset down the stretch. DiVincenzo finished Wednesday’s loss with 11 points, seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in 24 minutes.

Randle shot the ball well on Wednesday but offered limited value in categories outside of points and field goal percentage. He has shot nearly 53 percent from the field over the past two weeks, but the combination of turnovers and limited defensive production has lowered his fantasy ceiling. While Randle will not be a player who provides excellent value in the steals and blocks, he can clean up the turnovers.

On most nights when Edwards records a poor field goal percentage, his three-point shooting disappoints. That was not the case on Wednesday. While Edwards shot 4-of-10 from beyond the arc, he was a putrid 1-of-9 from two. A 15-of-17 night at the foul line salvaged the overall point total, and Ant-Man finished with a complete stat line. He’ll look to clean some things up in Friday’s rematch, which will also be Minnesota’s final game of Week 20.

Add the defensive numbers, and McDaniels has been a second-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.
