Jones has been sidelined since he suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee during a November 16 game against the Celtics. At the time, it was announced that he would miss at least six weeks. However, Jones has been able to play some 1-on-1 and 3-on-3 recently, and his head coach considers the forward to be “ahead of schedule” in his recovery. John Collins has been the starting power forward in Jones’ absence, but that has not done much to bolster his fantasy value.

Conley will miss a second straight game as he deals with right Achilles tendinopathy. There were a few more minutes available to Rob Dillingham on Friday, but he remains behind Bones Hyland in the pecking order. There’s no need to consider streaming Dillingham in redraft leagues.

On the heels of a two-point outing against the Suns, DiVincenzo bounced back nicely on Friday with his fourth 20-point game of the season. He hadn’t had a significant impact on the game through three quarters, but saved his best for the fourth. In the final frame, he recorded 10 points and knocked down two massive three-pointers to swing the momentum and ultimately help the Wolves get back in the win column. With Mike Conley (Achilles) and Anthony Edwards (foot) out on Friday, and Bones Hyland (knee) exiting early with an injury, there’s a chance DiVincenzo’s usage and production could take a jump in the short term.

After being ejected from Monday’s loss to the Suns, Gobert responded with one of his better performances of the season on Friday. In the win, the veteran center crossed the 20-point mark for the second time this season and pulled down double-digit rebounds to claim his 10th double-double. Most notably, Gobert came up big in the fourth quarter by going 6-of-6 from the field with a key basket down the stretch to help the Timberwolves get back in the win column. His numbers are down slightly this season, but he remains a nightly double-double threat.

Randle did a little bit of everything for the Timberwolves on Friday. The veteran forward led all Minnesota players in scoring, taking advantage of the charity stripe and efficient overall shooting. His work on the boards brought him close to a double-double, and he made several key passes down the stretch of the fourth quarter to help the Wolves land a bounce-back win. Randle has now tallied at least 20 points in four consecutive games and continues to provide value as a facilitator.

There’s just one change to the Timberwolves’ starting lineup, but it’s significant. Anthony Edwards is out with a foot injury, so Hyland will make his first start as a Timberwolf. With Mike Conley also out, this may be a spot where Rob Dillingham picks up rotation minutes off the bench, but Hyland should be the focus of deep-league managers looking for a streamer.

While Randle’s fantasy value has slipped recently, with the forward being a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, he’s scored at least 20 points in three straight games. And after averaging 18.7 points per game in his first season with the Timberwolves, Randle has pushed the number up to 22.9 this season while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field. The production and efficiency have improved, making Randle a reliable player to roster, regardless of league format.

Having shot 6-of-17 from the field in his previous two outings, Edwards was a game-time decision for Monday’s game with an illness. He showed no ill effects once the contest got underway, with the Timberwolves guard recording his fifth 40-point game of the season. Even with that two-game mini-slump, Edwards is shooting 55 percent from the field and providing top-20 value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Minnesota plays two more games in Week 8, starting with the Warriors on Friday.

Gobert played 21 minutes, finishing with 15 points (7-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal. Naz Reid replaced Gobert and should log heavy minutes the rest of the way, with a little Joan Beringer sprinkled in.

Leonard has scored at least 20 points in six straight and seven of the eight games he’s played since returning from ankle and foot injuries. He has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats since returning, and he has not missed a game. While the Clippers only playing once during Week 8 isn’t great for Leonard managers from a production standpoint, the added time off may benefit him once the schedule returns to “normal” after the NBA Cup.

Harden finished Saturday’s defeat with a robust stat line, and he made some personal history. The Clippers guard moved into tenth on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, passing Carmelo Anthony. Over the past two weeks, Harden has provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats, one round behind his season-long value. Turnovers remain an issue for the veteran guard, but most fantasy managers understand what they’re getting into at this point in Harden’s career.

His corner three-pointer with 13.5 seconds remaining broke a 104-all tie and gave the Timberwolves the lead for good.

After struggling with turnovers and foul trouble in Thursday’s win over the Pelicans, Edwards had another difficult night on Saturday. A perfect night at the foul line boosted his points tally, but he was also responsible for five turnovers. The good news for fantasy managers is that Edwards provided solid value in rebounds, assists and “stocks,” but they’ll be hoping for better in Week 8. The Timberwolves play three games in Week 8, good news for managers competing in leagues that won’t combine Weeks 8 and 9.

Counted on mainly for his defense, McDaniels came up big on offense for the Timberwolves. The 27 points were the most he’s scored in a game since October 29, when he dropped a season-high 30 on the Lakers. He finished the comeback victory with a complete stat line and has provided seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McDaniels may be undervalued, as he has been a top-50 player this season.

On a night when Anthony Edwards was limited to 3-of-11 shooting, Randle was one of the Timberwolves who stepped up to help erase a slow start. He’s scored at least 22 points in three of his last four outings, but the decreases in points and field-goal percentage are why Randle has only been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. However, that isn’t a reason to panic, as Randle’s season-long value remains high. Minnesota has an excellent schedule for those competing in leagues that don’t combine Weeks 8 and 9, as they’ll play three games next week.

Zubac’s production on Friday was minimal compared to what he has shown over the past couple of seasons. The veteran center didn’t find many scoring opportunities on Friday, and was surprisingly unimpactful on the glass in his 35 minutes of game action. As a result, his streak of double-doubles ended at three games, and he failed to secure double-digit rebounds for the first time since November 22 against the Hornets. He’ll have a chance to bounce back quickly on the second night of a back-to-back against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Harden’s numbers were down on Friday across the board, as he put forth one of his least productive outings of the season. He finished with fewer than 20 points for just the 15th time this season, which didn’t appear would be the case after scoring 13 first-quarter points. He was also unproductive on the glass and didn’t provide his usual level of impact as a passer. All in all, it was an unspectacular performance from the former league MVP, relative to what type of numbers he’s usually putting up. Fantasy managers will hope Harden can bounce back against the Timberwolves on Saturday.

Leonard led the Clippers in scoring on Friday, but did so without scoring efficiently from beyond the arc. He shot 2-of-9 from deep and struggled with his shooting in the fourth quarter as the Grizzlies took control and eventually won the game. From a fantasy basketball standpoint, Leonard was solid — he did well on the glass and tallied more assists than his season’s average while chipping in a couple of stocks. Most importantly, the two-time Finals MVP has played 35 minutes in consecutive games. He appears to be off his minutes restriction, which could potentially lead to greater fantasy production going forward.

Two days removed from torching the Pelicans for 44 points in an overtime victory, Edwards had arguably his worst game of the season. Due to foul trouble, he attempted six shots from the field, the second-fewest in a game for Ant-Man this season. He only attempted five shots in an October 26 win over the Pacers, but that’s because the Timberwolves guard exited after three minutes due to injury. Add in the eight turnovers, and Edwards had a dud on Thursday that fantasy managers will have to flush. Don’t be surprised if he bounces back on Saturday when Minnesota hosts the Clippers.

After logging 38 minutes and putting forth a dominant showing in Tuesday’s win over the Pelicans, Gobert only played 24 minutes in Thursday’s rematch. This isn’t the first time that Timberwolves head coach has decided to go small in crunch time, but that’s a concern when discussing Gobert’s fantasy value. He’s providing 11th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, well below his Yahoo! ADP (68). Gobert remains a viable option in most leagues, but the playing time is something to keep an eye on moving forward.

Seven Timberwolves scored in double figures on Thursday, with Reid’s total being surpassed only by Julius Randle, who scored 28. With head coach Chris Finch being willing to go small down the stretch, as he has on a few occasions this season, it was Reid who was on the floor while starting center Rudy Gobert was on the bench. Reid is already rostered in 74 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but, notably, he’s played at least 28 minutes in each of his last four appearances (33 on Thursday). Consistently hitting or exceeding that number would likely raise his fantasy ceiling.

On a night when Anthony Edwards finished with more turnovers (eight) than shot attempts (six), Randle led the way as other Timberwolves picked up the slack. The roles were reversed in Tuesday’s win over the Pelicans, so it’s only right that the veteran forward stepped up in the rematch. Based on his Yahoo! ADP, many expected Randle to be a middle-round option in category leagues. Well, he’s providing third-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, much to the delight of those who drafted him. Minnesota ends its Week 7 with a home game against the Clippers on Saturday.

Haynes’ initial report said the Clippers were “severing ties” with Paul, and the team released a statement confirming that. Paul also posted on Instagram at 2:40 a.m. in Atlanta, where the Clippers are playing on Wednesday, that he is being sent home. Paul announced previously that this would be his final season, so this could give him an opportunity to join a contending team to close out his career. That was likely the idea with the Clippers, along with Paul enjoying some of the best seasons of his career with them, but the team has started off 5-16. CP3 has played a small reserve role this year, so his departure may open up a few minutes for Kris Dunn and Cam Christie, but it won’t significantly alter the rotation.

After failing to hit double figures in scoring for the first time since November 4 in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, Zubac began a new streak on Saturday. The double-double was his 12th of the season, and the playing time remains high. Zubac has played at least 32 minutes in four straight and nine of his last ten games. The concern after Saturday’s game was the collision with Dallas’ Dwight Powell, which caused Zubac to hit the back of his head on the court. He stayed in the game, but with the Clippers visiting Miami on Monday, we’ll have to see whether the 7-footer’s name appears on the injury report.
