With Anthony Edwards (foot) sidelined, Hyland played 21 minutes off the bench, played aggressively and dropped a season-high 23 points. The 25-year-old point guard hasn’t been a consistent enough scorer to even say he’s a worthwhile streamer while Edwards is out, though Tuesday’s performance was certainly encouraging.

The Timberwolves were without Anthony Edwards (foot) Tuesday, but the lineup didn’t play like they missed him. Randle led the way with 29 points and filled out his monster stat line with eight rebounds, six assists and four three-pointers. Minnesota led 76-45 at halftime and improved to 27-14 with the 139-106 victory. Randle has provided 10th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Timberwolves are back in action Friday to take on the Rockets.

Jaquez Jr. played 31 minutes off the bench Tuesday with Davion Mitchell going down with a shoulder injury. While the extent of Mitchell’s injury is unknown for now, Jaquez Jr. is still available in most leagues and would be worth streaming if Mitchell were to miss more time. Pelle Larsson could also see extra minutes off the bench if Mitchell remains out Thursday against the Celtics.

Adebayo’s 29 points were a game-high. The 28-year-old center was incredibly efficient, taking only 15 attempts from the field, going 3-of-4 from the foul line and 4-of-6 from behind the three-point line. It was his first game with at least 20 points since December 15, nearly a full month ago. Adebayo will look to have another good game Thursday against the Celtics.

With under a minute left and the game tied at 118, Powell hit a three-pointer, his fourth of the game, to put the Heat ahead for good. Powell was initially questionable with a back injury, but played 32 minutes in the game. He’s provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Heat are off until Thursday when they have a matchup with the Celtics at home.

Wiggins was electric from beyond the arc in this one, knocking down a season-high seven three-pointers, while recording his first 20-point effort since December 27. The 30-year-old veteran has experienced a significant decline in the scoring department this season, averaging just 16 points through 35 games. He got a few additional creation opportunities with top scorer Norman Powell missing this contest with a back issue. The Heat kick off a busy three-game week on Tuesday against the Suns before facing the Celtics and Thunder to close it out.

Larsson scored 16 points for the second time in his last four games. The lack of a consistent role limits his scoring appeal and extinguishes his immediate fantasy appeal. However, he would be the primary beneficiary from a minutes standpoint if Norman Powell winds up requiring a lengthy absence. It’s a situation to monitor in deeper fantasy leagues.

Gobert picked up his sixth flagrant foul point of the season in the third quarter of Sunday’s game when Victor Wembanyama landed on his foot after a three-point attempt due to the Timberwolves’ center’s closeout. Gobert’s rebounding production was solid, but that was the lone positive. He’ll be suspended for Tuesday’s game in Milwaukee due to the flagrant foul points, and Gobert’s likely to be fined for bumping into an official after the flagrant foul.

Edwards was basically the only Timberwolves’ starter capable of getting going offensively during the second quarter, making three of his five attempts in the frame. Others joined the fight in the third and fourth quarters, helping Minnesota win a game it trailed by as much as 19. Even with a persistent foot issue, Edwards hasn’t missed a game since December 17. Fantasy managers shouldn’t be too concerned if his name shows up on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Bucks.

Less than five minutes into the third quarter of Sunday’s game, the Timberwolves trailed by 19 points. They managed to rally to pull off one of their best wins of the season, and DiVincenzo’s shooting was a factor. He hit four of his five three-pointers in the second half, and the overall stat line will be helpful to fantasy managers. Rostered in 45 percent of Yahoo! leagues, DiVincenzo has been close to a top-50 player over the past two weeks. The Timberwolves begin a three-game Week 13 in Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Herro returned to the starting lineup Saturday in his second game back from a toe injury. Somewhere along the way, the 25-year-old point guard also picked up a rib contusion.

As a team, the Heat shot 4-of-30 from beyond the arc in Saturday’s 123-99 loss. Powell was part of the problem, as he shot 1-of-7 from deep while Tyler Herro was 1-of-8. Fantasy managers can take solace in the fact that Powell has been highly productive on most nights, which should be an indicator of his ability to bounce back. He’ll look to do so in Miami’s final game of Week 12 on Sunday against the Thunder.

As much as a player can in a game his team lost by a 123-99 final score, Jaquez had a good night. He finished a blocked shot and a three-pointer shy of a complete stat line while shooting 50 percent from the field. That said, Jaquez is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. With the Heat now close to full strength, his production off the bench is something to watch, as Jaquez has been good enough to offer standard-league value thus far. Hopefully, that doesn’t change.

Saturday night was rough for Adebayo and the Heat, who never led against the Pacers. While effective as a rebounder, the Heat captain didn’t offer much value otherwise.

After coming off the bench in his first game back from a toe injury, Herro was back in the starting lineup on Saturday. He finished with a complete stat line, but the Heat were blown out and the other starters struggled. Where Herro is within the lineup doesn’t matter much, as he’ll provide solid fantasy value wherever. But it does affect Kel’el Ware, who tallied two points and three rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench. Ware can still offer reliable fantasy value, but he’s someone to watch with Herro back in the fold. The Heat visit Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Hyland had a solid stretch in mid-December, but his role has been limited recently. However, he went over 20 minutes in this game, which allowed him to set a new season high for assists.

Edwards poured in 16 first-half points to help the Timberwolves build an early lead, which they extended to nearly 30 points by the midway point of the fourth quarter, in their second contest against Miami in the last three days. The combination of the score and a couple early fouls cut into Edwards’ minutes and prevented him from an even more impressive scoring performance as he was feeling it from long range, hitting 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. The 24-year-old franchise cornerstone has put together a phenomenal season, averaging 29.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks through 30 games.

Herro looked like his usual self coming off the bench in this one following an 11-game absence recovering from a right toe injury. He shot the ball well overall but was just 1-of-4 from three-point range in his first game action since December 9. It was an off night for Miami overall as they shot just 35.7 percent from the floor as a team and failed to break the century mark. It’s been a frustrating season for Herro, and fantasy managers, as injuries have limited to just seven games after he played 77 of 82 last year.
