While Randle didn’t shoot efficiently, he consistently had the basketball in his hands down the stretch and helped lead Minnesota to the finish line and into the second round. He produced at all three levels as a scorer and was one of the team’s more productive passers throughout the game. Surely, Randle is capable of a greater stat line, but he was impactful in his 37 minutes on the floor. He’ll have a chance for stronger stats against the Spurs on Monday.

Shannon showed up and played exceptionally well in his first playoff start, delivering consistent, timely baskets throughout the game to help Minnesota advance past the first round. Arguably, the only knock on the second-year guard’s performance was his inability to knock down the three-point shot efficiently. Still, he finished as the team’s second-leading scorer in a game that they played without several key perimeter players. Shannon should have a role to begin the second-round series against San Antonio, regardless of which Timberwolves players are available.

McDaniels stepped up in a big way to help the Timberwolves advance to the second round. Offensively, he took on a significant role and responded by notching his first-ever 30-point playoff game. He battled on both the offensive and defensive glass, while being a major reason for Jamal Murray’s offensive struggles. McDaniels was massive all throughout Round 1, and his two-way ability will be relied on when Minnesota takes on San Antonio in the next round.

With Dosunmu out, the Timberwolves find themselves in a tougher spot in Thursday’s closeout game. They’ll insert Shannon into the opening unit, who scored 15 points in Game 4. Minnesota will face a Denver team that is also dealing with a key injury to Aaron Gordon, who will not play in Game 6.

Dosunmu’s absence on Thursday is undoubtedly a major blow for the Timberwolves, who are already playing without Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles). Since being acquired ahead of February’s trade deadline, the fifth-year guard has been stellar for Minnesota on both ends of the floor. He’s become one of the team’s best and most reliable scorers during the postseason. Without Dosunmu, Jaden McDaniels and Julius Randle will likely be counted on for more offensive production.
