Gobert’s five shot attempts on Friday equaled his total in Minnesota’s prior two games. The difference against the Warriors was that he was able to get to the foul line and convert at a good clip. Gobert shot 8-of-10 from the charity stripe, part of his highest-scoring night since scoring 18 in a March 5 win over the Raptors. There are times when Minnesota can be more intentional in getting Gobert involved offensively, but that did not appear to be an issue on Friday. Minnesota visits the Thunder on Sunday to end its Week 20.

For the fifth time this season and 47th time of his career, Edwards finished a game with at least 30 points, five rebounds and five assists. The Timberwolves’ star said after Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers that he needed to do more, and he backed up those words in San Francisco. Friday’s game was Edwards’ tenth this season with at least 40 points, and he’s scored 34 or more in three of his last four appearances.

Initially questionable due to a sore knee, Edwards is good to go for Friday’s game. He’ll take on his usual responsibilities as the focal point of the Timberwolves’ offensive attack.

Dosunmu is good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. With Anthony Edwards (knee) upgraded to probable, Dosunmu will take on his usual reserve role for the Timberwolves.

Ant-Man is a late afternoon addition to the injury report, so fantasy managers should have a contingency plan in case he’s ruled out. Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is also questionable, but Dosunmu would be the next man up is he’s available. Bones Hyland and Mike Conley could also be in line for more run if Edwards or Dosunmu are sidelined.

Mitchell was solid in his 30 minutes of game action, finishing with fewer points than only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the Thunder en route to the two-point win. Efficient shooting was the key driver of Mitchell’s success on Thursday, but his ability to facilitate and make plays for others was another noteworthy takeaway. Whether he’s started or come off the bench, Mitchell has become a reliable wing option for the Thunder in his second NBA season. He’ll have a chance to find solid production again on Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Holmgren had a relatively pedestrian game on Thursday compared to some of his recent performances. The versatile center finished below his average in points, missed a double-double by one rebound, and didn’t record any blocked shots for a second straight game. He still concluded as the team’s top rebounder on the night and one of its best scorers, but fantasy managers will certainly want more from Holmgren with the fantasy playoffs on the horizon.

Gilgeous-Alexander recorded a memorable outing in the Thunder’s close win over the Celtics on Thursday. A notable midrange jumper during the third quarter gave the reigning MVP his 127th consecutive 20-point game, passing Wilt Chamberlain for the longest streak in NBA history. He proceeded to score efficiently, come up big down the stretch, and log at least 30 points for the 38th time this season. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect any dip in production from SGA as the fantasy playoffs near.

Dosunmu missed Wednesday’s game against the Clippers, and there is a chance he misses a second straight game. Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon Jr. would be in line for extra minutes once again if Dosunmu remains out, though neither would play enough to be worth streaming.

Unfortunately for those who have Randle on their fantasy rosters, he had another underwhelming performance on Wednesday. A 5-of-5 night from the foul line pushed him into double figures, and the rebounds and assists were solid. However, most fantasy managers who drafted Randle did so with the expectation of bigger scoring numbers. The Timberwolves have two more games in Week 20; hopefully, Randle finishes on a high note.

After a terrible showing in Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers, Edwards bounced back in a major way on Wednesday. He recorded his 36 points efficiently, shooting well over 50 percent from the field. The five turnovers were a negative, but fantasy managers will take that compared to the line Edwards recorded the night prior. The Timberwolves still have two more games in Week 20, starting with the Warriors on Thursday.

Dosunmu dealt with an injury in his right thumb earlier this season, and it has popped back up again. If he ends up missing this matchup with the Clippers, Bones Hyland, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon Jr. would likely be in line for a few extra minutes, with Hyland playing the largest role off the bench.

Like Julius Randle, Reid has seen his fantasy value decrease since the All-Star break. In eight games, he’s averaged 11.5 points while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 46.2 percent from the foul line. Reid was solid against the Lakers, shooting just over 50 percent from the field, and he remains a valuable option in 12-team leagues. However, his value has taken a hit at the worst possible time, with some leagues already in their playoffs.

After going off for 41 points in the Timberwolves’ final game before the All-Star break, Randle has seemingly lost his mojo. With just one 20-point game to his credit since then, he’s averaged 14.4 points per game while shooting 40.2 percent from the field. And with Randle not bringing as much to the table in some of the other major statistical categories, his fantasy value has taken a significant hit. And with the Timberwolves falling to fifth in the West, they’d like to see Randle turn things around as well.

Edwards had a brutal night against the Lakers. The Timberwolves star shot 1-of-10 from beyond the arc, and his accuracy wasn’t much better inside of it, either. He did record a complete stat line in the defeat, but category league managers took a beating in the field-goal percentage category. Edwards will look to bounce back on Wednesday when the Timberwolves visit the Clippers.

Anderson is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Magic with a sore right knee. His return expands the Timberwolves’ rotation to nine, as only eight players saw action the last time out. Andreson is not a player who should be rostered in redraft leagues.

Appearing in a game for the first time since January 21, Mitchell looked far from rusty in the first half of Monday’s victory. Shooting 7-of-12 from the field, the second-year guard scored 15 points before halftime. Mitchell ultimately played 29 minutes, with Cason Wallace (four points, two rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes) taking the most significant hit in terms of playing time. Before his injuries, Mitchell was productive enough to become a must-roster player in deep leagues. In the aftermath of Monday’s performance, his rostership is likely to increase.

As a general rule, JayWill should be considered as a streaming option on nights when Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein don’t play. On nights when both are out, Williams is a must-roster player. He was outstanding against the Nuggets, shooting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. The seven triples were a career-high for the former second-round pick, and fantasy managers also benefited from the rebounds, assists and blocked shots. Oklahoma City doesn’t play again until Thursday, which may be enough time to get Holmgren and Hartenstein back in the lineup. If not, do not hesitate to pick up Williams.

A thriller in Oklahoma City went down to the wire, with the reigning Most Valuable Player getting the last laugh. Gilgeous-Alexander hit three-pointers on the Thunder’s final two possessions, the last giving the reigning champs the 129-126 victory. And he made some history, moving into a tie with Wilt Chamberlain for the most consecutive games with at least 20 points, 126. Add in the career-high 15 assists and nine rebounds, and Monday was another great night for SGA and those who have him on their fantasy rosters.

Williams moved into the starting lineup on Saturday, as a calf injury sidelined Isaiah Hartenstein. JayWill shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc and provided excellent value in the rebound and assist categories while playing 32 minutes. His productivity is no surprise to experienced fantasy managers, as Williams has put up some big lines in the past when allowed to start. The Thunder’s three-game Week 20 does not include a back-to-back, so Williams’ value could be limited if Hartenstein returns.

The Thunder did not have Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein for Saturday’s game, with the former’s absence opening a spot in the starting lineup for Joe. While he did not provide any defensive stats, the percentages were solid for the Thunder wing. His fantasy value moving forward depends on the availability of players ahead of him in the rotation, but Joe is worth streaming on nights when he’s allowed to start.

Gilgeous-Alexander is one step closer, having scored at least 20 points in 125 consecutive games. That’s one away from Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record, and SGA can match the all-time great on Monday against the Nuggets. As for his performance against the Warriors, Gilgeous-Alexander didn’t have the best night shooting from the field, but a near-perfect night at the foul line boosted the points tally. Monday’s matchup with the Nuggets is the first of three games for the Thunder in Week 20.

Oklahoma City won’t have Chet Holmgren or Isaiah Hartenstein for Saturday’s game, leaving two openings in the starting lineup. Joe and JayWill will fill the voids, with the latter representing a solid streaming option for those looking for a low-rostered post player with double-double potential.
