After averaging 14.8 points on 36.6 percent shooting in the first five games, Randle saved his worst for last in Game 6. The veteran forward shot 1-of-6 from inside the arc and offered little production to compensate for the poor shooting. Randle is going into the final guaranteed year of his deal, with a player option for 2027-28, and these playoffs won’t do him any favors. During the regular season, Randle provided top-75 fantasy value, and he’s capable of doing the same next season.

While he finished with a respectable point total, most of Randle’s work was done after the outcome was no longer in doubt. Shooting 4-of-4 from the field, the Timberwolves forward scored nine points in the fourth quarter. The first three quarters are a concern, especially with Randle offering limited production since scoring 21 points in Game 1. With the Timberwolves’ season on the line in Friday’s Game 6, they’ll need more consistent energy and production from Randle.

While he didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, Randle led six Timberwolves in double figures with 21 points. And with Anthony Edwards working his way back from a knee injury, Minnesota was bound to lean on Randle for more production, even if his efficiency suffered. The Timberwolves’ forward recorded his first double-double and third 20-point game of these playoffs. Minnesota will look to take a 2-0 series lead on Wednesday.

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.

With the Timberwolves missing multiple starters, Randle stepped up with 27 points and six assists in Game 5. Still, it wasn’t enough to close out the Nuggets on their home floor Monday. Randle and the Timberwolves will head home for Game 6 on Thursday, which could be their best chance to win the series.

Randle didn’t have a great game, but it didn’t matter much on a night when Ayo Dosunmu scored 43 points and Naz Reid added 17. Of greater concern for the Timberwolves was how Game 4 ended, with Nikola Jokić’s reaction to a Jaden McDaniels (12 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one block) layup sparking a shoving match that led to Jokić and Randle being ejected. No punches were thrown, so the two ejected players may be fine for Monday’s Game 5, but that isn’t guaranteed.

While quiet during the second half of Game 2, Randle’s performance in the first half helped the Timberwolves erase a double-digit deficit. He scored 18 points before halftime, combining with Anthony Edwards to score 38 of the Timberwolves’ 64 points. Randle finished with solid percentages and was one rebound shy of a double-double, performing much better than he did in Saturday’s Game 1 defeat. The Timberwolves host Game 3 on Thursday night.

While better during the fourth quarter, which allowed Minnesota to make a run before losing by 11, Randle did not offer much production early on. And with Anthony Edwards (knee) not appearing to be at full strength, the Timberwolves can’t afford inconsistent play from their starting power forward. A 31.5 percent shooter from three during the regular season, Randle missed all three of his attempts in Game 1. Simply put, he needs to be better.

The Timberwolves have nothing to play for on Sunday regarding playoff seeding, so their key players will not be available. Joan Beringer and Jaylen Clark should play plenty, and it would be unsurprising if a Rocco Zikarsky or Enrique Freeman played a few minutes as well. Beringer is the most trustworthy option for those in active fantasy leagues.

Randle will miss a second straight game while Reid lands on the injury report for right shoulder injury maintenance. With Rudy Gobert (rest) already ruled out, the Timberwolves will have to turn to Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer to pick up the slack in the frontcourt.

Randle did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Magic, with Kyle Anderson replacing him in the starting lineup. Randle’s return would push SloMo back to the bench, eliminating most of his value in active fantasy leagues.

Having played 31 minutes or more in six consecutive games, Randle did not have to play as much on Tuesday. The veteran forward played 28 minutes against the Pacers, finishing with a modest stat line. The only Timberwolves’ starter to play less was Mike Conley (8/2/3/3 with two three-pointers), who logged 21 minutes as he continues to fill in for the injured Anthony Edwards. The Timberwolves have three more games to play this week, starting with the Magic on Wednesday.

Randle has now scored at least 21 points in five of his last six games. The problem in Sunday’s game was that Anthony Edwards was out and Randle was one of just two Timberwolves with at least 15 points. The 31-year-old power forward also had five turnovers and was -17 in the 14-point loss. The Timberwolves have four games in the final week of the regular season, starting with a matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday.

Randle was the lone Timberwolves starter to shoot 50 percent or better from the field on Friday. And after struggling for a significant portion of March, he appears to be rounding into form. Randle has scored at least 21 points in four of his last five appearances, and he’s made at least 60 percent of his shot attempts in each of his last three. That has been a positive development for fantasy managers, who will get one more game out of Randle in Week 23 on Sunday against the Hornets.

Give Randle credit for stepping up with Anthony Edwards (knee, illness) ruled out. The 27 points were the most he’s had in a game since dropping 32 in a March 17 win over the Suns, and the veteran forward scored efficiently in Detroit. That’s a far cry from Randle’s performance in Minnesota’s March 28 loss to the Pistons, when he scored 11 points on 2-of-13 shooting from the field. He’ll look to build on Thursday’s effort in the Timberwolves’ final two games of Week 23.

Randle was one of several Timberwolves players to land good production against Dallas on Monday. In the one-sided affair, the veteran forward did work as a scorer both inside and outside the arc, while also contributing as a passer. He left some points at the free-throw line but was still able to finish as Minnesota’s only player to reach the 20-point mark. Randle will look to secure another solid performance against the Pistons on Thursday.

With Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels out, the three players the Timberwolves needed production from all struggled on Saturday. Randle shot 2-of-10 from inside the arc, with a 7-of-7 night at the foul line boosting his point total. Naz Reid (8/4/1/2) and Bones Hyland (six points, one rebound, two steals and two three-pointers) shot a combined 5-of-25 from the field, and that won’t get the job done against a team of Detroit’s caliber. They’ll look to rebound on Monday against the Mavericks, and Edwards and McDaniels may be available.

Randle struggled with his shot on Wednesday, but came up big for the Timberwolves down the stretch of overtime. He either scored or assisted on the Wolves’ final seven points, which included a tough go-ahead mid-range jumper to give Minnesota a two-point lead with under 10.0 seconds remaining. The win was a big one for the Timberwolves from a seeding standpoint; with the victory, they move to fifth place in the Western Conference standings and are now one game up in the loss column over the sixth-seeded Rockets. Randle will have a chance to help the Wolves to a third straight win on Saturday when they face the Pistons.

In the two games the Timberwolves have played since losing Anthony Edwards to a knee injury, Randle has totaled 53 points on 17-of-27 shooting from the field. Against the Jazz, he also recorded eight assists and four steals, providing excellent value in those categories. At this rate, Randle is capable of delivering some key wins to fantasy managers looking to win their league title.

Randle struggled coming out of the All-Star break, but he has been excellent over their last two game, scoring 32 points in each. He has been on fire, and they’ll need him to keep it up with Anthony Edwards set to be sidelined for at least a few more games with a knee injury. Randle will be the focal point of the offense until Edwards returns which could lead to more outings like this one, especially with the Jazz up next on the schedule on Wednesday.

Having struggled since the All-Star break, Randle needed a day like Sunday, even if it came in a losing effort. Surpassing the 20-point mark for the second time since the break, the Timberwolves’ forward’s 32 points were the most in a game for him since putting up 41 in the team’s last game before the All-Star break. Minnesota plays four games in Week 21, and fantasy managers will hope for a more consistent Randle.

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 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.

Randle finished one rebound shy of a double-double on Saturday, but the final line felt underwhelming due to the point total. Averaging 21.5 points per game on the season, the Timberwolves forward has just one 20-point game since the All-Star break. The Timberwolves, and those who have him on their fantasy rosters, need more scoring from Randle.

While Randle’s post-All-Star break struggles from beyond the arc continued on Thursday, as he missed both of his attempts, the veteran forward’s overall value has been better recently. Since the break, he’s shot 3-of-21 from distance, and Randle has struggled with that aspect of his game all season. However, the decreased three-point shooting has not done much damage, if any, to his overall fantasy value.

Randle entered Tuesday averaging 12.4 points per game on 35.7 shooting since the All-Star break. While he didn’t make any of his four three-point attempts, the Timberwolves forward shot 7-of-11 from two and scored nine points at the foul line. Tuesday’s performance was much-needed for Randle and those who roster him, even without any defensive stats on his line.

Randle had just four points and was 1-of-10 from the field in Thursday’s win over the Clippers. The 31-year-old power forward bounced back Sunday, though he still struggled with his shot a bit. Randle was just one rebound and three assists shy of recording a triple-double.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game with back spasms, Randle will be available to play. He’ll look to bounce back from his worst performance of the season, a four-point showing against the Clippers on Thursday in which he shot 1-of-10 from the field.

Randle is dealing with back spasms, which is why he appears on the Timberwolves’ injury report. He’s yet to miss a game this season, and his absence on Sunday would result in more scoring opportunities for Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid. As for who moves into the starting lineup, Reid is a potential replacement, as is Terrence Shannon Jr.

Randle had a rough night in Inglewood, producing his lowest scoring output of the season. Fantasy managers were able to salvage something due to the six assists, but this was a disappointing night for the Timberwolves’ forward. Naz Reid (11 points, seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks) and Jaden McDaniels (12/7/2/3) stepped up, supplementing Anthony Edwards’ 31-point night to help the Timberwolves escape with the 94-88 victory. Randle will look to bounce back when Minnesota visits Denver on Sunday.
