Randle spearheaded Minnesota’s offensive effort with Anthony Edwards (foot) missing his second straight contest. He knocked down a pair of three-pointers and finished one rebound shy of a double-double in this one. The 31-year-old scoring machine has delivered fifth-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging 23.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 0.5 steals over six games during that span. It’s a busy week coming up for the Timberwolves as they host the Grizzlies, Thunder and Bucks.

McDaniels eclipsed 20 points despite going 1-for-7 from downtown by getting to the line for a season-high six free throws. The 25-year-old continues to play a significant role for Minnesota as he’s topped 17 points in four of his last six contests since December 1. He’ll continue to shoulder a significant portion of the offensive workload with Anthony Edwards (foot) on the shelf.

Reid played an increased role for Minnesota in the second half, pouring in 13 points over 19 minutes off the bench, after Rudy Gobert left the contest for personal reasons. It’s unclear how much time Gobert is going to miss, if any, but Reid would be the most significant beneficiary from a minutes standpoint. The 26-year-old big man has contributed second-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging a robust 16.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks over his last six games.

Gobert left Sunday’s game for personal reasons early in the second half. Expect to see plenty of Naz Reid as the Timberwolves look to hold on for the victory. Minnesota’s next game is on Wednesday against the Grizzlies.

Hyland has been upgraded from questionable to available and will be back in the starting lineup. He’ll once again fill the void left by Anthony Edwards, who’s out with a foot injury. Hyland only played four minutes in Friday’s win over the Warriors, as he exited with a right knee contusion.

Ant-Man will miss a second straight game, which means Bones Hyland (knee) could be in line for a spot start. Hyland, who has been upgraded to available, could see a boost in playing time with Mike Conley (Achilles) also on the sideline.

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.

Hyland started Friday’s win over the Warriors for the injured Anthony Edwards, but a right knee contusion limited him to four minutes. Bones’ fantasy prospects hinge on Edwards’ availability, as he’ll fall in the rotation if Ant-Man can play.

Edwards did not play in Friday’s win over the Warriors, with Bones Hyland replacing him in the starting lineup. However, Hyland exited after just four minutes with a right knee contusion. If both players can’t go on Sunday, Terrence Shannon Jr. would be the next man up.

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.

Hyland, who started Friday’s game for the injured Anthony Edwards, suffered a right knee contusion during the first half. Terrence Shannon Jr. started the third quarter in his place. In addition to Shannon, Rob Dillingham will have additional minutes available.

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.

Initially listed as questionable, Edwards will sit out Friday’s game with a sore right foot. With Mike Conley also out, who starts in Ant-Man’s place is up in the air. Terrence Shannon Jr., Bones Hyland and Rob Dillingham are all possibilities, but the latter has been out of the rotation recently. Shannon and Hyland are safer streaming options in Edwards’ absence.

Right Achilles tendinopathy will keep Conley out of Friday’s game, opening up rotation minutes among the Timberwolves’ reserves. Bones Hyland may play more minutes, but he still cannot be trusted in most fantasy leagues.

Edwards is dealing with a sore right foot, hence his inclusion on the Timberwolves’ injury report. With Mike Conley already out, Minnesota would have to look elsewhere if Ant-Man cannot play. Bones Hyland has passed Robert Dillingham in the rotation recently, but this could also be a chance for Terrence Shannon Jr. to take on a more prominent role.

Not only were the 14 points a season-high for Hyland, but this was his second game in double figures. While he did provide needed perimeter shooting off the bench, one game does not make the former first-round pick a viable fantasy option. Leave Bones on the waiver wire.

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 was issued a Flagrant 2 foul and ejected for his hard foul on Mark Williams as the Suns’ center attempted a dunk. 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.

Initially questionable for Monday’s game, Edwards is good to go and won’t be under any restrictions. He’ll take on his usual role as Minnesota’s first scoring option. Mike Conley will remain in his usual reserve role since Edwards is available.

Under normal circumstances, Shannon’s availability would have a limited impact on fantasy basketball. However, with Anthony Edwards (illness) still considered questionable, a few more minutes may become available to the second-year wing despite coming off the bench.

Shannon, like Anthony Edwards, was added to the injury report with an illness Monday afternoon. Shannon could be in line for more minutes if he is available and Edwards isn’t, but if Shannon is out, Jaylen Clark and Mike Conley will see a minutes boost.

Edwards is a late addition to the injury report, as is Terrence Shannon Jr., who is also battling an illness. Shannon would likely see a bump in minutes if he suits up and Edwards doesn’t, but if both are out, Mike Conley and Jaylen Clark would likely see the biggest role increase, with Conley likely to start.

Reid has scored at least 18 points in three consecutive games, the first time he’s done so since mid-November. His corner three-pointer with 13.5 seconds remaining broke a 104-all tie and gave the Timberwolves the lead for good. A top-75 player on the season, Reid has provided top-40 value over the past two weeks. The Timberwolves play three games during Week 8, starting with the Suns on Monday.

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.

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.
