Reid injured his right shoulder during Sunday’s loss to the Thunder. With Anthony Edwards (knee) already ruled out, the Timberwolves will need more production from Reid if he’s allowed to play.

Edwards has played through a sore right knee the last few games, but he will not do so on Tuesday. His absence opens up opportunities for Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland, with one likely moving into the starting lineup. Also, the Timberwolves will need more production from Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels.

Like Julius Randle, DiVincenzo entered Sunday’s game in a slump. He totaled 20 points in four games, shooting 8-of-29 from the field. The Timberwolves guard snapped out of his funk in Oklahoma City, shooting 4-of-7 from beyond the arc. DiVincenzo added nine rebounds for good measure, but the points and three-pointers are why most fantasy managers held out hope that he would turn things around.

Dosunmu has reached double figures in three straight and five of his last six games, with the 18 points scored on Sunday being the most for him since his 21-point night against the Hawks on February 9. Even though his role in Minnesota is not as big as the one he held in Chicago, Dosunmu remains a player worth rostering in some 12-team leagues.

Edwards had a rough afternoon shooting the basketball, as he produced low percentages from the field and the foul line. Fantasy managers can take solace in Edwards’ ability to record a complete stat line. However, category league managers who had little room for error in their percentages may be in a tough spot as they look to win their Week 20 matchups.

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.

Initially said to be a game-time decision, Edwards is good to go for Sunday’s game. He’ll take on his usual role as the focal point of the Timberwolves’ offense.

Edwards is once again on the injury report with a sore right knee, but he has not missed a game. If he’s unable to play, the Timberwolves will need more production from Julius Randle than they’ve received recently. At the same time, Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland will have added importance within the rotation.

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.

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.

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 will not be available after initially being listed as questionable on the injury report. Bones Hyland and Terrence Shannon Jr. may pick up additional minutes off the bench, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling.

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.

Due to a sore right knee, Anderson did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Magic. As a result, the Timberwolves stuck with an eight-man rotation instead of looking for a ninth player to take on Anderson’s role.

Given his general shot profile, Gobert not missing in a game isn’t all that surprising. He made all six of his attempts against the Magic while providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories, playing 33 minutes. Since the All-Star break, Gobert has been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Timberwolves play four games in Week 20, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday and the Clippers the following night.

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.

Edwards put up a robust stat line on Saturday, but he didn’t get much help in the 119-92 defeat. Jaden McDaniels (three points, four rebounds, two assists and three steals) shot 0-of-9 from the field, and Donte DiVincenzo (two rebounds, four assists and one steal) went scoreless, missing all six of his attempts. Edwards and the Timberwolves won’t play again in Week 19, but they have four games in Week 20.

Anderson is out after being listed as questionable with right knee soreness. The 32-year-old small forward played 14 and 15 minutes in his last two games, so his absence will free up some minutes at the back end of the Timberwolves’ bench rotation. Similarly, his absence will have minimal impact on fantasy basketball.

Anderson, who has played 14 and 15 minutes in his last two games, is dealing with a sore right knee. If he can’t play on Saturday, his absence frees up minutes on the back end of the Timberwolves’ rotation. In the game preceding Anderson’s return to Minnesota, head coach Chris Finch went with an eight-man rotation instead of nine.

Reid exited Thursday’s game during the third quarter after injuring his right shoulder while scrambling for a loose ball with Toronto’s Sandro Mamukelashvili. The good news is that he did return during the fourth quarter, so fantasy managers may not have much to worry about. The Timberwolves play once more in Week 19, Saturday against the Magic.
