Minnesota Timberwolves DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (finger) will be available to play on Sunday against Chicago. He's been a regular lately on the injury report with a finger injury, but Edwards hasn't missed any games since early December. On Sunday, he will find himself going up against a below-par defense, as the Bulls give up 113.7 points per game. Edwards cooked the Bulls for 38 points in this season's first meeting. However, his shooting has been inefficient lately, so Edwards might not reach the same heights on Sunday.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year continues to be bothered by a rib injury. But he looked just fine in Friday's much-needed win over the Denver Nuggets and finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and three blocks in 35 minutes of work. The Timberwolves have won seven of their previous eight contests and currently sit among the top teams in the Western Conference. Yet, for Minnesota to claim the No. 1 spot heading toward the postseason, Gobert will need to be out there, especially with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined. Gobert had trouble scoring the last time these clubs met back in February. However, he still had a 12-point, 16-rebound double-double.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edward (finger) is questionable for Sunday's clash with the Bulls. Edwards has appeared on the injury report several times throughout the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's only missed three games. The Timberwolves are barely clinging to the top spot in the Western Conference, so it would be surprising if the 22-year-old weren't available. As always, Edwards will be an ideal DFS option if he suits up. But if he doesn't, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would see a surge in interest from DFS managers.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ribs) will play against Denver on Friday. He has been upgraded from questionable to available as the French pivot continues to play through a left rib sprain. The injury hasn't really affected Gobert, who continues to be a walking double-double and an intimidating defensive presence under the rim. He will have a big role to play in slowing down Nikola Jokic on Friday, and Gobert's offensive efforts might suffer because of it. He posted only four points in his only previous matchup against the Nuggets this season.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (back) has received the all-clear to play on Friday against Denver. He was initially listed as questionable for the game with lower back spasms. Edwards disappointed fantasy managers with a nine-point outing last time out against the Pistons, but he generally recovers well from tough nights, and a chance to take down the reigning champs should also add to Edwards's desire to bounce back on Friday. Minnesota's rising star has registered 27.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in two prior meetings with the Nuggets this term.
