Minnesota Timberwolves DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is questionable for Friday's clash with the Denver Nuggets. He has a left rib sprain, although he's been playing through the injury. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year most recently logged 34 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pistons, ending the night with a double-double with two blocks. The Timberwolves and Nuggets are fighting for the top spot in the Western Conference, so it's unlikely Gobert will miss this one. But if he does sit out, Naz Reid would presumably cover the five spot, with Kyle Anderson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker getting more minutes than usual.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (back) is questionable for Friday's game in Denver. The 22-year-old has routinely appeared on the league's official injury report during the 2023-24 campaign. Yet, he's only missed three games, so it's unlikely back soreness will keep him off the floor for a pivotal matchup against the champs. Edwards had a rough showing in Wednesday's win over the Pistons. However, he's averaged 27 points in his two meetings with Denver this season, meaning he has an excellent chance to bounce back. But if Edwards can't suit up, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would see a surge in fantasy interest.
