Minnesota Timberwolves DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) will play on Wednesday against Memphis. He tweaked his ankle during Tuesday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs, although he still logged 33 minutes and scored a game-high 34 points. However, the 22-year-old is one of the most durable players in the National Basketball Association, so it would have taken a lot to keep him off the floor. Of course, Edwards is a must-start in all fantasy leagues. But he's averaged only 17.3 points in three meetings versus the Grizzlies this year, meaning he may not be an ideal DFS option.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Edwards injured his left ankle in Tuesday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Luckily for the Timberwolves, Ant-Man isn't dealing with a significant injury. Nickeil Alexander-Walker has the potential to slot into the team's starting lineup as he's posted an average of 9.3 points, 3.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, and 1.1 steals across 16 games while a starter in this years campaign.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have listed center Rudy Gobert (ankle) as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. Gobert fought through a sprained left ankle in Tuesday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs, but his status is uncertain for the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back. It's worth noting the 31-year-old interior presence logged 39 minutes Tuesday, so if the T-Wolves elect to give Gobert the night off, expect Naz Reid to start at power forward in the frontcourt alongside the returning Karl-Anthony Towns against a depleted Memphis squad that ranks 24th in fantasy points allowed to the position, per DraftKings scoring.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies. After tweaking his left ankle in Tuesday's win over the San Antonio Spurs, Edwards is still experiencing soreness but isn't dealing with a serious injury. Minnesota could opt to play things safely with Ant-Man and keep him out on the second part of their back-to-back, and if they go this route, Nickeil Alexander-Walker could jump into the T-Wolves first unit and is averaging a modest 9.3 points, 3.2 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 treys, and 1.1 steals in 16 games as a starter this season.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) has officially been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Spurs. After missing Saturday's clash with the Nets due to an ankle sprain, Gobert practiced on Monday and "looked good," according to Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch. However, the team has refrained from declaring him available for Tuesday's game. Naz Reid had 27 minutes off the bench without Gobert on Saturday and would benefit from his absence again. It's a matchup against Victor Wembanyama, who has been terrific defensively during his rookie campaign, but all of the Timberwolves bigs have posted solid numbers in the previous head-to-head meetings this season.
