Minnesota Timberwolves DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (knee) will suit up ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The young guard was a late addition to the injury report due to right knee soreness. Despite that, Edwards will suit up and there is no indication that he'll be limited at all during this game. Edwards should resume his role in the starting five which means fantasy managers should feel safe plugging him back into their lineups.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) will play on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers after being upgraded from questionable to available. He originally injured his finger on Thursday and could only play 19 minutes in a 24-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He registered eight points, three rebounds, two blocks, and one turnover in that contest. McDaniels hasn't exactly been the best fantasy asset outside of points and field goal percentage, so he hasn't been viable outside of the deepest leagues. He remains in the starting five though so he does receive plenty of opportunities on a nightly basis and serves as a stronger streaming option when others are out of the lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) is regarded as questionable for Monday's matchup versus the Clippers. The 23-year-old hurt his left index finger against Milwaukee on Thursday and might have to come out of the lineup for the first time since Dec. 8. Nickeil Alexander-Walker was McDaniels' replacement in the starting unit the last time he was unavailable. Kyle Anderson should also get a few extra minutes without him. Alexander-Walker has logged 10 starts in total across the season, registering 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) had eight points, three rebounds, and two blocks in Thursday's win over the shorthanded Bucks. However, he suffered a left index finger sprain during the contest, ending his night after only 19 minutes of work. The 23-year-old isn't always the most reliable contributor in any statistical category. Still, he's been instrumental to Minnesota's success this season, primarily due to his contributions on the defensive end. Fortunately, the Timberwolves aren't back in action until Monday evening versus the Los Angeles Clippers, so there's a chance he'll be better by then. But if McDaniels can't go, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 9.3 points and 1.1 steals in 16 starts this season, would presumably fill the void in the rotation.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. The big man has been cleared to play after being listed as questionable heading into the contest. Gobert was dealing with a left ankle sprain but is expected to play his normal role on Sunday. He'll play alongside Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, and Karl-Anthony Towns. Fantasy managers can feel safe plugging Gobert back into their lineups on Sunday.
