Minnesota Timberwolves DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (shoulder) suffered a dislocated right shoulder and has been ruled out for the game against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. According to Fred Katz of The Athletic, the MRI results still haven't come back to determine any ligament damage. Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the X-rays didn't show much in terms of bone damage though. Whether or not he'll have to miss extended time will come down to what they see on the MRI. In the meantime, Josh Hart will likely see a big bump in minutes while Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims will also see some added minutes off of the bench. Hart would be the better streaming option since he'll be the most likely to get consistent opportunities.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard has now missed three of the last four games. Nickeil Alexander-Walker is expected to move into the starting five with Conley out. He'll be worth a look as a deep league streaming option. Jordan McLaughlin and Shake Milton should see additional minutes off the bench. However, neither of them will likely do enough to warrant streaming on Saturday.

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says guard Mike Conley (illness) is out on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards. Downgraded from questionable to out while under the weather on Wednesday, Conley sets his sights toward returning on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets for the second outing of Minnesota's four-game road trip after missing Monday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets for rest purposes. Nickeil Alexander-Walker would figure to stay in the T-Wolves' starting lineup at the point, logging a season-high 18 points with four treys in 30 minutes during Monday's spot start. Anthony Edwards matched a season high by dishing out 11 assists against the Hornets and should function as Minny's primary facilitator on Wednesday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have added guard Mike Conley (illness) to the injury report and downgraded him to questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. Conley appeared to be good to go after dodging Minnesota's initial injury report on Tuesday, but he's come down with an illness as of Wednesday morning. Look for the veteran point guard's status to be updated closer to Wednesday's tip-off, which comes early enough at 7:00 p.m. EST for DFS players to be able to adjust their lineups accordingly. If Conley's illness proves to be enough to hold him out of action against a pitiful Wizards team, Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be in line for a second consecutive start at the one after playing 30 minutes when Conley rested in Monday's upset loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have removed Mike Conley (rest) from their injury report ahead of Wednesday's tilt against the Washington Wizards. Conley rested for the second time this year in Tuesday's shocking home loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but he'll be back in Minnesota's lineup on Wednesday. The former All-Star floor general is bringing in top-75 fantasy numbers in nine-category leagues as a reliable two-way presence at the point for the first-place T-Wolves, but he has scored in single digits during eight of his last 10 outings. Conley hopes Wednesday's soft matchup against a 7-35 Wizards team gets him back on track. Nickeil Alexander-Walker posted a season-high 18 points and drained four triples in 30 minutes during Tuesday's spot start at the one, but expect him to revert to Minny's second unit on Wednesday.
