Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Balanced outing in starting lineup
Rotowire
Anderson ended with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 33 minutes during Monday's 114-104 victory over the Jazz.
Anderson put forth an all-around showing while receiving another start for the Timberwolves, ending as one of five players with 10 or more points to go along with a half-dozen rebounds and a handful of assists in a winning effort. Anderson has surpassed the double-digit scoring mark in 11 games this season, adding at least five rebounds and five assists in four of those outings. Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) remains out indefinitely, Rudy Gobert (ribs) didn't play Monday and Naz Reid (head) left early. If all three of those big men continue to miss time, Anderson will have increased value during the fantasy playoffs.
