Rotowire
Anderson registered seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 115-101 win over the Pacers.

Anderson (back) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with the Pacers, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Rotowire
Anderson finished Monday's 120-107 loss to New York with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes.
Anderson managed to contribute across the board in the loss, providing one of the very few bright spots for the Timberwolves. With Rudy Gobert in the health and safety protocols, Anderson has been able to slide into an increased role. While he doesn't offer a ton of upside, his ability to chip in across multiple categories does make him a name to consider in the short term.

Timberwolves' Kyle Anderson: Productive in starting role
Rotowire
Anderson ended with 16 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 129-117 win over the Rockets.
Anderson logged his first start of the season, sliding into the opening five with Rudy Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) ruled out. It was a vintage performance from Anderson, contributing on both ends of the floor. Based on the result here, there is a good chance he sticks in the starting lineup until Gobert makes it back on the floor. If that is the case, he could be worth a look as a short-term addition in 12-team formats.

Rotowire
Anderson finished Sunday's 107-98 loss to the Spurs with two points (2-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 12 minutes.
Anderson saw just 13 minutes off the bench in his return to action Sunday, producing very little. While he is slated to play a key role as a member of the second unit, there is very little reason to think he can be anything more than a deeper league asset.
