Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Randle contributed 20 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 120-106 win over the Wizards.
The veteran forward posted his eighth double-double of the season while finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Anthony Edwards (41 points). Randle has been fairly successful with his new club, and he has recorded 20-plus points in 22 of his 39 regular-season appearances thus far. The 30-year-old is also on pace to shoot 35.0 percent from beyond the arc, which would be the second-highest mark of his 11-year career.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Sniffs triple-double
Rotowire
Randle racked up 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-125 loss to the Grizzlies.
Anthony Edwards struggled with his shot and Donte DiVincenzo carried the Timberwolves in this loss, but Randle's contributions can't go unnoticed. He was efficient with his shot and also ended just two rebounds and two assists away from a triple-double. Randle should continue to post solid numbers on both ends of the court as long as he stays healthy.

Randle produced 16 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 104-97 victory over New Orleans.
Randle had a solid showing on both ends of the court Tuesday, though his performance wasn't eye-popping by any means. Randle at least bounced back from the five-point effort he delivered in Monday's win over the Clippers, but he's failed to reach the 20-point mark in five of his last six games.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Decent output in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Randle posted 17 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds and six assists over 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Pistons.
Randle was the only Minnesota player not named Anthony Edwards who scored in double digits in this game, and all things considered, Randle had an efficient performance while making his presence felt on both ends of the court. As good as he looked Saturday, fantasy managers might have some reason to be concerned with Randle's recent performances. The star forward has failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his previous four outings, and he's struggled all season long to replicate the numbers he had been posting in recent years with the Knicks.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Puts up team-high 24 points
Rotowire
Randle contributed 24 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Thursday's 133-107 loss to the Knicks.
Even though Karl-Anthony Towns stole the show when it comes to star players facing his former team, Randle delivered a solid outing in his own right as well. He led Minnesota in scoring and reached the 20-point mark for the third time across his last six appearances. The lack of consistency might affect his fantasy upside a bit, but more often than not, Randle has been Minnesota's second-best offensive option behind Julius Randle. He's averaging 17.7 points per game since the beginning of December.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Double-double in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Randle posted 14 points (4-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to Golden State.
The veteran forward hasn't been the same double-double machine in Minnesota that he was with the Knicks, as Sunday's effort was just his fourth in his first 23 games for the Timberwolves. Randle's scoring has also tailed off a bit of late, and over the last five games, he's averaging just 15.8 points a contest on 42.2 percent shooting from the floor to go along with 7.8 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.2 threes and 0.8 steals.

Over that span, Randle is averaging 21.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting 48 percent from the field. Randle's role as the Timberwolves' second-best option on offense is pretty much set in stone, but it's a good sign that he's appearing when the team needs him the most.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Snaps impressive scoring stretch
Rotowire
Randle registered 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 93-92 victory over the Clippers.
This was the first time Randle failed to reach the 20-point threshold since Nov. 12, when he also scored a season-low 11 points in a loss to the Trail Blazers. However, the veteran forward salvaged his fantasy output with his third double-double of the campaign. Randle has settled well into the Timberwolves' offensive scheme and is averaging 20.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per contest across his last 10 appearances.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Puts up another 20-point game
Rotowire
Randle finished with 21 points (8-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-104 loss to Sacramento.

His 2.9 turnovers per game on the season as a whole are problematic for fantasy managers in nine-category leagues, but Randle is shooting 80.3 percent from the foul line in 18 games this year following Wednesday's perfect night at the charity stripe, which would be his highest mark since the 2020-21 campaign. Still, the 29-year-old star forward remains a more appealing fantasy option overall in points leagues as he continues to acclimate to life in Minnesota after spending the past five years with the Knicks.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Disappointing numbers Tuesday
Rotowire
Randle produced 11 points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The Timberwolves didn't perform well as a group Tuesday, but there's a solid argument to say Randle was among the most disappointing players in this 14-point defeat. Randle continues to adjust to a new team, teammates and scheme following his offseason trade from New York to Minnesota, and the lack of consistency remains an issue even if he has had some decent games from time to time. He's failed to reach the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances, however, averaging 17.0 points and shooting 42.6 percent from the field in that span.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Adjustment to new team continues
Rotowire
Randle totaled 17 points (6-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 95-94 loss to the Heat.
The veteran forward continues to put up solid, if somewhat disappointing, numbers for the Timberwolves. While Randle's efficiency has gone up -- he's shooting 53.1 percent from the floor, his best mark since 2017-18, and 40.9 percent from three-point range, his best performance since 2020-21 -- his usage has gone down compared to his last few years with the Knicks, and he has yet to attempt 20 shots in a game for Minnesota. Randle's 6.7 boards a game is also on pace for a career low, as he's never finished a season below 8.0. As the third wheel on a team with Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert in well-defined roles, this level of production may be the new normal for Randle.
