Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Sniffs double-double in loss
Rotowire
Randle amassed 21 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), eight assists and three rebounds over 37 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
Randle put up a season-low 11 field-goal attempts but still finished as Minnesota's second-leading scorer. The star forward has been efficient of late, scoring 21 or more points in four of his last five games while shooting 50.7 percent from the field over that stretch. He also recorded a game-high eight assists and has dished out at least six in four of his last five appearances.

Timberwolves' Bones Hyland: Posts season high in loss
Rotowire
Hyland produced 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 16 minutes during Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
After logging just one minute across Minnesota's previous eight games, Hyland entered the rotation and made an impact Monday. The 25-year-old guard led the Timberwolves' bench in points en route to a season-high mark, scoring in double figures for just the second time through 15 regular-season appearances. Hyland's strong performance is encouraging, though he isn't guaranteed to see the court every game while competing for minutes with Mike Conley, Rob Dillingham, Jaylen Clark and Terrence Shannon.
Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Pours in 40 points in loss
Rotowire
Edwards contributed 40 points (15-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 38 minutes in Monday's 108-105 loss to the Suns.
Edwards was a late addition to the injury report ahead of Monday's contest due to an illness, though he suited up and erupted for a game-high 40 points on extremely efficient shooting. The superstar guard also matched the game-best mark in rebounds, grabbing a season-high nine boards. After totaling just 26 points over his last two outings, Edwards recorded his fifth game with at least 40 points this season. He has also reached the 30-point threshold in seven of his last 10 appearances.

Edwards (illness) will play in Monday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Rotowire
Shannon (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Suns.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Questionable against Suns
Rotowire
Edwards (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Suns.
Edwards was a very late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, Edwards was not spotted at the morning shootaround, and there's a bug "circling the team." If Edwards can't give it a go, the Timberwolves will need guys like Jaylen Clark, Rob Dillingham and Mike Conley to step up.
Timberwolves' Terrence Shannon: Plays five minutes in win
Rotowire
Shannon totaled two points (1-3 FG) in five minutes during Saturday's 109-106 victory over the Clippers.
Shannon has been a fringe rotation player of late, logging single-digit minutes in three consecutive contests. The second-year swingman has averaged 6.1 points in just 10.7 minutes per game over seven appearances following a nine-game absence due to a left foot bone bruise, and he isn't guaranteed to see significant minutes unless a key contributor gets injured.

Rotowire
Reid recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists over 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 109-106 victory over the Clippers.
The five three-pointers tied his season high, and Reid just missed recording his fourth double-double of 2025-26, and first since Nov. 17. The 26-year-old center has scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 15.4 points, 6.1 boards, 3.3 assists, 3.0 threes, 0.9 steals and 0.9 blocks in 28.3 minutes a contest over that stretch as one of the key pieces of the Timberwolves' second unit.

Rotowire
Randle contributed 24 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-12 FT), three rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 109-106 win over the Clippers.
The veteran forward has scored in double digits in every game this season, but he's cooled down a bit since a strong beginning to 2025-26. Over his last 13 games, Randle's shooting just 44.9 percent from the floor while averaging 21.2 points, 7.4 boards, 5.7 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.9 steals, and he's reached 30 points only once -- a mark he hit four times in his first eight contests.

It was McDaniels' best scoring effort since Oct. 29, when he dropped a season-high 30 on the Lakers. The 25-year-old forward also made his usual impact on the defensive end, recording at least one steal and one block for the sixth time in his last 10 games, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.8 points, 4.8 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.5 threes and 0.8 blocks while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent (15-for-33).
Reid amassed 19 points (6-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 victory over the Pelicans.
Reid played a season-high 33 minutes during Minnesota's win over the Pelicans on Thursday and dished out a team-high six assists. The six assists matched a season high for the 26-year-old center, and he's now done it in back-to-back games while scoring in double figures in 10 of the past 11 games. Reid is averaging 16.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.8 threes, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 27.5 minutes during that time.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Pops off bench
Rotowire
Clark racked up 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 14 minutes during Thursday's 125-116 victory over the Pelicans.
For the fourth game in a row, Clark saw minutes in the teens off the bench. This was his third solid showing in a row, but until the minutes creep up even more, his fantasy appeal is going to be limited to the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Randle had just eight points in regulation during Tuesday's overtime win over the Pelicans, but he was much more aggressive in Thursday's rematch, dropping in 10 points in the first quarter of play. Randle also saw some more shots falling his way with Anthony Edwards getting into some early foul trouble, and he bounced back from three-point range after missing all three of his trey-balls his last time out.
