Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Iffy for Monday's contest
Reid is questionable for Monday's game in New York due to left calf soreness.
Despite battling the sore calf, Reid scored a team-high 22 points off the bench during Saturday's loss to Toronto, but he finds himself on the injury report again. He's appeared in three straight games, including a back-to-back set, and has averaged 17.0 points and 4.3 rebounds during that stretch, so barring a turn for the worse, it seems safe to expect Reid to suit up Monday. However, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm his availability ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tip.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable Monday
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in New York.
Gobert has been listed as "questionable" the past four games for the Timberwolves, but he's been powering through the ankle issue, so he feels a bit closer to "probable." He'll likely be a game-time call Monday night, but if he's not able to give it a go, Naz Reid (calf) would make for a quality streamer.

Timberwolves' Austin Rivers: Dealing with back spasms
Rivers is questionable for Monday's game in New York due to back spasms.
Rivers continues to battle back spasms, and even when he's been available, he hasn't garnered a prominent role in head coach Chris Finch's rotation. If he's sidelined, Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to see increased roles behind Mike Conley.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Iffy for Monday
Edwards (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup with the Knicks.
Edwards missed Saturday's loss to the Raptors due to the sprained right ankle, which resulted in Taurean Prince getting a spot start and Jaden McDaniels taking on a more proactive role on offense. Edwards will test his ankle at shootaround, but don't be surprised if he winds up being a game-time call ahead of Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Unlikely to play Monday
Nowell (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game in New York.
Nowell will likely miss an 11th straight game Monday due to left knee tendinitis. He currently doesn't have a return timetable, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hawks.

Timberwolves' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Modest production in loss
Alexander-Walker registered four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to the Raptors.
Since the All-Star break (11 games), Alexander-Walker has averaged 8.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals-plus-blocks in 20.5 minutes. As long as Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Anthony Edwards (ankle) remain out, Alexander-Walker is a candidate for a solid reserve role, but his production has been too sporadic to trust on a nightly basis.

Timberwolves' Jordan McLaughlin: Team-high eight assists off bench
McLaughlin closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and eight assists in 24 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to the Raptors.
McLaughlin played his most minutes since Dec. 3 and dished out a team-high eight assists, though he did tie his season high with three turnovers. The undrafted point guard out of USC still hasn't scored in double figures since returning from a two-month injury absence at the beginning of February and has averaged just 3.7 points, 2.8 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per game over his past 17 appearances.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Out of boot, day-to-day
Edwards (ankle) is no longer in a walking boot and is considered day-to-day, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Edwards isn't out of the woods yet, but this is certainly encouraging news after the third-year forward left Friday's loss to Chicago in a lot of pain. His status for Monday's matchup in New York won't be known until Minnesota releases its next injury report, which should drop sometime Sunday afternoon. If he's still sidelined for that matchup, he'll have two more chances -- Wednesday versus Atlanta and Sunday against Golden State -- to suit up next week.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Lone bright spot in loss
Reid recorded 22 points (8-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 loss to Toronto.
Reid came off the bench and scored a team-high 22 points, but it wasn't enough as the Timberwolves struggled to find any offensive consistency without Anthony Edwards (ankle). Over his past three appearances, Reid has averaged 17.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 21.3 minutes per game.

Timberwolves' Taurean Prince: Starting for injured Edwards
Prince will start Saturday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
With Anthony Edwards (ankle) missing his first game of the season Saturday, Prince will get the nod. It's unclear when Edwards, who is in a walking boot, will return, so Prince could earn more starts beyond this weekend. In two previous starts, Prince has averaged 9.5 points, 6.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 25.5 minutes.

Timberwolves' Austin Rivers: Available Saturday
Rivers (back) is available for Saturday's game at Toronto.
Despite back spasms, Rivers will appear in a second straight game. He could be in for an expanded role, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is missing his first game of the season Saturday and is still in a walking boot.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Out vs. Raptors
Nowell (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
As expected, Nowell will be sidelined for a tenth consecutive matchup Saturday, with his next chance to play arriving Monday. His presence is especially important at the moment, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is in a boot, and it's not clear when he'll be back.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Available at Toronto
Reid (calf) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Despite some calf soreness, Reid will see the floor Saturday. Since the All-Star break, the reserve big has averaged 14.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 20.4 minutes.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Available Saturday
Gobert (ankle) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Despite a lingering ankle injury, Gobert will appear in a ninth straight game. Over the past eight, he's averaged 16.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.8 minutes.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Still in boot, out Saturday
Edwards (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Raptors. Coach Chris Finch noted the guard is still in a boot, and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
A sprained right ankle suffered during Friday's loss to the Bulls will force Edwards to miss his first game of the season Saturday, and he may miss time beyond the weekend, given he's still in a boot. For the duration of the guard's absence, Austin Rivers (back), Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are candidates to see expanded roles. Mike Conley and Kyle Anderson should take on extra playmaking responsibilities as well.

Timberwolves' Austin Rivers: Questionable Saturday
Rivers (back) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Rivers returned from a three-game absence Friday to play just seven minutes, and his back spasms have flared back up. With Jaylen Nowell (knee) doubtful and Anthony Edwards (ankle) questionable, more backcourt minutes could be in store for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jordan McLaughlin.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Questionable Saturday
Reid (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Reid is at risk of missing the closing end of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set Saturday after logging 25 minutes in Friday's loss to the Bulls. He has dealt with lingering soreness in his left calf throughout the past week but has played through the injury in the last two contests. With Rudy Gobert (ankle) also questionable, Nathan Knight could be thrust into a significant role if one of Reid or Gobert sits.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Questionable at Toronto
Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Gobert is dealing with a lingering ankle injury and could be part of a reduced Timberwolves crew Saturday, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is also questionable. Naz Reid's (calf) status is in question as well, so if both centers are out, Nathan Knight could see extra run.
