Julius Randle (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against Charlotte. The former Knick missed time because of a groin injury. Fortunately, he returned for the March 2 meeting with the Suns. He played well in that one, finishing with 20 points before dropping 16 points on the Sixers on Tuesday night. With that said, Randle is a must-start for the favorable matchup versus one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Julius Randle (groin) is questionable heading into Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. The former Knick missed 13 games because of a groin injury. But he was back in the lineup for Sunday's win over Phoenix, amassing 20 points and six boards in 33 minutes. With Minnesota playing back-to-back contests on Tuesday and Wednesday, it's possible Randle misses one of those contests. As a result,
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 40.6% shooting from deep in 10 starts this season, could find himself back in the starting lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Julius Randle (groin) will play on Sunday against Phoenix. The 30-year-old missed the last 13 games because of a groin injury. But he'll be back in the lineup, which is great news, considering Minnesota is still without
Rudy Gobert (back). It will likely take Randle a few games to return to form. Still, fantasy managers should add him back to their starting lineups. With that said, Randle's return will likely result in less work for
Donte DiVincenzo and
Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Also,
Naz Reid, who had 27 points in the loss to Utah on Friday, may not be as productive with Randle and
Anthony Edwards (calf) on the floor.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, Minnesota Timberwolves forward
Julius Randle (groin) is expected to return on Sunday night against Phoenix. The former Knick has struggled throughout his time in Minnesota, averaging 18.9 points, his fewest since his final year with the Lakers back in 2017-18. He's also missed the last 13 games because of a groin injury. Randle will likely need at least a few games to ramp up. However, he's a must-start for fantasy managers, especially with
Rudy Gobert (back) ruled out and
Anthony Edwards (calf) questionable. Either way, Randle's return should still result in fewer minutes for
Donte DiVincenzo and
Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
