Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

Karl-Anthony Towns Could Sit Out Versus Lakers

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a left wrist injury late during their last contest. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wolves might take the cautious approach here. Juan Hernangomez would see an extended role, assuming […]

D'Angelo Russell Drops Game-High 25 Points During Victory

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell remained the focal point of his team's offense during its win Saturday over the Jazz as he compiled a game-best 25 points on 9-for-21 shooting.

Malik Beasley Pours In Game-High 23 Points Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Malik Beasley led all scorers during Wednesday's victory over the Pistons with 23 points on 10-for-18 shooting overall, going 3-for-9 from behind the arc. Beasley's offensive output is even more impressive with the fact that it came in just 27 minutes of action, as he added four rebounds and two assists […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Flirts With Triple-Double In Season Opener

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns got off to a slow start in Wednesday's win over the Pistons, but he ultimately finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists across his 30 minutes.

D'Angelo Russell Will Come Off The Bench Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell has been bumped to the bench for Wednesday's game against Detroit after he was late to shootaround, stemming from a COVID-19 testing delay. Ricky Rubio will enter the starting five, although it's unclear if Russell will also see decreased minutes/usage as a means of discipline. With one cancellation (Oklahoma […]

Fantasy Basketball Third Year Breakout Players

Drafting rookies is always a risk, especially in the “one and done” era that we have with college players now.

Instead of targeting rookies in my drafts, […]

Shop the Sales: 2nd Rounders Who Could Find Quick Success

It's funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". That's not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily […]
