Andrew Wiggins and Karl-Anthony Towns Remain Out Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) and center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will both sit Thursday against the Golden State Warriors.

Jarrett Culver and Gorgui Dieng have been the main beneficiaries of the injuries […]
Karl-Anthony Towns is Questionable Against Warriors
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Towns has been sidelined since December 18 due to a knee issue. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wolves won't have a shootaround on Thursday. Gorgui Dieng will continue to see increased fantasy […]
Andrew Wiggins Might Sit Out on Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He's missed each of the last three games with an illness. Kelan Martin would return to the bench and lose most of his streaming appeal if Wiggins is back. The Wolves won't have a shootaround on Thursday, […]
Jeff Teague is Doubtful for Thursday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. There's a good chance that Teague is going to miss multiple games because of his right knee sprain. Jarrett Culver will continue to see increased playing time with the Wolves banged up. He's worth looking at as […]

Gorgui Dieng Continues Strong Stretch With 15-Point Outing
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward/center Gorgui Dieng remained in the starting five in place of Karl-Anthony Towns for Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and logged 15 points despite a 4-for-14 shooting effort. Dieng was limited to just 24 minutes, which should bode well for his playing time in the second leg of the team's back-to-back […]
Shabazz Napier Buries Four Triples Amid 22-Point Outing
Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier led his team in scoring for the second consecutive game with 22 points during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Without Karl-Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins or Jeff Teague active, Napier stepped into starting duties once again and finished 7-for-13 from the field overall and tied his season high with […]
Jaylen Nowell, Naz Reid Shine In Reserve Roles
With injuries tearing through the Minnesota roster, the rookie duo of Jaylen Nowell and Naz Reid combined to provide some offensive thump during Wednesday’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. For Nowell, it was the best outing of his career to this point, dropping a career-high 12 points on 4-for-11 shooting in just 16 minutes. Reid, […]

He fell on his right knee during Monday's game, but was able to play through the issue. Jarrett Culver has seen more playing time and chances with the ball lately. He'll be worth a look as a streaming […]
Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play on Wednesday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's beginning to ramp up activities, but remains without a timetable for his return.

Gorgui Dieng Pulls Down 20 Rebounds In Monday's Win
Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng put together a very good line in Monday's overtime win against Brooklyn, finishing the game with 11 points, 20 rebounds, three steals, two assists, and one block. His 4-for-11 shooting was far from impressive, but it was another solid performance as a starter. Dieng has done a good job filling […]
Jarrett Culver Drops Career-High 21 Points Monday Night
Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Jarrett Culver was one of the key men in Monday's victory over Brooklyn, finishing the game with a career-high 21 points on 8-for-21 shooting. It wasn't an efficient performance, but Culver's shooting percentage is actually even worse for the whole season. He did a decent job from downtown with a 3-for-8 […]

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Shabazz Napier had a very good outing on Monday against Brooklyn, finishing a 122-115 overtime win with a season-high 24 points on 8-for-18 shooting.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/30/19): NBA DFS Lineups
Questionable; it’s the word that will define Monday’s six-game slate. With less than to go nine hours until lock, the top four players on the board, and five of the top six, were all in legitimate danger of missing action Monday. With that in mind, there is sure to be a trickle-down effect in the […]

Deep Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds (Week 11)
Quite a few players have been making a name for themselves during late-December, so make sure you are taking advantage of injuries and ideal streamer plays.

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague shot seven of 14 from the field on his way to 18 points and four assists in 26 minutes off the bench.

Andrew Wiggins is Questionable Against Cavs
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Andrew Wiggins (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wiggins is under the weather, so he'll likely be a game time decision for this one. Jarrett Culver and Josh Okogie would be asked to play big minutes if Wiggins sits out. Both could be deep league streaming […]
