Questionable Tuesday Nowell (knee) is questionable to play Tuesday against the Clippers.

Impact Nowell missed Sunday's game with the knee issue, which allowed Nickeil Alexander-Walker to get into the rotation, and it'll be more of the same if he's out again on Tuesday night. However, as long as Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels are healthy, it'll be tough for the reserve wings in Minnesota to make much of an impact in fantasy hoops.

Impact All three of Nowell, Taurean Prince (personal) and Rudy Gobert (illness) have been ruled inactive, so the Timberwolves will have to make some tweaks to their regular rotation. While Nowell hasn't been fantasy-relevant in most leagues this season, he typically sees 15-to-20 minutes off the bench.

Scores 21 points off bench Nowell closed with 21 points (9-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes during Friday's 128-107 loss to Memphis.

Impact Nowell was coming off a 30-point performance as a starter Wednesday against the Jazz, and while he moved back to the bench here, he delivered another impressive outing and cleared the 20-point mark for the sixth time this season. It's hard to see Nowell scoring at this rate on a sustained basis going forward, however, and he's likely to regress sooner rather than later. After all, he's averaging just 10.8 points per game since the start of January.

Impact With D'Angelo Russell scratched ahead of Wednesday's contest and then dealt to the Lakers, Nowell picked up his second start of the season and made the most of the high-usage role he enjoyed alongside Anthony Edwards. The 30-point haul marked a new season high for Nowell, but with the Timberwolves getting back a replacement for Russell in the trade in the form of veteran Mike Conley, Nowell may not have much of an opportunity to build on the big performance. Nowell could pick up another start Friday in Memphis if Conley isn't yet cleared to debut with his new team, but expect the 23-year-old to move back to the bench shortly thereafter.
