Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Post 18 points from bench Alexander-Walker chipped in 18 points (6-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 win over Portland.
Impact Alexander-Walker platooned with Mike Conley and finished with a much better number than his teammate thanks to a red-hot performance beyond the arc. It was one of the Virginia Tech product's best games of the season, and his contributions could increase if Conley continues to struggle.

Rudy Gobert - Stellar numbers continue in win Gobert closed Tuesday's 121-109 win over Portland with 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes.
Impact Gobert is on a six-game double-double streak and has hit those milestones against tough competition. He had less trouble against Deandre Ayton and the Portland frontcourt, although Ayton had 16 rebounds to Gobert's 15 boards. Minnesota will match up with Portland again Thursday, and Gobert should enjoy a similar stat line.

Anthony Edwards - Explodes for 41 points Edwards finished with 41 points (16-27 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 victory over the Trail Bl...
Impact Edwards' participation was in doubt leading up to Tuesday's game, but he took the floor and blew up for 41 points despite dealing with a sore knee. Edwards attempted a whopping 27 shots in the win, one less than his season high of 28 attempts. He also recovered from a so-so evening beyond the arc against the Clippers with four drill threes out of eight attempts from long range.

Wendell Moore Jr. - Won't suit up Tuesday Moore (knee) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.
Impact Moore will miss his second straight contest Tuesday after being downgraded from questionable to out due to left knee soreness. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's rematch with Portland.
FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Available to play Tuesday Edwards (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Portland.
Impact Edwards popped up on the injury report with a questionable tag after Monday's game against the Clippers, but it's a good sign that the Timberwolves are allowing him to play in the second leg of this back-to-back set. He had 23 points Monday to go with seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 32 minutes.
FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden McDaniels - Good to go against Portland McDaniels is available for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Impact McDaniels has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left index finger sprain. McDaniels is averaging 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 29.0 minutes across his last five appearances.

Wendell Moore Jr. - Iffy for Tuesday Moore is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers with a sore left knee.
Impact The injury kept Moore from playing in Monday's 121-100 win over the Clippers, but the 2022 first-round pick likely wouldn't have been in store for anything more than garbage-time run if he was active for the contest. If Moore is cleared in advance of Tuesday's contest, he could be in store for some meaningful minutes, though it would be contingent on star guard Anthony Edwards (knee) -- who is listed as questionable -- sitting out the contest.
FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Added to injury report Edwards is questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland due to right knee soreness, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact Edwards' knee soreness is notable in the context of Minnesota closing a back-to-back Tuesday, so his status will need to be monitored. Edwards was appeared on the injury report with left knee tendinitis Jan.16., but his current injury designation is entirely unrelated.

Jaden McDaniels - Returns to injury report McDaniels is questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland due to a left finger sprain.
Impact McDaniels' finger injury is the same issue he has dealt with throughout the past week, but he has yet to miss a game. He posted 11 points (5-8 FG) across 25 minutes of action in Minnesota's convincing win over the Clippers on Monday. Tuesday's contest representing the end of a back-to-back set makes his status worth monitoring.
