Nickeil Alexander-Walker - Starting vs. Hornets Alexander-Walker is starting Monday's game against Charlotte.
Impact Alexander-Walker is in line for a spot start due to the absence of Mike Conley (hamstring). Alexander-Walker fared well in his last opportunity to start Jan. 10 against the Celtics, putting up 15 points along with four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 40 minutes.

Anthony Edwards - Gets green light Edwards (illness) will play Monday against the Hornets, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Impact Edwards was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, but he'll push through the aliment and suit up. In January (11 appearances), Edwards is averaging 25.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks in 35.2 minutes per game.

Anthony Edwards - Iffy for Monday Edwards is questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to an illness.
Impact Edwards was a late addition to the injury report, shortly after the Timberwolves ruled Mike Conley out for rest. If Edwards can't shake his illness, Minnesota will need guys like Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jordan McLaughlin to step up. Troy Brown could be an option as well.
JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Conley - Will rest Monday Conley won't play in Monday's game against the Hornets due to rest.
Impact Conley will miss just his second game of the season, but he'll likely return to action Wednesday in Washington, which is the first half of a back-to-back set. The last time Conley was sidelined, Nickeil Alexander-Walker started at point guard.

Timberwolves' turnover struggles persist in loss to Thunder Minnesota committed 21 turnovers, which led to 28 points for Oklahoma City in the 102-97 loss.
JANUARY 21 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Rudy Gobert - Racks up 18 rebounds Gobert totaled seven points (1-6 FG, 5-8 FT), 18 rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Gobert posted 18-plus rebounds for the fifth time this season, and he's now averaging 14.0 rebounds across his last 10 games. The lack of scoring is disappointing from a putback-threat standpoint, especially in the context of Gobert averaging 19.4 points on 72.3 percent shooting across his last five games entering Saturday. Gobert is amid a strong stretch, but his season-long 66.2 percent shooting at the rim is his lowest mark since the 2015-16 campaign.
JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan McLaughlin - Quality contributions in loss McLaughlin provided eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 13 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 loss to the Thunder. He also had no turnovers.
Impact McLaughlin entered Saturday's contest having posted zero points, four rebounds and zero assists in 15 minutes across Minnesota's past two games. McLaughlin adds a synergistic presence in the Timberwolves' backup point guard role, and while the 27-year-old hasn't settled into a rhythm this season due to knee troubles, exceeding a 10-to-20 minute role on any given night is unlikely barring injuries in the backcourt.
JANUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Held in check Saturday Edwards closed with 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-10 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 loss to the Thunder.
Impact Edwards was hounded by Luguentz Dort throughout Saturday's contest, although there was a concerted team effort by Oklahoma City to keep the ball out of Edwards' hands. He still delivered multiple acrobatic finishes and had an opportunity to tie the game with three free throws in the final minute, however he uncharacteristically missed the first two attempts. Opposing defenses have affected Edward's rhythm of late, as Saturday marked his third occasion with 10 or less shots this season, each of which have come in Minnesota's past seven games.
