Edwards scores 32, Wolves rally from 17 down to beat Heat 112-108 and improve to 20-5
Anthony Edwards scored 32 points, Karl-Anthony Towns added 18 and the Minnesota Timberwolves clamped down in the second half to beat the Miami Heat 112-108 on Monday nightDECEMBER 19, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Josh Minott - Cleared for action Minott (illness) is available for Monday's game against Miami.
Impact Minott will return from a one-game absence due to illness. The Timberwolves' frontcourt is at full strength, so the 21-year-old is unlikely to see meaningful playing time.
DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden McDaniels - Suiting up Monday McDaniels (sacral issue) will play Monday against Miami, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact McDaniels is active Monday after suffering a lower spine/tailbone bruise in Saturday's win over the Pacers. Playing on normal rest bodes well for the 23-year-old is, so he should be in line for his typical workload Monday.

Anthony Edwards - Will play Monday Edwards (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Heat, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact Edwards tallied 37 points (14-23 FG), four assists, two rebounds and three steals in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over Indiana, but he continues to battle a lingering hip injury. Given his performance Saturday, it's safe to expect Edwards to have a full workload Monday, but fantasy managers should monitor the All-Star's status until he's completely removed from the injury report.
DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Minott - Questionable for Monday Minott (illness) is questionable Monday against Miami.
Impact Minott is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to illness. He hasn't been a relevant factor in Minnesota's rotation regardless, logging six total minutes of court time across his past nine healthy games.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden McDaniels - Listed as questionable McDaniels is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat due to a sacral contusion, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact McDaniels left Saturday's game against the Pacers after just 18 minutes due to the injury. If McDaniels is sidelined, Kyle Anderson, Troy Brown and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased roles.

Anthony Edwards - Iffy for Monday Edwards is questionable for Monday's game against the Heat.
Impact Edwards played 34 minutes during Saturday's win over Indiana, posting 37 points, four assists, two rebounds and three steals. However, before that game, he appeared in just three of Minnesota's previous six games, averaging 8.7 points on 18.9 percent from the field during that stretch. It looks like Edwards is turning a corner with the hip issue, but fantasy managers should still monitor his status closely.

Naz Reid - Efficient off bench Saturday Reid contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 win over the Pacers.
Impact Reid continues to make an impact when coming off the bench, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's been one of the most productive second-unit players in the Western Conference, and perhaps in the entire league. Reid has been a regular scoring alternative for the TImberwolves despite his secondary role, and he's averaging 15.1 points per game over his last 10 games while scoring in double digits eight times in that span.

Anthony Edwards - Bounces back against Indiana Edwards logged 37 points (14-23 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 win over Indiana.
Impact Edwards was coming off one of the worst shooting performances of his career after posting nine points (3-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT) across 35 minutes in a win over the Mavericks, but he bounced back admirably in this one and notched his second-best scoring output of the campaign. Edwards can be a dominant presence on offense if he's at his best, and it seems the nine-point outing against Dallas was nothing more than a step in the wrong direction for one of the best scorers in the league. Edwards is averaging 22.0 points per game over his last 10 contests.
DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Karl-Anthony Towns - Shines against Indiana Towns notched 40 points (15-25 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 victory over the Pacers.
Impact The Timberwolves endured a rough start Saturday but eventually managed to turn things around and secure a rather comfortable win. Towns played a prominent role for the team on both ends of the court, carrying the team on offense in the early stages and also contributing defensively. Towns has found a way to work efficiently and effectively alongside Rudy Gobert, and his numbers back that up. He has four double-doubles in six December contests while averaging 24.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in that span.
