Rudy Gobert - Posts strong double-double Gobert ended with 17 points (8-15 FG, 1-2 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 35 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Gobert posted a stat line similar to the ones he often delivered when he was a member of the Jazz, dominating the glass and contributing defensively while also putting up double-digit points. Gobert has been heavily criticized in his first year with Minnesota, but he remains a valuable fantasy asset due to his ability to produce on both ends of the court. He's only averaging 12.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game while shooting 68.6 percent from the field since the start of January.

Kyle Anderson - Hands out eight assists in loss Anderson recorded 18 points (7-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Wizards.
Impact Anderson stepped his game up and was one of the top contributors for the Timberwolves in this loss, and he ended just two assists shy from a double-double while also posting his third-best mark of the season in that category. A back problem of late has limited Anderson, but he's managed to play in the Timberwolves' last three games while scoring in double digits each time. The All-Star break could be what he needs to get healthy for the stretch run of the regular season.

Anthony Edwards - Goes for 34 points despite loss Edwards ended with 34 points (11-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 loss to the Wizards...
Impact Edwards had an excellent performance and reached the 30-point mark for the third time in his last four contests, but that was not enough to lift the Timberwolves to victory. Despite the team's inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis, Edwards remains a reliable contributor on offense for Minnesota and is averaging 24.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game in February.

Rudy Gobert - Available Thursday Gobert (groin) will play in Thursday's game against the Wizards.

Kyle Anderson - Questionable vs. Wizards Anderson (back) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Wizards.
Impact Anderson remains bothered by back spasms, though he appeared in the Wolves' prior two games and totaled 24 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one block in 41 minutes. If the veteran sits out the final game before the All-Star break, bigger roles could be in store for Taurean Prince, Jaylen Nowell and Jaden McDaniels.

Rudy Gobert - Questionable Thursday Gobert (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Gobert continues to deal with a sore right groin, but he's suited up in the last two matchups and has averaged 14.5 points and 12.0 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per game during that time. If he's sidelined for Minnesota's final game before the All-Star break, Naz Reid should see additional run.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Likely out until mid-to-late March The Timberwolves are hopeful that Towns (calf) will be ready to return to the court at some point during their final "10-to-15 games" of the season, Shams Charania reported Tuesday...
Impact Beyond noting that Towns is expected back before the end of the season, the Timberwolves still haven't firmly committed to a precise timeline for when the star big man might be ready to return from the Grade 3 right calf strain that has sidelined him since Nov. 28. Still, Charania's report offers at least a bit more clarity on that front. If Towns' supposed target return date of the Timberwolves' final 10-to-15 games proves to be accurate, Towns won't be ready to play coming out of the All-Star break but could be back sometime between March 10 through 20. Fantasy managers will probably need to see reports of Towns returning to practice by late February or early March to feel optimistic about that timeline holding, and his managers in redraft leagues who are looking to make up ground in the standings and have limited or no reserve slots available may have to consider dropping him.
