Timberwolves' three-point production improves after early season struggles The Wolves have been shooting nearly 40% on threes in January, which they attribute to better chemistry and shot selection.
Jaden McDaniels - Returns to contest Monday McDaniels returned to Monday's contest against the Kings, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Impact The forward exited Monday's matchup in the first quarter but is back with the team for the start of the second quarter. The forward appears to be all clear of injury, but fantasy managers should still check in on his status for his next contest Wednesday against the Warriors.

Jaden McDaniels - Exits Monday's contest early McDaniels exited Monday's contest against the Kings early and went to the locker room, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Impact The extent of the forward's injury is unknown at this time. If McDaniels is ultimately forced time miss time, the likes of Taurean Prince, Naz Reid and Austin Rivers figure to receive more playing time.

Taurean Prince - Cleared to play Prince (ankle) is available to play Monday against the Kings.
Impact Prince was listed on the injury report as questionable due to an ankle sprain, but he's been given the green light to take the court after missing his squad's last four matchups. He's averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists in his last five appearances.
JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Starting Monday Gobert (groin) is starting Monday's contest against the Kings.
Impact After being viewed as questionable, Gobert will officially make his fifth straight appearance for the Timberwolves. The 30-year-old center is averaging 12.3 points, 11.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks over 29.6 minutes across his first 12 appearances in January. He may still be dealing with some lingering discomfort in his groin, but for now fantasy managers should feel comfortable starting Gobert in weekly leagues.

Wendell Moore Jr. - Back to NBA Minnesota recalled Moore to the NBA club from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Monday.
Impact The Timberwolves elevated Moore, Luka Garza, Matt Ryan and Josh Minott to the NBA club, and all four of them will be available for Monday's matchup against Sacramento. Across 20 NBA appearances (two starts), Moore is averaging 1.6 points in 5.6 minutes per game.
JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Minott - Recalled by Minnesota Minott was recalled from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Monday.
Impact Minott has been shuffled between the G League and parent club recently, and he'll be available for Minnesota's game against the Kings on Monday after a one-game stint with Iowa. He's averaging just 1.4 points in 2.3 minutes per game over seven NBA appearances this year.
JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Luka Garza - Transferred to parent club Minnesota transferred Garza to the NBA club from the G League's Iowa Wolves on Monday.
Impact The Timberwolves elevated Garza, Matt Ryan, Josh Minott and Wendell Moore from the G League, and all four of them will be available for Monday's matchup against Sacramento. Across 17 NBA appearances, Garza is averaging 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 7.9 minutes, but he may see an increased role against the Kings if Rudy Gobert (groin) is downgraded to out.
JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Ryan - Back with parent club Ryan was transferred from the G League's Iowa Wolves to the parent club Monday.
Impact Ryan was sent to the G League on Friday and saw plenty of run for Iowa over the weekend. He'll be available for the Timberwolves' game against Sacramento on Monday but is averaging just 3.4 points in 9.0 minutes per game with the parent club this season.

Taurean Prince - Questionable Monday Prince (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.
Impact Prince has missed the last four games due to a left ankle sprain, but he'll be in the mix to return against Sacramento. If he's unavailable once again, Naz Reid and Nathan Knight could see a slight uptick in playing time.
JANUARY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Questionable against Kings Gobert (groin) is questionable for Monday's game against Sacramento.
Impact Gobert has been dealing with a sore right groin recently but has appeared in the last four games, averaging 13.0 points and 13.8 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game. If he'd be unavailable Monday, Naz Reid would presumably see increased run for Minnesota.

D'Angelo Russell - Strong production continues Russell finished with 25 points (8-14 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 win over the Kings.
Impact Russell continues to play his best basketball of the season, cobbling together another strong performance. He has now scored at least 19 points in six consecutive games, dishing up at least six assists in all six games. He has been a borderline top-35 player over the past month, bringing his season rank up to 53. Despite all the naysayers, it's been a relatively encouraging season for Russell, numerically his best season in quite some time.
JANUARY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Nowell - Negligible role continues Nowell logged four points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 18 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 victory over the Kings.
Impact Nowell was limited off the bench once again Saturday, scoring fewer than 10 points for the sixth time in his past seven games. After an encouraging start to the season, Nowell has been unable to carve out a significant role for himself, basically providing nothing more than an occasional scoring punch off the bench. While he will pop from time to time, he in not consistent enough to warrant any real attention outside of deeper formats.
JANUARY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Pops for 14 points Saturday Reid notched 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds in 13 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 win over the Kings.
Impact Reid scored 14 points in 13 minutes, though he offered little else outside of the points column. With Rudy Gobert back in the fold, Reid has shifted back to the bench, rendering him a non-factor in fantasy. He is always a player to monitor given what he can do when handed a sizeable role. Unfortunately, that is only going to come if and when Gobert is out.
