Minnesota Timberwolves News and Rumors Page 206 - NBA

Luka Garza - Ties season-high 16 points Garza posted 16 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and four rebounds across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Rudy Gobert (groin) sat out Wednesday's loss, allowing Garza to see backup center minutes behind Naz Reid. Garza has played sparingly this season, but this is the second time he's reached his season-high 16 points. The former Iowa standout isn't an add in any fantasy leagues, as he's on a two-way deal and is essentially fighting for a job whenever he gets a chance to play.

Taurean Prince - Questionable Thursday Prince is considered questionable for Thursday's game versus the Raptors due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Prince was listed as questionable for Wednesday's game as well before suiting up, but it remains to be seen if he will be ready for both ends of the back-to-back set. The team should release more information on Prince's status closer to the 8:00 p.m. ET tipoff.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Austin Rivers - Questionable vs. Raptors Rivers (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Raptors.

Impact Rivers sat out Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets with a bruised left knee, which may cause him to remain out Thursday. Rudy Gobert (groin), Anthony Edwards (hip) and Taurean Prince (ankle) are also questionable.

Rudy Gobert - Questionable Thursday Gobert (groin) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Gobert has been dealing with a sore right groin and sat out Wednesday against the Nuggets, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's unavailable once again, Naz Reid should continue to see increased run.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Edwards - Questionable vs. Raptors Edwards (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Edwards continues to battle hip soreness but has yet to miss a game this season. In January, he's averaging 23.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 33.4 minutes.

Naz Reid - Puts up 17 points in relief Reid provided 17 points (4-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Although Reid came nowhere close to Rudy Gobert's (groin) voluminous rebound totals, he was able to draw plenty of fouls, resulting in nine points from the charity stripe. The 6-foot-9 center has a three-point stroke that can surprise you, and although he didn't convert any in the loss, he averages 2.8 shot attempts from beyond the arc per game and sports a conversion rate of 33.6 percent.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

D'Angelo Russell - Struggles in loss Russell finished with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and seven assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Russell's shot accuracy wasn't an issue, but his shot volume really hurt his numbers in the loss. Russell has occasionally shown difficulty getting involved in the offense, and although he logged seven assists to partially salvage his stat line, Jamal Murray was able to contain Russell's ability to create his own scoring opportunities.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kyle Anderson - Flirts with triple-double Anderson racked up 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 122-118 loss to Denver.

Impact Anderson's value spiked initially when Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) was injured, but with Rudy Gobert (groin) also sidelined, Anderson's fantasy vale has gone through the roof. The veteran was unable to break away from the crowded depth chart in Memphis, but his outstanding play in relief will win him more minutes with the Timberwolves, even after Minnesota's big men return to action.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • YOUTUBE

Taurean Prince - Active Wednesday Prince (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's game against Denver.

Impact Prince has dealt with ongoing left ankle issues but has managed to play through the injury and will do so again Wednesday. In his last three contests, Prince has averaged 11.7 points and 1.0 steals over 22.4 minutes.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Edwards - Good to go Wednesday Edwards (hip) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with the Nuggets.

Impact Edwards has been dealing with discomfort in his left hip over the last week or two but has managed to take the floor for every game this season. With Rudy Gobert (groin) sidelined, Edwards could be in line for more usage Wednesday night.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Austin Rivers - Officially ruled out Rivers (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact Rivers has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a left knee contusion. His next chance to suit up is Thursday's game versus the Raptors.

JANUARY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Naz Reid - Will start Wednesday Reid will be part of the first unit for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact As expected, Reid will draw the start with Rudy Gobert (groin) absent for Wednesday's tilt. He immediately becomes a top option in daily formats and should not be left on waivers considering he has averaged 20.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals over 29.6 minutes per game as a starter this season.
