Rudy Gobert - Rejoins starting five Gobert is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Impact As expected, Gobert will rejoin the starting unit for Wednesday's contest after clearing the NBA's health and safety protocols Tuesday. The big man is averaging 12.6 points, 13.9 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 32.2 minutes per contest this season.

Kyle Anderson - Returns to bench against Suns Anderson isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Anderson had started the team's previous two games due to Rudy Gobert being out while in health and safety protocols. Anderson averaged 12.5 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals in 28.0 minutes across his two starts.
NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Rivers - Ruled out Wednesday Rivers won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns due to an illness, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Impact Rivers received a season-high 16 minutes in Monday's loss to the Knicks. However, with him out Wednesday, Jordan McLaughlin, Jaylen Nowell and possibly Bryn Forbes should see extended backcourt minutes off the bench. Rivers' next opportunity to play will be Friday versus the Grizzlies.

Rudy Gobert - Not on injury report Gobert (Covid-19 protocols) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Gobert practiced Tuesday and was already expected to play, so this news further cements that outcome. The star big man will presumably retake his starting spot in the frontcourt alongside Karl-Anthony Towns on Wednesday, likely sending Kyle Anderson back to the bench.

Rudy Gobert - Expected to play Wednesday Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to play Wednesday against the Suns, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
Impact After two missed games, Gobert returned to practice Tuesday, and there seems to be little concern regarding his conditioning. It's possible he still ends up on the injury report as probable, but coach Chris Finch indicated Gobert should be fine. He should re-join the starters, pushing Kyle Anderson back to the bench.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Practices Tuesday Gobert (COVID-19 protocols) cleared protocols and practiced Tuesday, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.
Impact After missing the past two games, there's a good chance Gobert will be available Wednesday. He may need to work on his conditioning, but information about that should emerge if it's an issue. Expect the Timberwolves to release an official status on his availability after practice Tuesday or sometime after shootaround Wednesday.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Grabs season-high 13 boards Towns racked up 25 points (9-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Towns scored at least 20 points for an eighth consecutive contest and grabbed a season-high 13 rebounds during the loss. The talented big man also tied his season high with seven assists, a mark he's reached five times through 11 games. On the season, the veteran is averaging 22.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 35.5 minutes per game. He'll look to maintain his strong play against the Suns on Wednesday.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Anderson - Balances performance in loss Anderson finished Monday's 120-107 loss to New York with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 25 minutes.
Impact Anderson managed to contribute across the board in the loss, providing one of the very few bright spots for the Timberwolves. With Rudy Gobert in the health and safety protocols, Anderson has been able to slide into an increased role. While he doesn't offer a ton of upside, his ability to chip in across multiple categories does make him a name to consider in the short term.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bryn Forbes - Makes rare appearance Monday Forbes accumulated three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one assist and one steal over eight minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Forbes saw action for just the seventh time this season, logging eight garbage time minutes in the loss. The Timberwolves certainly don't look to be a cohesive unit at the moment, highlighted by what was another disappointing loss. While Forbes can have some limited streaming appeal when given ample playing time, there is no indication that will be happening anytime soon.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden McDaniels - Decline in production continues McDaniels closed with six points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 17 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 120-107 loss to the Knicks.
Impact McDaniels fouled out in just 17 minutes Monday, continuing what has been a steady decline over the past few games. He opened the season with a flurry, providing elite defensive numbers while chipping in on the offensive end. However, he has now accumulated just one steal and two blocks over the past four games, scoring a total of just 32 points. He remains a hold in standard formats, but managers will want to keep an eye on his trajectory moving forward.
NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Scores 11 points in 18 minutes Reid finished with 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Monday's 120-107 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Reid continues to see additional run with Rudy Gobert in the health and safety protocols. Despite the opportunity, Reid has not been able to move the fantasy needle all too much. He currently sits outside the top 180, and given his inability to cash in over the past couple of games, he should not be viewed as a viable commodity outside of deeper leagues.

Impact Gobert landed in health and safety protocols Saturday and will a second straight game after playing through what was described as a non-COVID illness Friday. In Gobert's absence, Naz Reid and Taurean Prince are candidates for increased roles, but Karl Anthony-Towns figures to take on added usage as well.
