Malik Beasley - Drops 16 off bench against Atlanta Beasley scored 16 points (6-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 0-1 FT) while adding three rebounds and an assist in 31 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Hawks.

Impact It's only the second time in eight games since his shift back to the second unit that Beasley has seen 30 or more minutes of court time, but Minnesota lost two starters during the game, as Patrick Beverley injured his ankle in the first quarter and Anthony Edwards got ejected in the third. If Beverley's injury in particular keeps him sidelined, Beasley could find himself starting again, a move which would be a boost to his fantasy value -- he's averaged 18.8 points, 4.4 threes, 3.4 boards and 2.1 assists in nine starts this season.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Double-double in loss to Hawks Towns scored 17 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and a block in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Hawks.

Impact The center failed to score least 20 points for the first time in six games, but he compensated by tying his season high in assists and producing his 18th double-double of the year. Towns' rebounding is down slightly from his usual standard and he's failing to average a double-double for the first time in his career, but otherwise he's heading for another elite fantasy season.

D'Angelo Russell - Hits for 31 in loss Russell scored 31 points (10-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 6-9 FT) while adding five assists, two rebounds, two steals and a block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 134-122 loss to the Hawks.

Impact He wound up leading the Timberwolves in scoring and helped the team jump out to a 42-26 lead after the first quarter, but when Patrick Beverley left with an ankle injury after only six minutes and then Anthony Edwards got himself ejected in the third quarter, Minnesota saw the win slip through its fingers. Russell has topped 20 points in four of the last seven games, averaging 21.6 points, 8.4 assists, 4.0 threes, 2.4 boards and 1.3 steals over that stretch.

D'Angelo Russell hopes Karl-Anthony Towns can prevent frustration with officials from affecting his play D'Angelo Russell said there's "a time to be rah-rah and rowdy with the refs" while not having it bleed over into every play.

Patrick Beverley - Suffers ankle sprain, won't return Beverley exited Wednesday's game against the Hawks with a sprained right ankle and will not return.

Impact Beverley had zero points (0-2 FG), one rebound and two assists in six minutes before exiting with the injury. He's officially done for the day and will have a few days to recover before Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn.

Jaylen Nowell - Ready for Wednesday Nowell (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Nowell was considered probable with the left ankle sprain and will once again play through the injury. He hasn't appeared hampered by the issue and has totaled 31 points (11-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block over the past two games.

Patrick Beverley - All-around performance in win Beverley ended Tuesday's 112-110 victory over the Knicks with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals across 30 minutes.

Impact Beverley notched his sixth game of the season with at least five points, five rebounds and five assists. He also tied his season high with three steals -- a mark he's reached four times during the 2021-22 campaign. Overall, he's averaging 9.0 points, 5.1 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 26.7 minutes per game. His all-around production makes him a viable option in certain formats.

Anthony Edwards - Scores team-high 21 points Edwards chipped in 21 points (8-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 112-110 win over New York.

Impact Edwards struggled with his three-point shot but was efficient from inside the arc en route to his 23rd outing of at least 20 points this season. Over his last 10 games, the second-year pro is averaging 22.5 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 22.5 minutes per game.

JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Karl-Anthony Towns - Usual production in win Towns closed Tuesday's 112-110 victory over the Knicks with 20 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes.

Impact Towns has scored at least 20 points in five straight games and is averaging 27.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks during that stretch. The emergence of Anthony Edwards could have been concerning for Towns' overall fantasy prospects, but the two stars have been able to coexist in terms of production.

Jaylen Nowell - Scores 14 points off bench Nowell ended with 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Tuesday's 112-110 win over the Knicks.

Impact Nowell landed on the injury report before the contest with a sprained left ankle, but it didn't appear to limit him, as he scored in double figures for the second straight game. Over his last two contests, the 2019 second-round pick has totaled 31 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block while shooting 52.4 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from three. It may be difficult for Nowell to maintain this type of production from a reserve role, but fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye out for the budding young prospect.

JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Naz Reid - Solid production in limited time Reid provided nine points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 112-110 win over the Knicks.

Impact With the Timberwolves' frontcourt back to full strength, Reid continues to garner 10 to 20 minutes per game. Over his last seven games, the big man is averaging 6.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 12.4 minutes. While he's relatively productive during his limited playing time, Reid likely isn't worth fantasy consideration in his current role.
