Jaylen Nowell - Expected to return Sunday Coach Chris Finch said Saturday that he expects Nowell (ankle) to play Sunday against the Warriors, Jace Frederick of St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. He is officially questionable.
Impact Nowell missed Thursday's matchup against the Grizzlies but practiced Saturday after participating in Thursday's shootaround. As a result, it appears as though the 22-year-old could return following a one-game absence.

Jarred Vanderbilt - Grabs team-high 13 boards Vanderbilt contributed eight points (4-5 FG) and 13 rebounds across 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-108 loss to Memphis.
Impact Vanderbilt has registered double-digit rebounds 16 times this season, including at least 13 boards 10 times. On the season, he's averaging 6.6 points and 9.2 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game, but his fantasy potential is limited with Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell handling most of the offensive production. Either way, Vanderbilt's energy and nose for the ball make him a high-floor option in most formats.

Patrick Beverley - Struggles to score in loss Beverley accumulated three points (1-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals in 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Beverley struggled to score, but he impacted the game in other areas. He finished third on the team with eight boards and tied D'Angelo Russell with a team-high six assists. The veteran point guard also registered multiple steals and multiple blocks in the same game for just the third time all season.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Karl-Anthony Towns - All-around performance in loss Towns recorded 25 points (11-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Thursday's 116-108 loss to Memphis.
Impact Towns was 9-for-11 from inside the arc en route to his 20th game with at least 25 points. The star big man fell one rebound shy of his 17th double-double and blocked multiple shots for the 13th this season. On the year, he's averaging 24.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals in 34.7 minutes per game.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Scores team-high 30 points Edwards amassed 30 points (9-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 116-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Edwards notched his first 30-point outing since dropping 38 on Dec. 15 against the Nuggets. He continues to stay hot from three and is shooting 37.4 percent from beyond the arc on 8.8 attempts per game. On the season, the second-year pro is averaging 22.6 points, 5.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 35.5 minutes and continues to be one of the bright young stars in the league.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
D'Angelo Russell - Stays hot from three Russell notched 29 points (11-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block in 35 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 116-108 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Russell scored at least 20 points for the third time in his last four games and is shooting 54.3 percent from three during those contests. For most of the season, he's deferred to Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards, but the Timberwolves will need all three of their stars clicking if they want to reach their full potential. On Sunday, Russell will look to stay hot against the Warriors -- his former team.
