Anthony Edwards - Shooting woes continue Tuesday Edwards closed with 21 points (5-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 11-11 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 win over Houston.
Impact Edwards continues to put up strong numbers every time he steps on the court, but his recent performances have been a bit subpar compared to his overall season-long numbers. He's failed to surpass the 25-point mark in six consecutive games, but perhaps what's even more concerning is the fact that he's shooting a mere 38.6 percent from the field, as well as 18.8 percent from deep, during that stretch.

Rudy Gobert - Posts another double-double Gobert had 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 FT), 14 rebounds and two blocks in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 win over the Rockets.
Impact The towering Frenchman registered a fifth straight double-double while also recording multiple blocks for the third time in that stretch. During that five-game stretch, Gobert is averaging 16.0 points, 12.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game during that five-game stretch in which he's had to step his game up on the defensive end of the floor with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined.

Naz Reid - Hits 20-point mark again Reid closed with 25 points (10-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 113-106 win over the Rockets.
Impact Reid has adjusted well to being a full-time starter due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), and the versatile forward is going through a career-best stretch in recent weeks. He's now scored at least 20 points in three of his last five appearances, and he's also averaging 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and a combined 2.1 steals-plus-blocks per game since moving to a full-time starter role on March 16.

Karl-Anthony Towns - Regular-season return possible Towns continues rehabbing his surgical repaired left meniscus, but " there is optimism he could be back before the end of the regular season," Shams Charania of The Athletic report...
Impact Towns returned for eight contests at the end of the 2022-23 campaign after a multi-month absence due to a severe calf strain, so there is precedent for Minnesota to re-incorporate Towns before the playoffs if he is medically cleared. The 28-year-old is due for re-evaluation on April 9, which marks him being four weeks removed from surgery and leaves four games remaining on Minnesota schedule. The team's regular-season finale comes April 14 versus Phoenix, so Towns' window to return prior to the playoffs is narrow. Overall, his recovery appears to be going smoothly, which bodes extremely well for Minnesota's postseason aspirations.

Mike Conley - Scores 19, hands out seven dimes Conley posted 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), one rebound, seven assists and four steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 109-101 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Conley had a solid outing both as a scorer and playmaker, but the rest of the offense just wasn't sharp, as the Timberwolves barely reached the 100-point mark in this loss. The veteran floor general has been playing well lately, scoring in double digits in five of his last six games while dishing out five or more assists in each of those contests. Conley will aim to keep this run alive in a tough matchup against Fred VanVleet and the Rockets on Tuesday.

Rudy Gobert - Another double-double Gobert ended Sunday's 109-101 loss to the Bulls with 19 points (8-8 FG, 3-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 38 minutes.
Impact Gobert recorded his fourth consecutive double-double in stellar fashion, as he was perfect from the field, a feat he's achieved just five times this season. However, and while he was his usual disruptive presence on the defensive end, his contributions were not enough to lift Minnesota to victory past a combative Bulls team. Gobert will aim to keep his double-double streak alive when the Timberwolves take on the Rockets on Tuesday.
