Donte DiVincenzo - Comes close to double-doubleDiVincenzo accumulated 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 loss to New Orleans.
ImpactDiVincenzo finished just three rebounds away from recording what would've been his first double-double since Jan. 11, but even if he's not filling the stat sheet, he's doing an excellent job of scoring the rock. This was DiVincenzo's 11th consecutive game in double digits, a span in which he's averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Anthony Edwards - Scores 29 despite shooting woesEdwards closed Wednesday's 119-115 loss to New Orleans with 29 points (5-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 15-17 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes.
ImpactEdwards finished with a loaded stat line, though his ability to get to the charity stripe was what saved him in this one -- he scored more than 50 percent of his total scoring haul with free throws while shooting nearly 25 percent from the floor. The Timberwolves won't be successful if Edwards continues to struggle from the floor, although this might have been a one-off situation. Over his last five outings, Edwards is making 44.1 percent of his shots from the floor.

Julius Randle - Efficient despite loss WednesdayRandle notched 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 loss to the Pelicans.
ImpactRandle has been remarkably consistent as the Timberwolves' second scoring option behind Anthony Edwards, and he's surpassed the 15-point mark seven times over his 10 appearances in March. He has only three double-doubles in that stretch, but Randle will remain valuable in fantasy as long as he stays healthy due to his ability to impact the game in more than one way.

Jose Alvarado - Hands out six dimes as starterAlvarado produced eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 119-115 victory over the Timberwolves.
ImpactAlvarado was promoted to a starting role due to the season-ending injury of Trey Murphy (shoulder), and he did a good job running the offense, as the presence of a true floor general generated even more opportunities for the likes of Zion Williamson, Yves Missi and Bruce Brown, the three standout performers in Wednesday's game. Alvarado is likely to remain as the Pelicans' starting point guard as long as he stays healthy.
