Shannon supplied 18 points (7-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 loss to the Thunder.

Shannon seemingly couldn't miss Wednesday night, and with 18 points on the evening, he scored more points than he had in his previous five outings combined. We'll need to see a repeat performance before recommending Shannon as an add in fantasy leagues.

Randle contributed 10 points (2-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 loss to Oklahoma City.

Randle couldn't get anything going against Oklahoma City's elite defense, but he wasn't the only Minnesota player who struggled. The Wolves missed 15 free throws in the eight-point loss and went 1-for-7 from the floor over the final three minutes of the game while committing three turnovers. Randle was responsible for one of those turnovers, failing to inbound the ball with Minnesota down by five and 26.8 seconds left in regulation, and this was the third time in his past six outings against the Thunder that Randle was held to two or fewer made field goals.

Edwards closed Wednesday's 113-105 loss to the Thunder with 31 points (9-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 8-12 FT), eight rebounds and five assists across 40 minutes.

While the Wolves fought hard in this one, late-game execution was again an issue, and the result was Minnesota suffering its third straight loss. "I'm not a moral victory type of guy," Edwards remarked after the game, per Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune. "Nah. We lost. Got our a** kicked, again, by them. I hate it." The Wolves will look to right the ship Saturday against the Celtics.

Reid closed with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 23 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings.

Reid led all bench scorers once again, but he did not shoot well from beyond the arc. Reid will continue to operate as one of the team's primary contributors within the second unit, and he averages 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.0 threes across 24.4 minutes on the season.

Gobert recorded 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 41 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings.

Despite enduring another blown lead following a heartbreaking loss to Phoenix earlier in the week, Gobert once again demonstrated his ability to hit the double-double milestone regularly. A stat that has shown significant improvement over last season is field-goal percentage. Through 17 games, Gobert is converting shots at a 73.3-percent clip.

Randle finished Monday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings with 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 39 minutes.

TheTimberwolves fought hard to keep up at the baseline, but standout nights from DeMar DeRozan and Keegan Murray proved to be a tough test for Randle and Rudy Gobert. Despite another late collapse by Minnesota's defense, Randle is playing at an extremely high level. Along with three double-doubles, Randle also has two triple-doubles to his credit.

Edwards chipped in 43 points (16-29 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals across 40 minutes during Monday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings.

Edwards turned in a majestic number despite another late collapse for theTimberwolves. All of Minnesota's standouts are playing well, but the team's inability to close out games is emerging as a pressing problem. Although Edwards missed four games earlier in the season due to a hamstring injury, he's averaged 28.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.1 steals over the 10 games since returning to action.

Edwards totaled 43 points (16-29 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 117-112 overtime loss to the Kings.

Edwards turned in a complete performance, leading Minnesota in scoring while also finding ways to contribute across the board. He's put up two straight 40-point games, responding nicely from a brief cold stretch in which he was held to 32.4 percent from the field in his previous two appearances.

Shannon (foot) will play Monday against the Kings.

Shannon hasn't seen the court since Nov. 3 while rehabbing from a bone bruise in his left foot, but he was cleared for 5-on-5 work over the weekend and is now getting the green light to return to live action. He'll presumably come off the bench Monday in Sacramento.

Shannon (foot) has been cleared for 5-on-5 activities and is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Shannon has missed the last nine games due to a left foot fifth metatarsal bone bruise, but he seems to be nearing a return as he has been cleared for full contact and upgraded to questionable ahead of Monday's contest. If Shannon is ultimately unable to suit up, Jaylen Clark will likely see an increased role again.

McDaniels recorded 13 points (5-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, four steals and one turnover in 40 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to the Suns.

McDaniels was excellent in his return from a one-game absence, as he put the clamps on Devin Booker and helped hold him to 4-for-18 shooting for a season-low 16 points. This was McDaniels' third straight game with multiple steals and his sixth multi-steal performance of the season. The 25-year-old forward is off to the best start of his career, posting top-40 numbers behind averages of 17.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.7 triples, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

Edwards piled up 41 points (14-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds, four assists, four steals, one block and five turnovers across 40 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to Phoenix.

Edwards had been struggling mightily in his previous three outings, converting just 33.3 percent of his shot attempts while going 2-for-23 from three-point range, but he got things back on track in a big way Friday night as he tied his season high in points. Despite a herculean effort from Edwards, the Wolves weren't able to take home the win, and they're now 0-6 this season against teams over .500.

Conley is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns.

Conley will return to his regular bench role now that Jaden McDaniels is back in the starting unit. Conley is averaging just 6.4 points, 3.7 assists and 1.2 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes per game this season.

McDaniels (wrist) will be available for Friday's game in Phoenix.

McDaniels should see his usual minutes in his return from a one-game absence. With McDaniels back in action, Mike Conley will likely head back to the second unit, and Jaylen Clark's minutes could dip a bit.

Ingles is available in Friday's game against the Suns.

Ingles is managing left groin soreness, but the issue won't stop him from suiting up Friday. The veteran forward has averaged a mere 4.6 minutes per game across five appearances in 2025-26, so it's possible he won't see the court at all against Phoenix.
