Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 28 points (9-10 FG, 5-6 3PT, 5-6 FT) to go along with three rebounds, one assist and one block in the Timberwolves 118-100 win over the Clippers.
Fantasy Impact: Alexander-Walker had about as efficient of a game as you could have, missing just one shot from the field on 10 attempts. He set his season-high in points in the big win for Minnesota to stay ahead of the Clippers in the standings. Despite his big performance Tuesday night, he is still only a reliable streamer when he sees a spot start.

Anthony Edwards scored 37 points (15-29 FG, 2-8 3PT, 5-7 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in the Timberwolves 118-100 win over the Clippers.
Fantasy Impact: Edwards helped Minnesota overcome a big deficit early as they outscored the Clippers by 26 points in the second half. Ant is shooting close to 30 shots per game with Karl-Anthony Towns sidelined as he looks to help keep Minnesota towards the top of the Western Conference standings.

Naz Reid scored 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3PT) to go along with eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the Timberwolves 113-111 win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact: With Karl-Anthony Towns sidelined, Kyle Anderson got the start for Minnesota but Reid was more productive off the bench. Reid should continue to be more valuable from a fantasy perspective the rest of the regular season.

Jordan McLaughlin (illness) is officially questionable for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: McLaughlin is still dealing with an illness that he has been recovering from over the past few days. He may have to miss Thursday's game because of it, but his possible absence won't have much of an impact on Minnesota's rotation, given that he rarely gets significant playing time even when healthy and active.

Mike Conley scored 19 points (6-13 FG, 2-6 3PT, 5-5 FT) to go along with two rebounds, seven assists and three steals in the Timberwolves 119-114 win over Portland.
Fantasy Impact: It was a nice bounce back for Conley after scoring zero points across 28 minutes on Tuesday. His production hasn't been huge overall on the year, but he continues to have some big nights.

By Joel E. Ruffin Jr.
Jaden McDaniels totaled 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3PT), two rebounds, three assists, and three blocks in the Timberwolves’ 110-101 win over the Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact: McDaniels has been a solid core contributor on this competitive Timberwolves team. While he doesn’t do much to significantly impact fantasy outcomes, he does have his moments where he plays above his profile. Up next are the Kings, who rank 23rd in opponent points, 10th in opponent rebounds, 22nd in opponent assists, tied 16th in opponent steals, and 8th in opponent blocks. It could be a productive day for McDaniels, but expectations should be held in check given his niche production profile.
