Timberwolves' Nickeil Alexander-Walker: Productive off bench
Alexander-Walker totaled eight points (4-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes in Monday's 132-130 overtime loss to the Pacers.
Alexander-Walker was effective on the floor Monday, making shots in the paint and hustling for rebounds. An early ejection of Rudy Gobert shortened the Timberwolves bench, which contributed to the 26-year-old playing his most minutes since March 5. In nine games in March, Alexander-Walker is averaging 8.6 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 23.6 minutes per game.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Scores 17 points Monday
Randle closed with 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Monday's 132-130 overtime loss to the Pacers.
Randle has been scoring in double digits on a regular basis, and his numbers back him up as the second-best option on offense behind Anthony Edwards. The uptick in efficiency has been noticeable since his return to the hardwood March 2. Over nine contests this month, Randle is averaging 18.1 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game while shooting an impressive 50.5 percent from the floor.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Extends solid scoring stretch
DiVincenzo registered 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Monday's 132-130 overtime loss to the Pacers.
With Mike Conley (rest) back in action, DiVincenzo operated off the bench, but he has scored in double digits in every game since the beginning of March despite starting just two times over that stretch. DiVincenzo is averaging 15.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game over nine March appearances.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Goes for 38 points in OT win
Edwards finished Monday's 132-130 overtime loss to Indiana with 38 points (9-24 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 19-20 FT), three rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 41 minutes.
Edwards is firmly entrenched as the Timberwolves' go-to option on offense, and even though he had a woeful showing from the efficient perspective, his offensive volume allowed him to surpass the 35-point mark for the 15th time this season. Edwards is averaging 29.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game since the beginning of March, and while there will be games in which he'll struggle from an efficiency standpoint, he has enough volume on a game-to-game basis so fantasy managers should continue to trust in him with the fantasy playoffs just around the corner.

Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Exits early Monday
Gobert was ejected from Monday's game against the Pacers after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Alex Golden of the 'Setting the Pace' podcast reports. He registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 22 minutes before departing.
Gobert was tossed midway through the third quarter after getting into an altercation with Andrew Nembhard, who was hit with his second technical and also ejected. It'll be up to Naz Reid and Luka Garza to fill in at center the rest of the way.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Back in bench role
DiVincenzo isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pacers.
DiVincenzo drew a spot start Sunday while Mike Conley received an opportunity for a day off, but it's back to the bench for DiVincenzo in the second half of a back-to-back. He's averaging 14.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over his last four appearances as a reserve.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Available to play
Conley (rest) is available for Monday's game against the Pacers.
Conley sat out Sunday's game against Utah during the first half of the club's back-to-back set, but he's no longer listed on the injury report. The veteran guard is averaging 11.4 points, 4.2 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 2.6 three-pointers over his last five appearances.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Clark: Plays 17 minutes off bench
Clark had eight points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals in 17 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 victory over the Jazz.
With Mike Conley resting, Minnesota still blew out Utah, allowing Clark to play 17 minutes, his most since Feb. 24. He took advantage of the playing time, recording a season-high four steals while falling one short of his high-water mark in steals.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Continues to surge as scorer
McDaniels recorded 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 victory over Utah.
Although he's been a consistent presence on the defensive side of the floor all season, fantasy managers have to be particularly pleased with McDaniels' growth as a scorer lately. The 24-year-old forward has scored in double figures in 21 consecutive outings. Over 13 games following the All-Star break, McDaniels has averaged 18.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Limited action in blowout win
Randle recorded 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists over 20 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 win over the Jazz.
Randle recently missed an extended period of time with a groin injury, so perhaps the Timberwolves embraced the luxury of being able to limit his playing time in Sunday's easy win. Fantasy managers can expect the star forward to bounce back soon, as Randle has averaged 18.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 1.4 three-pointers in 29.8 minutes across his last eight contests.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Dominates Jazz with 41 points
Edwards contributed 41 points (16-27 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 win over Utah.
It was fairly easy sledding Sunday for Edwards, who hit the 40-point plateau for the seventh time this season in just 31 minutes against a soft Jazz defense. The month of March has been more of the same for the All-Star guard, who has scored in bunches all year long. Edwards is averaging 28.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 4.0 three-pointers in 34.7 minutes over his last eight outings.

Timberwolves' Donte DiVincenzo: Starting Sunday
DiVincenzo will start Sunday's game against the Jazz.
DiVincenzo will enter the starting five because Mike Conley (rest) is out of the lineup. In his last start, DiVincenzo saw a very similar role to the one he normally fills off the bench, so his fantasy outlook doesn't figure to be impacted all that much.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Won't play Sunday
Conley (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Utah.
The veteran point guard will get the night off during the first half of the club's back-to-back set. His next chance to play will come Monday against the Pacers. Donte DiVincenzo, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Rob Dillingham are all candidates for an uptick in playing time due to Conley being sidelined.

Timberwolves' Mike Conley: Modest production Friday
Conley chipped in nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 24 minutes during Friday's 118-111 win over Orlando.
Conley served up another lukewarm performance, scoring fewer than 15 points for the 10th time in the past 11 games. Despite continuing to start, both his role and production have diminished this season. Through 58 games, he is averaging a modest 8.3 points, 4.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per contest.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Strong two-way performance
McDaniels produced 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 118-111 win over Orlando.
McDaniels continued his breakout season, turning in yet another strong two-way performance. He has been arguably the most consistent player for Minnesota over the past two months. In 29 games during that span, he is averaging 16.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.
