    • MIN starting Conley, Edwards, Jaden, Kyle, Towns
      Mike Conley, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels, Kyle Anderson, and Karl-Anthony Towns will start Monday’s game against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Leading the series one game to none, the Timberwolves are without Rudy Gobert (personal reasons) for Game 2. Filling the void is Anderson, but the Stifle Tower’s absence also places more responsibility on Towns. KAT has picked up some silly fouls in the past; Minnesota can’t afford to have him land in early foul trouble if they’re to take a 2-0 lead. Rotoworld Today, 6:37 pm
       
    • Steps into starting five
      Anderson will start Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets.

      Advice: Anderson will take Rudy Gobert's (personal) spot in the starting lineup. Anderson didn't factor in much during Game 1, finishing with two points, two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes of action. While Anderson is set to draw the start, look for Naz Reid to play a key role off the bench after dropping 14 points in the fourth quarter of Saturday's Game 1. Rotowire.com Today, 6:37 pm
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns turns in 28/10/3 in Game 4 win
      Karl-Anthony Towns turned in 28 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and four triples across 39 minutes in Sunday’s win over the Suns.

      Advice: Towns had his best game of the series, and the timing was perfect for Minnesota. Anthony Edwards led the way with 40 points, but KAT was the Wolves’ next highest scorer, and he chipped in his second straight double-double. Towns averaged just 25 minutes in Games 1-3, but he saw increased playing time, while Rudy Gobert played only 25 minutes. Minnesota will face the winner of the Nuggets-Lakers series in the Western Conference semifinals. Rotoworld Apr 28, 10:04 pm
       
    • Kyle Anderson (hip) available Sunday vs. PHX
      Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is available for Sunday’s matchup with the Suns.

      Advice: Slow Mo will be available after logging just eight minutes in Friday’s Game 3 victory. He’s not expected to play a major role in Game 4. Rotoworld Apr 28, 5:58 pm
       
    • Available for Game 4
      Anderson (hip) will play in Sunday's game against the Suns.

      Advice: Anderson carried a questionable tag into Game 4, but he will officially be available. Anderson has seen limited action this postseason, so he doesn't figure to have much fantasy appeal in most formats. Rotowire.com Apr 28, 5:36 pm
       
    • Kyle Anderson (hip) questionable for Game 4 Sunday
      Kyle Anderson (right hip pointer) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Suns.

      Advice: Injured during Game 1, Anderson was a DNP-CD for Game 2 and only played eight minutes in Friday’s Game 3. If he remains limited, look for Nickeil Alexander-Walker to continue to play extended minutes off the bench. Rotoworld Apr 27, 4:44 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 4
      Anderson is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Suns due to a right hip injury, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Anderson was questionable before Game 3 on Friday, and even though he played, he logged only eight minutes off the bench. A similar workload can be expected for Sunday's contest, meaning his fantasy upside will be minimal. Rotowire.com Apr 27, 4:44 pm
       
    • Double-doubles in Game 3
      Towns registered 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Friday's 126-109 win over the Suns in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Towns needed 16 shots to score 18 points, but he still made his presence felt and looked active on the glass, grabbing double-digit boards despite being limited to just 24 minutes due to foul trouble. Towns has adjusted well to life operating as Minnesota's second offensive option behind Anthony Edwards, and he remains extremely valuable in fantasy as a two-way big man who can shoot threes at an above-average rate. He's averaging 16.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game in the current series while shooting an elite 45.5 percent (5-for-11) from beyond the arc. Rotowire.com Apr 27, 7:42 am
       
    • Karl-Anthony Towns records double-double in 24 min
      Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double on Friday with 18 points (7-of-16 FGs), 13 rebounds, two assists and three 3-pointers against the Suns in Game 3.

      Advice: KAT dealt with some foul trouble early in this game, which limited him to just 24 minutes of playing time. However, he was still able to turn in an effective stat line. He has committed 12 fouls in three games despite averaging just 25 minutes per game. They’re still monitoring his minutes after his extended absence, but he should play more if he stays out of foul trouble. It hasn’t hurt them yet, but it isn’t something that he can continue to do in the next round, where they’ll likely face off against Denver, barring the first ever 3-0 comeback in NBA history.
