Questionable at OKC Vanderbilt is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Thunder due to a bruised left quad.

Impact Vanderbilt hasn't missed a game since Dec. 28. Since then, he's averaged 7.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 27.0 minutes. If he sits out Friday, more minutes could be in store for Jaden McDaniels and Taurean Prince.

Good to go Vanderbilt (shoulder) is available Tuesday against the Warriors, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact Vanderbilt was initially questionable due to left shoulder soreness but is good to go. In February, he averaged 7.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25.0 minutes.

Dealing with shoulder injury Vanderbilt is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Warriors due to left shoulder soreness.

Impact Vanderbilt finished Monday's win over the Cavaliers with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes, but he presumably picked up the shoulder injury as well. If the fourth-year big man is unable to suit up, Jaden McDaniels, Taurean Prince and Naz Reid are all candidates for increased roles.

Reels in 14 boards in win Vanderbilt finished with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 FT), 14 rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes Tuesday in the Timberwolves' 126-120 overtime win over the Hornets.

Impact Vanderbilt's double-double performance was a welcome sight following a string of underwhelming outings from the fourth-year forward. He had played 26 minutes or fewer in all but one of the Timberwolves' last eight games, but the extra period plus Anthony Edwards' (ankle) early exit allowed Vanderbilt's playing time to push up a bit.

Snags 11 boards Wednesday Vanderbilt provided eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 132-119 loss to the Kings.

Impact Vanderbilt led Minnesota in rebounding in the contest, posting exactly 11 boards for his second straight contest. The fourth-year forward also collected a blocked shot for the fourth straight game. Vanderbilt is posting a career-best 9.0 rebounds on the season, but he doesn't score enough (7.3 points per game) to be more than a low-end fantasy asset.

Bulldozes Nuggets in win Vanderbilt posted 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals in 19 minutes Tuesday in the Timberwolves' 130-115 win over the Nuggets.

Impact Vanderbilt has been a plus contributor in field-goal percentage, rebounds and the two defensive stats categories throughout the season, but he saw a spike in shot attempts Tuesday while Anthony Edwards (five points on eight shot attempts) surprisingly took more of a back seat on offense. It's probably best to view Edwards' quiet night as an outlier, and assuming D'Angelo Russell (lower leg) returns to the lineup in the near future, Vanderbilt won't have a clear path to double-digit field-goal attempts moving forward. Even so, his steady production in the aforementioned four categories has made him a must-roster option in 12-team leagues for a while now.

Available against Phoenix Vanderbilt (foot) is starting Friday's game against the Suns.

Impact Vanderbilt dealt with a right foot sprain ahead of Friday's matchup but will be able to play through the issue. He's played at least 30 minutes in four of his last five appearances and has averaged 9.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes per game during that time.

Questionable for Friday's contest Vanderbilt is questionable for Friday's contest against the Suns due to a right foot sprain.

Impact Vanderbilt logged his sixth double-double of the season during Thursday's loss, but he also presumably picked up an injury as well. If he's unable to suit up, Jaden McDaniels, Taurean Prince and Naz Reid would all be candidates for increased roles.

Logs sixth double-double of season Vanderbilt totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 109-107 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Although Vanderbilt flies under the radar among Minnesota's flashier playmakers, the Kentucky product is quietly putting together the best season of his career. He's averaging 26 minutes of court time and has held down the starting role at power forward since mid-November. Shot volume is the only thing keeping Vanderbilt from next-level production, as he's already shown a knack for collecting a solid and consistent rebound total.

Approaches double-double Sunday Vanderbilt totaled nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and five steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 136-125 victory over the Nets.

Impact Although Vanderbilt didn't have much shot volume Sunday, he was perfect from the floor and made 75 percent of his attempts from the charity stripe. The 22-year-old also led the Timberwolves with nine rebounds and flirted with a double-double in the comfortable win. He's been held to single-digit scoring totals in four of the last six games, but his production on the boards has allowed him to maintain a relatively high fantasy floor.

Grabs team-high 13 boards Vanderbilt contributed eight points (4-5 FG) and 13 rebounds across 30 minutes during Thursday's 116-108 loss to Memphis.

Impact Vanderbilt has registered double-digit rebounds 16 times this season, including at least 13 boards 10 times. On the season, he's averaging 6.6 points and 9.2 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game, but his fantasy potential is limited with Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell handling most of the offensive production. Either way, Vanderbilt's energy and nose for the ball make him a high-floor option in most formats.
