Anthony Edwards - Shot goes missing Friday Edwards produced 15 points (5-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 115-93 victory over Orlando.

Impact After a red-hot opening game, Edwards came crashing back to earth Friday, shooting just 5-of-23 from the field. While it wasn't his night offensively, he did manage to record a game-high four steals, salvaging what was otherwise an underwhelming effort. The fact that Minnesota easily accounted for Orlando despite Edwards' struggles bodes well for the season ahead. As for Edwards, he will look to get back on track in what promises to be a mouthwatering matchup against the Raptors on Sunday.

Jaden McDaniels - Two-way performance Friday McDaniels had 15 points (6-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 115-93 victory over Orlando.

Impact McDaniels was productive on both ends of the floor, helping Minnesota to its second straight comfortable victory. Through two games, it's clear that McDaniels is going to play a key role for the Timberwolves, both on offense and defense. While there will almost certainly be an element of inconsistency, McDaniels should settle in as a plug-and-play mid-round asset moving forward.

Joan Beringer - Flirts with double-double in win Beringer ended Friday's 115-93 win over the Magic with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 FT) and nine rebounds over 15 minutes.

Impact Beringer came within a whisker of his first double-double of the season, providing Minnesota with serviceable production as the backup center. It's been a modest start to the campaign for the sophomore, having now assumed the role of primary backup behind Rudy Gobert. Assuming Gobert remains healthy, Beringer should be considered nothing more than a rebound and blocks streamer.

Ayo Dosunmu - Dishes out nine dimes Friday Dosunmu recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, a steal and a block across 27 minutes off the bench in Friday's 115-93 win over the Magic.

Impact Seven Minnesota players scored in double digits Friday, but none recorded more than 15 points, and Dosunmu made his presence felt by leading the team in assists and ranking third in rebounds. Despite his bench role, Dosunmu should be a valuable fantasy alternative in most formats due to his scoring and playmaking ability.

Ayo Dosunmu - Productive in season opener Dosunmu provided 16 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 131-106 victory over Miami.

Impact As expected, Dosunmu was the first player off Minnesota's bench during their dominant season-opening win. He finished third on the team in minutes played behind Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert and even shared the court with Ant and LaMelo Ball. Dosunmu should see 30-plus minutes a night, especially in more competitive games, while providing contributions across the board.

Rudy Gobert - Grabs 15 boards in opener Gobert registered five points (0-2 FG, 5-8 FT), 15 rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 131-106 win over the Heat.

Impact Gobert only attempted two shots on a night where Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball combined for 66 points on 46 attempts. However, he led all players in rebounds and posted a game-best plus-29 in his 33 minutes. Offense has never been Gobert's strong suit, but as the defensive anchor for Minnesota, he'll contribute heavily to boards and, on most nights, blocks and steals.

Orlando hosts Minnesota after Edwards' 45-point game

Minnesota faces the Orlando Magic after Anthony Edwards scored 45 points in the Timberwolves' 131-106 win over the Miami Heat

Jonathan Kuminga - Scores 12, adds four steals Kuminga finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-0 FT), a rebound, three assists, four steals and a block across 30 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 win over the Heat.

Impact Kuminga's regular-season debut with Minnesota featured limited rebounding but excellent defensive production, with his four steals showing how he can contribute in other areas, since he'll likely hold a secondary role in an offense monopolized by Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. Kuminga's fantasy outlook will improve if he maintains this playing time and contributes more consistently in peripheral stats, since he's not expected to be a go-to scoring option anytime soon.

Jaden McDaniels - Sniffs double-double in win McDaniels delivered 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-0 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and three steals across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 win over the Heat.

Impact McDaniels opened the campaign with an encouraging combination of scoring, rebounding and defensive production, ending just two boards away from a double-double and also making his presence felt as a defensive asset. His 17 points came on unusually efficient shooting, but maintaining that offensive output could be difficult with Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball commanding significant usage. However, his eight rebounds and three steals highlight the peripheral contributions that can sustain his fantasy value even when his scoring opportunities fluctuate on a per-game basis.

LaMelo Ball - Strong debut with Timberwolves Ball contributed 21 points (7-17 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 win over the Heat.

Impact Ball made an immediate impact in his Minnesota debut, finishing second on the team in scoring while sharing backcourt responsibilities with Anthony Edwards, who led the way with an impressive 45-point performance. His 13 three-point attempts suggest he'll retain considerable offensive freedom despite playing alongside another high-volume scorer. Ball's six assists and just one turnover were also encouraging, although his long-term fantasy ceiling will depend on how consistently he handles playmaking duties in his new surroundings. One game isn't enough to draw meaningful conclusions, but this was certainly an encouraging start to life in Minnesota for Ball.

Anthony Edwards - Drops 45 points on Opening Night Edwards ended with 45 points (16-29 FG, 9-17 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 33 minutes in Wednesday's 131-106 victory over Miami.

Impact Edwards was dominant Wednesday, setting a new franchise Opening Night scoring record to lead the Timberwolves to a victory to begin the 2026-27 campaign. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick averaged a career-best 28.8 points along with 5.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals over 35.0 minutes per contest in 2025-26. However, he appeared in only 61 games, marking the first season of his career with fewer than 72 appearances. Edwards has MVP potential, and while he'll face heavy competition for the award, he could at least be a finalist at the end of the year, assuming he stays healthy.
