Raptors win 7th straight at home, beat Timberwolves 122-107

Pascal Siakam had 27 points and 10 rebounds and the Toronto Raptors extended their season-high home winning streak to seven by beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 122-107
MARCH 19, 2023 • Associated Press
Taurean Prince - Starting for injured Edwards Prince will start Saturday's matchup against the Timberwolves, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact With Anthony Edwards (ankle) missing his first game of the season Saturday, Prince will get the nod. It's unclear when Edwards, who is in a walking boot, will return, so Prince could earn more starts beyond this weekend. In two previous starts, Prince has averaged 9.5 points, 6.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 25.5 minutes.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Rivers - Available Saturday Rivers (back) is available for Saturday's game at Toronto.
Impact Despite back spasms, Rivers will appear in a second straight game. He could be in for an expanded role, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is missing his first game of the season Saturday and is still in a walking boot.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Nowell - Out vs. Raptors Nowell (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact As expected, Nowell will be sidelined for a tenth consecutive matchup Saturday, with his next chance to play arriving Monday. His presence is especially important at the moment, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is in a boot, and it's not clear when he'll be back.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Available at Toronto Reid (calf) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact Despite some calf soreness, Reid will see the floor Saturday. Since the All-Star break, the reserve big has averaged 14.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 20.4 minutes.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Available Saturday Gobert (ankle) is available for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact Despite a lingering ankle injury, Gobert will appear in a ninth straight game. Over the past eight, he's averaged 16.6 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, 1.9 assists and 1.1 steals in 30.8 minutes.

Anthony Edwards Out vs. Raptors, Rudy Gobert is a Game-Time Decision The Minnesota Timberwolves will be without Anthony Edwards on Saturday night against the Toronto Raptors

Anthony Edwards - Still in boot, out Saturday Edwards (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Raptors. Coach Chris Finch noted the guard is still in a boot, and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined, Alan Horton of t...
Impact A sprained right ankle suffered during Friday's loss to the Bulls will force Edwards to miss his first game of the season Saturday, and he may miss time beyond the weekend, given he's still in a boot. For the duration of the guard's absence, Austin Rivers (back), Jaylen Nowell (knee) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are candidates to see expanded roles. Mike Conley and Kyle Anderson should take on extra playmaking responsibilities as well.

Timberwolves Release Lengthy Injury Report Ahead of Raptors Matchup The Minnesota Timberwolves have listed Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert as questionable to play Saturday against the Toronto Raptors
MARCH 18, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Austin Rivers - Questionable Saturday Rivers (back) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact Rivers returned from a three-game absence Friday to play just seven minutes, and his back spasms have flared back up. With Jaylen Nowell (knee) doubtful and Anthony Edwards (ankle) questionable, more backcourt minutes could be in store for Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jordan McLaughlin.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Questionable Saturday Reid (calf) is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Impact Reid is at risk of missing the closing end of the Timberwolves' back-to-back set Saturday after logging 25 minutes in Friday's loss to the Bulls. He has dealt with lingering soreness in his left calf throughout the past week but has played through the injury in the last two contests. With Rudy Gobert (ankle) also questionable, Nathan Knight could be thrust into a significant role if one of Reid or Gobert sits.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Questionable at Toronto Gobert (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Raptors.
Impact Gobert is dealing with a lingering ankle injury and could be part of a reduced Timberwolves crew Saturday, as Anthony Edwards (ankle) is also questionable. Naz Reid's (calf) status is in question as well, so if both centers are out, Nathan Knight could see extra run.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - Listed questionable Saturday Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto.
Impact Edwards exited Friday's game against the Bulls after spraining his ankle and returned to the bench in a walking boot. He pops up as questionable on the injury report, which is an encouraging sign for fantasy managers who were worried about a significant injury. However, seeing him suit up Saturday would be a bit surprising. If he does sit, Austin Rivers (back) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker could see expanded roles while Matt Ryan could crack the rotation.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Nowell - Unlikely to play Saturday Nowell (knee) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Impact Nowell is on pace to miss a tenth straight game with tendinitis in his left knee. If he ends up sitting, expect Austin Rivers (back) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker to continue to pick up Nowell's vacated minutes.

Timberwolves' awful season gets worse after Anthony Edwards injury Ant-Man goes down against Chicago Bulls and Minnesota falls a game under .500
MARCH 18, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM
Matt Ryan - Called up to NBA Ryan was transferred to the Timberwolves on Saturday.
Impact Ryan's call-up may signal a potential absence for one or both of Anthony Edwards (ankle) and Jaylen Nowell (knee). Although he would likely be filling a depth role with the team even if the pair are sidelined, there is an outside chance that Ryan would be able to crack the rotation for the first time since Feb. 8. His first opportunity to do so will come Saturday night against Toronto.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Rivers - Returns from three-game absence Rivers (back) played seven minutes and logged zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to the Bulls.
Impact Active for the first time after a three-game absence, Rivers recaptured a spot in the Timberwolves' rotation, but he played fewer minutes than any of the 10 Minnesota players that saw action. Rivers might have been excluded from the rotation entirely if not for the early departure of Anthony Edwards (ankle), who played just eight minutes before leaving the contest. Edwards was in a walking boot after the contest and could be in danger of missing time, but Rivers may not be the primary beneficiary of an absence, especially if Jaylen Nowell (knee) is back in action soon.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Edwards - In walking boot Edwards was spotted wearing a walking boot on the bench Friday after exiting the game versus the Bulls with a right ankle sprain, Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic reports.
Impact Edwards sustained a sprained right ankle Friday after playing just eight minutes and returned to the team's bench in a protective boot. Although he hasn't been given a designation for Saturday's matchup against Toronto at this juncture, it feels unlikely the All-Star two-guard will suit up. If that's the case, Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely see extended run.

Toronto takes home win streak into matchup with Minnesota

Toronto will try to keep its six-game home win streak alive when the Raptors take on Minnesota
MARCH 18, 2023 • Associated Press
Mike Conley - Racks up 28 points in loss Conley racked up 28 points (9-14 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and three steals over 46 minutes during Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to Chicago.
Impact With 46 minutes, Conley saw the sixth largest workload of his entire career. Minnesota hasn't been too careful with his minutes, unlike his Utah days, but it's worth mentioning that the Wolves play again Saturday versus the Raptors on the second leg of a back-to-back.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rudy Gobert - Plays well before fouling out Gobert fouled out of Friday's 139-131 double-overtime loss to the Bulls after recording 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 33 minutes.
Impact Gobert came into this game with a questionable tag due to an ankle issue, but he was moving around really well. The contest went into double overtime, but the big man fouled out in 33 minutes. The Timberwolves play again Saturday against the Raptors, so fantasy managers will want to check the injury report to see if any players will be held out for maintenance.
