Alex Caruso - Ruled out for Thursday Caruso (hip) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers.
Rob Dillingham - Remains out with ankle sprain Dillingham (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Dillingham will sit out a third consecutive game as he nurses a right ankle sprain. The rookie first-rounder hasn't been a regular part of Minnesota's rotation during his first year, playing 8.5 minutes per game over 15 appearances, so his absence is unlikely to make a significant impact in fantasy basketball. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will continue to have clearer runways for playing time off the bench for the Wolves as long as Dillingham remains inactive.

Luka Garza - Still sidelined Garza (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston.

Cason Wallace - Records five steals Wallace had five points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and five steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 113-105 win over Minnesota.
Impact Despite a poor showing shooting the ball, Wallace more than made up for it by posting career-high marks in assists (7) and steals (5). For the season, he's on pace to return ninth-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.9 three-pointers.
