The Timberwolves bowed out in the second round, falling to the Spurs in a matchup that proved to be too much for Minnesota. They handled business against the Nuggets, taking care of that rivalry for a second straight year — but San Antonio was a different animal. Injuries played a role down the stretch, though at this point, that can only explain so much. Here's how the Wolves fared during the regular season and what it meant for your fantasy teams.
Anthony EdwardsAnt delivered another strong fantasy season, cementing himself as a first-round talent — though he remains one of those guys whose per-game value still hasn't fully caught up to his ceiling. The knee injury late in the season was brutal for managers who rode him deep into their playoffs. That said, I'm not fading Edwards. His availability history and ascending production keep him firmly in the conversation as a back-end first-rounder heading into next season.

Supporting CastJulius Randle did exactly what Randle does: outperformed his ADP in points leagues, but fell flat in 9-cat. Predictably unpredictable. Rudy Gobert's fantasy descent continues, finishing 112th in 9-cat and 90th in High Score despite being drafted 70th overall. He’ll still be a decent source of boards, blocks and FG%, but offers little upside in the mid-rounds these days. Naz Reid was better in 9-cat than High Score, but the production value was about the same as last season. Jaden McDaniels outpaced his 115th ADP and finished 69th in 9-cat. The midseason Ayo Dosunmu deal was a win for Minnesota. He provided 7th-round value in 9-cat leagues after the trade deadline, showcasing elite efficiency with 52/41/93 shooting splits. On a disappointing note, Donte DiVincenzo ruptured his Achilles against the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs and will likely miss all of next season.
It’ll be an interesting offseason because the Wolves don’t control their picks until 2028 and have some serious needs in the backcourt with DiVincenzo out. Gobert and Randle have tradeable contracts, but there could be some reluctance to move them after they went to the WCF in two of the last three seasons. McDaniels is the name to prioritize outside of Edwards. Coming off a strong postseason where he averaged 16 points with 6 boards per game with likely increased opportunity, he should be a locked-in top-100 asset next season. Dosunmu should also deserve a look around the 100s if he returns and the Wolves don’t make moves. A deep sleeper who emerged during the playoffs was Terrance Shannon Jr. He’s not a must-roster, but someone I’d keep an eye on.
