Timberwolves' Matt Ryan: Leads bench in scoring in win
Ryan tallied 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 139-131 win over Birmingham.

Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Flirts with 30-point game in win
Garza finished with 29 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 139-131 win over Birmingham.
Garza hauled in a team-high rebound total and finished second in assists and scoring while ending up one point shy of the 30-point mark. Garza has averaged 29.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.6 blocks over five games with Iowa.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Held scoreless in narrow win
Nowell amassed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in eight minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 victory over the Hawks.
Nowell played 20 minutes off the bench Monday in his return from a 10-game absence, but his playing time was much more limited during Wednesday's narrow win. This was just the second time this year that he's been held scoreless, but he's been an unreliable contributor for most of the season.

Timberwolves' Taurean Prince: Drops 15 points off bench
Prince logged 15 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 win over the Hawks.
Although Prince retreated to the bench following two straight starts, he was efficient from the floor and scored in double figures for a second consecutive game. He's tallied 10-plus points in five of his last 11 outings and has averaged 11.1 points and 2.4 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per game during that time.

Timberwolves' Naz Reid: Thrives off bench in win
Reid logged 26 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 win over the Hawks.
Reid's fantasy upside has usually been capped when Rudy Gobert is available, but the former has still found a way to 20 or more minutes in four straight contests while Gobert has cleared 30 minutes in each of those contests. Head coach Chris Finch said following Wednesday's game that he wants to see more of Reid and Gobert alongside one another, though the return of power forward Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) from an extended absence Wednesday could complicate those plans. Regardless, Reid looks like he could be an interesting speculative pickup if he ends up sticking in a 20-to-25-minute role. Over the past four games, he's averaging 18.5 points, 4.3 boards, 1.3 assists, 0.8 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in 22.8 minutes while shooting 63.3 percent from the field and 81.8 percent from the free-throw line.

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Scores 22 points in return
Towns (calf) contributed 22 points (8-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 125-124 win over the Hawks.
Playing for the first time since Nov. 28 after an extended recovery from a Grade 3 calf strain, Towns reclaimed his spot on the starting five but was on a minutes limit. Though the playing-time restriction lowered his fantasy ceiling for the night, Towns still made the most of his time on the court and delivered a useful stat line for managers who chose to immediately activate him. Expect Towns to be under a restriction for the next game or two, and he could be a candidate to rest for one half of the Timberwolves' upcoming Sunday/Monday back-to-back set with the Warriors and Kings, respectively.

Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Pops for 25 points Wednesday
McDaniels closed Wednesday's 125-124 win over Atlanta with 25 points (9-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 36 minutes.
Though the Timberwolves welcomed Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) back to their forward ranks following an absence of nearly four months, McDaniels didn't see his playing time suffer. In fact, he proceeded to tie his career-best scoring mark while also turning in useful returns in other categories. Though McDaniels is running hot at the moment with averages of 19.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, 1.9 assists and 0.9 blocks in 33.3 minutes per game over his last seven outings, he'll still be a candidate to see his playing time and usage take a hit sooner rather than later. While he wasn't hurt by Towns' return Wednesday, the Timberwolves were still without star shooting guard Anthony Edwards (ankle), who missed a third straight contest but appears likely to re-enter the lineup this weekend.

Timberwolves' Taurean Prince: Returns to bench

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Starting, but limited
Towns (calf) will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Coach Chris Finch said Towns will face "some sort of limitations" Wednesday in his first game action since Nov. 28 but will reclaim his spot in the starting lineup. In his only 20 appearances this season, Towns averaged 21.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists over 33.8 minutes.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Absent from injury report
Nowell (knee) will play in Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Nowell logged 20 minutes in his first game action since Feb. 24 as he dealt with tendinitis in his left knee and scored 14 points. Although the Timberwolves will likely maintain caution with Nowell given the touchy nature of the injury, he should be expected to see a similar if not expanded role Wednesday with Anthony Edwards (ankle) sidelined.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Out Wednesday
Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
There was some hope that Edwards would be able to return for Wednesday's game, but he must have not felt quite right after getting through his pregame routine. Unfortunately, the Timberwolves' next two games come as a Sunday-Monday, back-to-back set, so Edwards could be slated for at least one more game on the sidelines. Taurean Prince could get another start Wednesday, while Mike Conley and Jaden McDaniels will be more involved in the offense.

Timberwolves' Jordan McLaughlin: Downgraded to out
McLaughlin (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
McLaughlin was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately be sidelined due to an illness. In his absence, Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will be candidates for increased roles behind Mike Conley.

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Expected to have limitations
Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch said Towns (calf) will have "some sort of limitations" with his minutes during Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Towns is suiting up for the first time since Nov. 28, so it's unsurprising to hear that Minnesota will be cautious and ease him back to a full workload. Before the injury, Towns averaged 21.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 33.8 minutes across his first 20 appearances.

Timberwolves' Jordan McLaughlin: Dealing with illness
McLaughlin is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks due to an illness.
McLaughlin was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign, but he still has a chance to suit up Wednesday night. If he's sidelined, Austin Rivers and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would be candidates for increased roles behind Mike Conley.

Timberwolves' Karl-Anthony Towns: Will play Wednesday
Towns (calf) will play Wednesday against the Hawks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
As expected, Towns has been cleared to return from a 51-game absence due to a calf strain and will presumably take his usual spot in the starting frontcourt alongside Rudy Gobert. However, the Kentucky product will likely still have his minutes monitored closely for the next few games to ensure he's healthy for a potential playoff run. Before the injury, Towns averaged 21.4 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists with 51/33/90 shooting splits across his first 20 appearances.

Timberwolves' Anthony Edwards: Officially questionable Wednesday
Edwards (ankle) holds a questionable designation for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
It was reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic earlier in the day Tuesday that the team is optimistic Edwards will return from a two-game absence Wednesday, so his status may lead slightly on the probable side of questionable. Either way, it will be worth monitoring how his status evolves over the next 24 hours. The Timberwolves are on the verge of getting superstar Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) back, as well, though that could theoretically downgrade Edwards' usage a bit.

Timberwolves' Jaylen Nowell: Questionable Wednesday
Nowell (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Nowell looked good over 20 minutes in his return from nearly a month-long absence Monday, but it looks like he could be hit with a maintenance day Wednesday. He'll presumably test himself at shootaround, but with Anthony Edwards (ankle) and Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) potentially set to return for Wednesday's game, Nowell's minutes and shot attempts figure to start dwindling.
