The Minnesota Timberwolves are relatively healthy, with only
Terrence Shannon Jr. (Out - Foot) sidelined. This game is a prime opportunity for
Anthony Edwards to showcase his scoring prowess.
Rudy Gobert will be vital for defensive presence and rebounding against the Nuggets' frontcourt, and
Mike Conley will orchestrate the offense, providing assists. For the Denver Nuggets, the biggest question mark is the status of
Nikola Jokić (GTD - Wrist). If he plays, this game becomes a premier fantasy contest. If
Nikola Jokić is out,
Jamal Murray will see a massive usage increase, and players like
Aaron Gordon and
Jonas Valančiūnas (listed as a Nugget) would become extremely valuable fantasy plays due to expanded roles in scoring and rebounding. Even with Jokic, Murray and Gordon are key offensive contributors.
