Julius Randle

Randle has put together a strong stretch of games recently, and this was his fourth straight making at least 50% of his shots. This was also his fifth 20-point double-double of the season, with two of those coming over their last three games. Minnesota seems to be figuring things out, and that has allowed them to win four of their last five games. They still have three more games this week, with a home matchup with the Warriors on Wednesday next on the schedule.

After scoring a total of 21 points over their last two games, Randle got back on track in this one as a scorer, and he was also able to record his first double-double since Christmas Day. Randle's tenure in Minnesota got off to a hot start, but he has regressed back to his normal shooting numbers in recent weeks. Performances like this are encouraging, but with the Timberwolves still figuring out exactly how this team fits together, Randle is a difficult player to rely on consistently. He'll look to keep it going against Memphis on Saturday to close out the week.

After struggling with foul trouble and poor shooting in Monday's win over the Clippers, Randle was better on Tuesday. He still only attempted 11 shots, three less than his season average (14.1), but the Timberwolves forward shot over 50% from the field and produced solid rebounds and steal numbers. With Mike Conley being moved to the bench, Randle's offensive production is something to watch over the next few games. His fantasy value may take a hit if Anthony Edwards runs into trouble as a playmaker.

The Timberwolves have made a change to their starting lineup. DiVincenzo is in, with Mike Conley headed to the bench. In addition to boosting DiVincenzo's fantasy value, Anthony Edwards will be the primary playmaker, possibly increasing his assist production.

Minnesota rallied and won at home, but Randle's stat line was concerning. He struggled with both foul trouble and consistency on Monday, with Anthony Edwards as the starting point guard and Mike Conley coming off the bench. Randle certainly shouldn't be dropped, but fantasy managers should watch his production if the Timberwolves stick with the lineup that started Monday's win.
