The Minnesota Timberwolves (26-21) withstood a furious rally from the Phoenix Suns (24-22) and extended their win streak to four with a 121-113 victory on January 30.
Minnesota Timberwolves Top Performers:
Anthony Edwards 33 PTS | 4 BLK | 7 TO | 59.9 FPS
Edwards delivered another standout offensive performance, scoring 28+ points in seven of his last nine games. He’s maintained strong contributions across multiple categories this month and stepped up defensively in his last two outings, but his turnovers continue to take a toll on his fantasy value.
Julius Randle 28 PTS | 7 REB | 6 AST | 54.4 FPS
Randle has scored 20+ points in three straight games despite his continuing struggles from deep. He’s kept his rebounding and playmaking intact while reliably adding steals to his stat line.
Jaden McDaniels 14 PTS | 6 REB | 2 STL | 30.7 FPS
McDaniels continues to be an elite defensive asset, recording multiple stocks 11 times this month. He’s also shown consistent impact in other areas, scoring in double digits, recording strong rebounds, and hitting at least one three in eight straight games.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker 23 PTS | 5-10 3PT | 4 REB | 27.3 FPS
NAW stepped up with a season-high in points today. He has a steady role off the bench but hasn’t made a significant impact with limited touches. However, he could see more offensive opportunities if Reid remains sidelined.
Rudy Gobert 4 PTS | 5 REB | 2 BLK | 19.5 FPS
Gobert has been highly inconsistent this month, posting eight double-digit scoring games and eight double-digit rebound performances in 15 outings, with the rest being lackluster. But his defense has been a bright spot lately, averaging three stocks over his last five games.
Phoenix Suns Top Performers:
Kevin Durant 33 PTS | 7 AST | 4 BLK | 63.9 FPS
KD has been an offensive machine, scoring 23+ points in every game this month with elite percentages. He’s also turned it up from the three-point line—drilling at least four threes in his last four outings, all while maintaining solid impact in multiple areas.
Devin Booker 28 PTS | 8 AST | 9 TO | 35.8 FPS
Booker has struggled with his three-point shooting lately, leading to a slight decline in his scoring output twice. But he’s remained a reliable offensive force, racking up 26+ points in nine games this month. He’s a strong option for Points leagues but his overall fantasy value in 9-cat leagues has become less appealing due to minimal defensive contributions and high turnover rate.
Bradley Beal 17 PTS | 6 AST | 1 STL | 32.6 FPS
Beal delivered a decent performance today, proving he’s still worth holding onto. He’s struggled to find his fit with the team, but a potential move could unlock better fantasy production.
Grayson Allen 11 PTS | 3-6 3PT | 7 REB | 24.9 FPS
Allen is gradually finding his offensive rhythm while also ramping up his defensive contributions.
Royce O’Neale 4 PTS | 5 REB | 2 STL | 17.5 FPS
O’Neale has been racking up steals in his last two games and remains a capable three-point shooter and steady rebounder. But he hasn’t really made a significant impact as of late.
Biggest Disappointment of the Game:
Nick Richards 7 PTS | 5 REB | 2 TO
Richards’s initial impact with the Suns was undeniable, putting up incredible numbers in his first few games. But his performance has considerably dropped in his last two, making his long-term potential a concern.
