Austin

Rivers

Chris Finch suggested that KAT would play in this game, since they have a chance to move up in the standings with a win. With Rudy Gobert set to be a game-time decision, KAT could receive a rebounding boost as the only center in the lineup. Rivers will be available for the first time in about two weeks, but he won’t play enough to impact fantasy basketball.

Both Rivers and Nowell have spent the majority of the past month on the bench due to ailments. Nowell’s knee has bothered him all season, while Rivers is on the verge of missing two straight weeks due to an illness. Even if either player is available, they won’t see enough minutes to be worth rostering in any format.

Make it four straight games on the sideline due to illness for Rivers. This will not impact fantasy basketball, as he’s on the back end of the rotation when healthy.

Nowell and Rivers have both missed time recently due to injury, so there’s no guarantee either will be available on Saturday. This will not significantly impact fantasy basketball due to Minnesota’s perimeter depth.

Nowell and Rivers will miss a fourth straight game for the Wolves, but neither of their absences will have a massive impact in fantasy basketball.

Rivers has missed their last three games with an illness, so it would be pretty surprising if it holds him out for a fourth. However, even if he’s available, it’s unlikely that he plays a large enough role to impact fantasy basketball.

Rivers will miss another game due to illness, but this will not impact fantasy basketball. He’s played in three games since the beginning of March.

Due largely to back spasms and an illness, Rivers has appeared in just three games since the beginning of March. Even if he’s cleared to play on Sunday, the veteran guard is unlikely to get the minutes needed to be a factor in fantasy basketball.

Rivers will miss a second straight game with the illness that is currently plaguing the Timberwolves. However, even when he’s healthy, he doesn’t see enough minutes to impact fantasy basketball.

Rivers missed Wednesday’s game, and he could make it two straight with this illness. However, he doesn’t play a large role for them, so this won’t impact fantasy basketball.
