Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Double-doubles in win
Rotowire
Randle popped off for 32 points (11-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 10 rebounds and six assists across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 win over the Wizards.
Randle was held to a season-low 12 points on 4-for-16 shooting his last time out, so it was nice to see him bounce back in a big way Wednesday evening. This was Randle's fourth double-double of the season and the Timberwolves' second straight win. Minnesota has not lost a game this season when Randle has notched a double-double.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Well-rounded performance in loss
Rotowire
Randle logged 26 points (9-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes during Saturday's 123-112 loss to Denver.
Randle delivered another productive performance Saturday, stuffing the stat sheet in the loss. However, the 30-year-old struggled from three-point range once again and has shot just 28.6 percent from downtown in his last five games. Still, he led the Timberwolves in assists and matched the team lead in points. The star forward also tallied multiple steals for the second time in his last three games.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Posts double-double Friday
Rotowire
Randle totaled 26 points (9-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 124-110 victory over the Kings.
Anthony Edwards led the way for the Timberwolves with a 30-point performance, but Randle had an excellent game as well with a double-double -- his first of the season. Points and rebounds aside, Randle also notched at least five dimes for the fourth time in his last six games. The star forward has been an excellent complement for Edwards on offense and should remain a valuable fantasy option in all formats due to his strong start to the season. He has scored at least 20 points in eight of his 12 regular-season contests to date while adding at least seven rebounds in eight outings as well.

Rotowire
Randle registered 27 points (7-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 12-13 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 120-113 victory over Utah.
Randle was productive in all facets Monday, posting 27 points while contributing on the glass, as a facilitator and defensively. The power forward has maintained a strong start to the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 23.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.4 steals over Minnesota's past five games. While Anthony Edwards drives the offense, Randle remains a key focal point capable of delivering big performances.

Timberwolves' Julius Randle: Hits for 19 in win over Kings
Rotowire
Randle recorded 19 points (8-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 144-117 victory over Sacramento.
The veteran forward has arguably been the most stable fantasy asset in the NBA to begin the season. Randle's 19 points Sunday were a low-water mark through 10 games, and he's failed to pick up at least one block or steal only once in those contests. In 33.2 minutes a game, he's averaging 25.2 points, 7.1 boards, 6.1 assists, 2.1 threes and 1.1 steals while shooting 54.9 percent from the floor and what would be a career-high 41.2 percent from three-point range.

Rotowire
Randle supplied 19 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 10 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 137-97 victory over the Jazz.
Anthony Edwards led the way in scoring for the Timberwolves with a 37-point outburst, but even though Randle took a step back in scoring, he still posted an impressive stat line. Randle has recorded two triple-doubles in his last three games, and he's also been a consistent scoring weapon -- he's posted at least 19 points in every game so far. Through nine contests, Randle is averaging 25.9 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game.

Rotowire

As good as Randle was on the offensive end in this one, he could have done a better job on the glass, and the turnovers were an issue. The Wolves turned the ball over 17 times in this one, which resulted in 21 points for the Knicks, and they were outrebounded 50-31 in the losing effort. Rudy Gobert finished with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two turnovers and zero defensive stats in the 23-point defeat.

Randle posted his first triple-double of the season, setting season highs in rebounds and assists. He wasn't quite as effective as a scorer in this one, but he still managed to near the 20-point threshold by regularly getting to the charity stripe. The Kentucky product is averaging 27.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.4 steals over his last five games.

Randle tied the game-high mark in points and was one of six Minnesota players to reach double figures. The star forward has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four appearances, and he's averaging 27.2 points while shooting 56.4 percent from the field in 34.8 minute per contest across six regular-season appearances. With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) expected to miss an extended period, Randle will likely continue to shoulder an increased offensive workload.

Rotowire
Randle racked up 33 points (10-20 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 9-10 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 loss to the Lakers.
With Anthony Edwards (hamstring) sidelined, the rest of Minnesota's starting lineup came through in a big way. Randle and Jaden McDaniels exploded and provided 63 of the team's 115 points in a hotly-contested match that came down to the final seconds. Wednesday marked Randle's best scoring performance of the season, and he should continue to excel during Edwards' absence, which is expected to last a minimum of two weeks.

The veteran power forward has been hot out of the gate in 2025-26, shooting 56.5 percent from the floor and 42.9 percent from beyond the arc, both of which would be career highs. Randle is also supplying his usual production as a rebounder and distributor, and through four games, he's averaging 25.0 points, 6.8 boards, 5.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.3 steals.

Randle was hot from the jump in this one, piling up 11 points in his first nine minutes of play, and he saw a nice uptick in usage with Anthony Edwards (hamstring) leaving the game early. If Edwards needs to miss Monday's game against the Nuggets, Randle could be headed for another big night for Minnesota.
