Knight contributed eight points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 124-111 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Knight slid up in the rotation Monday after Naz Reid was ruled out with back spasms. He came through with what was a decent performance, including a season-high eight rebounds. If Reid is forced to miss additional time, Knight could be worth a look in deeper formats for anyone in need of a cheap center.

Knight logged 16 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 150-126 victory over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Knight made the most of a good situation, putting together easily his best game of the season. Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) and Rudy Gobert (ankle) remain out and Naz Reid (shoulder) lasted only 12 minutes before exiting. Knight is basically the only center option the Timberwolves have left, meaning he is certainly worth grabbing should Reid and Gobert be forced to miss further time.

Knight closed with four points (2-2 FG) in four minutes during Monday's 133-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Knight saw action for the first time this month and the 10th time all season. The fact he scored a season-high four points says everything you need to know about his fantasy appeal or lack thereof. It's always lovely to see fringe players getting some additional run, but from a fantasy perspective, there is obviously nothing to see here.

Knight posted 11 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 10 minutes in Thursday's 114-99 preseason win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Knight made the most of his 10 minutes of court time. The preseason will offer a bit more freedom for the frontcourt with Karl-Anthony Towns sitting frequently, and Knight is one player who is taking advantage. After working as a two-way player last year, Knight is expected to be a mainstay on the roster for 2022-23.

Knight scored 14 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-9 FT) with seven rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes against Miami on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Knight did not record a field goal in the first half, with his only points coming on 3-of-4 shooting from the free-throw line. However, the forward did grab four of his team-high seven rebounds in the first quarter, three of which came on the offensive end. Knight would finish the game by going 4-of-5 from the field with 10 points in the second half.

Knight signed a standard NBA contract with the Timberwolves on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Knight played on a two-way contract with Minnesota last season and made 37 appearances at the NBA level, posting 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds across 7.2 minutes per game. The third-year pro may see an increased role during the 2022-23 campaign, though Naz Reid figures to be the primary backup to recently acquired Rudy Gobert.

Knight closed with 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes during Sunday's 124-120 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Knight hadn't appeared in any of the last five games, but he saw increased work in the regular-season finale since the Timberwolves leaned on their bench players ahead of the play-in tournament. The 24-year-old is unlikely to be part of the team's rotation during the play-in tournament.

Knight totaled 33 points (11-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds, four blocks, two steals and one assist in 35 minutes during Friday's 107-103 win over the Oklahoma City Blue.
EDGE Analysis
Knight completely dominated during his first appearance with Iowa this season, finishing with game highs in points, rebounds and blocks. Shortly after the contest, he was transferred back to the NBA club.

Knight was transferred to the Timberwolves on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Knight finished Iowa's 107-103 win over the Oklahoma City Blue with a game-high 33 points and 12 rebounds. He hasn't played double-digit minutes at the NBA level since Jan. 3, so it's unlikely he garners a big enough role to be fantasy relevant during his stint with Minnesota.

Knight was transferred to the G League's Iowa Wolves on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Knight had been with the parent club since late December, but he didn't see the floor in any of the last eight games. He should see more run in the G League after he averaged 3.1 points and 2.1 rebounds in 6.9 minutes per game across 28 appearances with Minnesota to begin the year.
