Impact Forbes has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday with a right ankle sprain. However, the 29-year-old guard hasn't played since Jan. 11, so he is unlikely to receive many minutes against the Magic.

Bryn Forbes - Listed as questionable Forbes (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Magic.
Impact Forbes continues to deal with a right ankle sprain, but his potential absence shouldn't impact Minnesota's rotation, as he hasn't seen game action since Jan. 11.

Taurean Prince - Questionable Friday Prince (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact Prince continues to deal with a left ankle sprain, but he's been available for the last two matchups. He's averaged 4.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game over his last two appearances, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be available Friday.

Rudy Gobert - Questionable vs. Magic Gobert (groin) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Magic, Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast' reports.
Impact Gobert missed Wednesday's overtime win over the Warriors due to right groin soreness -- an injury he's been dealing with since mid-January. He's played well when available, averaging 14.2 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.4 assists across his past five appearances. If the center sits out again Friday, Naz Reid, Nathan Knight and Luka Garza remain candidates to see expanded roles.

Naz Reid gives the Warriors — and Target Center — a jolt On a team like Minnesota's, Reid's minutes aren't guaranteed. But when they come, the big man is 'always ready.'

Austin Rivers - Positive impact in win Rivers amassed 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists, four rebounds, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 overtime victory over Golden S...
Impact The five assists tied a season-high total for Rivers, who has settled into a key role on the second unit. He's played at least 20 minutes in each of his last 11 appearances and should continue to be a mainstay in the Minnesota rotation until the team gets one or both of Jordan McLaughlin and Karl-Anthony Towns back from long-term absences due to calf strains.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden McDaniels - Swats away two shots McDaniels logged nine points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 overtime victory over Gol...
Impact McDaniels finally entered the stat column on the defensive end of the court after failing to record a defensive stat in his previous three matchups. It's typically been either feast or famine for the Washington product on the defensive end, but he was certainly locked in Wednesday evening. McDaniels is averaging 10.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his last 10 contests.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
D'Angelo Russell - Gets back on track Russell logged 29 points (11-23 FG, 7-17 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 119-114 overtime victory over the Warriors.
Impact Russell was held to only 10 points on 4-for-16 from the field and 2-for-10 from deep in his last appearance Monday against the Kings, but he managed to turn things around by dropping 29 points in Wednesday's victory. He scored 21 of his 29 points from deep, marking the second time in three games that he's drilled seven triples. Russell's scoring upside continues to be the most appealing aspect of his game for fantasy managers, as he's averaging 21.4 points and 4.3 made threes over his last 10 matchups.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Anderson - Snags 12 boards Anderson closed with nine points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 119-114 overtime win over Golden State.
Impact Anderson scored nine points for a third straight game, and he also set a new season high by collecting 12 rebounds. The UCLA product continues to show his versatility across the board, as he's tallied a block in four of his last five contests while putting together serviceable production in points, rebounds and assists.
FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Naz Reid - Steps up in Gobert's absence Reid ended Wednesday's 119-114 overtime win over Golden State with 24 points (10-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes.
Impact With starting center Rudy Gobert missing the game with a groin injury, Reid stepped in as the starting center and posted his best scoring effort since Dec. 19, when he poured in 27 points against the Mavericks. He also dominated on the boards to secure his first double-double of the new calendar year. Unless Gobert is dealing with a setback with the groin issue that cost him three straight games in January and forces additional absences, Reid likely won't be worth a pickup in the majority of leagues where he's still sitting on the waiver wire.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Naz Reid - Starting Wednesday Reid will enter the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors with Rudy Gobert (groin) unavailable.
Impact Reid has played well in a starting role this season with averages of 15.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 triples, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per contest, so he looks like a quality streamer tonight. Joining him in the first unit will be D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson.

Rudy Gobert - Ruled out Wednesday Gobert (groin) won't play in Wednesday's matchup with the Warriors.
Impact Gobert has been dealing with lingering soreness in his right groin and will be held out of Wednesday's tilt after playing through the issue in each of the team's previous five contests. Naz Reid will step into the first unit and immediately become a top streaming option and daily fantasy play while Nathan Knight and Luka Garza figure to vie for the backup center run. Gobert's next opportunity to suit up will come Friday against the Magic.
