Impact Reid led all bench players in Wednesday's contest in scoring, rebounds and assists while recording a team-high three blocks in extended time off the bench due to the absence of Rudy Gobert (hip). Reid tied a season high in rebounds while tallying his second game with 10 or more boards and notching his second double-double of the year.

Solid output off bench Reid closed with 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and nine rebounds over 27 minutes during Sunday's 115-108 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Reid was efficient from the field and delivered another solid display, reaching the 15-point mark for the third time over the last five contests. Even though he's had a fair share of ups and downs, which is to be expected given the nature of his bench role, but Reid has been a consistent performer off the bench for the Timberwolves this season. Through 35 outings, he's averaging 12.7 points and 4.7 rebounds while logging 22.3 minutes per game.

Hollywood Naz Reid amassed 21 points (8-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 108-106 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Reid stepped up with Karl-Anthony Towns struggling offensively and finding no rhythm whatsoever, looking out of sorts in a game that was tight throughout. Coach Chris Finch leaning on Reid in this context is encouraging, but Reid entered Saturday's contest averaging just 8.8 points in 19.7 minutes over his last six games. It's tough to trust him on a nightly basis given Minnesota's frontcourt logjam, but Reid is quietly averaging a career-high 12.9 points per game on elite 50.5/40.1/91.3 percent shooting.

Top scorer off bench in win Reid had 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Monday's 112-108 win over Miami.

Impact Reid led all bench players in Monday's game in scoring while ending as one of five Timberwolves players with a double-digit point total and once again providing a much-needed offensive spark on Minnesota's second unit. Reid has been outstanding off the Timberwolves bench this season, posting 15 or more points in 10 games including in four straight contests.

Efficient off bench Saturday Reid contributed 17 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds over 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-109 win over the Pacers.

Impact Reid continues to make an impact when coming off the bench, and it wouldn't be a stretch to say he's been one of the most productive second-unit players in the Western Conference, and perhaps in the entire league. Reid has been a regular scoring alternative for the TImberwolves despite his secondary role, and he's averaging 15.1 points per game over his last 10 games while scoring in double digits eight times in that span.

Impact Reid tied a franchise record with seven threes made off the bench in the win, and his contributions were pivotal as Minnesota sparked a comeback following a slow start in the first quarter. Reid has been forced to play off the bench since Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are the starting frontcourt, but he's finding ways to make an impact, particularly on the offensive end. Over his last 10 games, Reid is averaging 14.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while also scoring in double digits in each of his last five appearances.

Nears double-double off bench Reid finished with 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 24 minutes in Friday's 127-103 win over Memphis.

Impact Reid finished second on the team in scoring and as one of seven Timberwolves players with a double-digit point total while ending one board short of a double-double performance. Reid has provided a boost to Minnesota's second unit this season, posting 10 or more points in 16 games this year. He has finished with at least 10 points and nine rebounds in two straight outings.

Impact This was Reid's second-highest scoring game of the season, his best mark since Oct. 28 (25 points).

Productive off bench Sunday Reid provided 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 119-97 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Reid has a complicated path toward earning more regular playing time given that Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert are playing exceptionally well together as the starting frontcourt. However, Reid is making the most of his minutes, and he can be a decent waiver pickup in fantasy despite his steady bench role. He has scored in double digits in six of his last eight outings, averaging 10.6 points and 3.4 rebounds while logging just 19.0 minutes per game in that span.

Logs another efficient performance Reid posted 13 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and a steal in Minnesota's 133-115 loss to the Suns on Wednesday.

Impact Although the Timberwolves broke their seven-game win streak, Reid continues to shine in his role as the sixth man, leading all bench scorers for the ninth time this season. The 24-year-old center is averaging 13.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.4 blocks in 21.5 minutes thus far, on a remarkable 44.4 percent from three. Whether he maintains this efficiency has yet to be determined, but expect Reid to continue producing solid statlines on a nightly basis regardless.

Deemed game-time call Sunday Reid (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against Golden State.

Impact Reid was forced to exit Friday's matchup against San Antonio due to neck spasms, and he's since been added to the injury report with neck soreness. The Timberwolves should determine Reid's availability after re-evaluating him Sunday morning.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves game with neck issue Reid left Friday's game against the Spurs with neck spasms and wasn't able to return to the game.

Impact The Timberwolves initially called Reid questionable to return, but there were only a few minutes left in the fourth quarter at that time. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Warriors. If he's unable to play, we'd likely see some smaller lineups with guys like Kyle Anderson and Shake Milton benefitting.

Displays two-way play off bench Reid accumulated 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Monday's 114-109 overtime victory over Boston.

Impact Reid led all bench players in Monday's contest in scoring while finishing as one of four Wolves players with a double-digit point total in an impressive victory over the Celtics. Reid showcased his two-way play in the win, tallying a team-high block total while swiping a team-high-tying pair of steals in 25 minutes of action.

Impact Reid was a standout performer for Minnesota in this one, and he managed to outplay both Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns despite not starting. Reid is not expected to move to the starting lineup regardless of how good he looks, as that would mean sending Towns or Gobert to the second unit, but his numbers have been quite good. Through two games, Reid has racked up 35 points, 12 rebounds, two assists and two steals.

Impact Even with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) getting the night off, Reid remained in his usual role as the frontcourt anchor for the second unit and produced impressive numbers. The contract extension he signed over the summer could keep him in Minnesota through 2025-26, and the commitment from the team suggests his workload could increase from the 18.4 minutes a night he saw in 2022-23, even if Towns and Rudy Gobert stay mostly healthy.
