NAZ REID NEWS

Ready to go Friday Reid (calf) is available for Friday's game against Chicago.

Impact Reid will play in his second straight contest despite carrying a questionable tag. Rudy Gobert (ankle) has also been cleared to play, meaning Reid is likely looking at minutes in the teens against the Bulls.

Questionable Friday Reid (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against Chicago.

Impact Reid returned from a one-game absence Wednesday against the Celtics, but he's still dealing with a sore left calf ahead of Friday's matchup. Rudy Gobert (ankle) is also questionable, so if Reid is cleared to play, his role will likely depend on whether Gobert is available.

Strong showing off bench in return Reid (calf) finished Wednesday's 104-102 loss to the Celtics with 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes.

Impact Back in action after a one-game absence, Reid slotted back into his familiar role as the Timberwolves' backup center and finished with a bench-leading scoring total. He didn't overlap with Rudy Gobert (29 minutes) at any point during the contest, however, and unless Gobert misses time due to injury or succumbs to foul trouble on a given night, Reid looks like he may struggle to push past 20 minutes on any sort of regular basis.

Absent from injury report Reid (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Reid missed Monday's tilt with left calf soreness but is back in action for Wednesday's contest. He should step into his usual backup center role behind Rudy Gobert. Reid has averaged just 8.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game over his last three appearances.

Questionable Wednesday Reid (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Reid missed the last game due to his calf injury, which allowed Luka Garza to get some extended run in the rotation behind Rudy Gobert. However, Gobert is also being listed as questionable for Wednesday's game due to his nagging left ankle sprain, so if both Reid and Gobert are forced to the sidelines, Garza would be on the radar as a potential streamer.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Monday Reid (left calf soreness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Reid wasn't on any of the initial injury reports, so he might have tweaked his calf during warmups. For now, he should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, but with Rudy Gobert healthy, it's tough for Reid to get the minutes he needs to impact most leagues.

Adds 15 points off bench Reid closed with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 110-102 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Reid fared well off the bench in this one by shooting 50.0 percent from the field and finishing in double figures for his fourth straight contest. He's also been a consistent source of rebounds for fantasy managers, now averaging 6.3 rebounds with 13.4 points, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals over his last eight games.

Back to bench Reid will return to the bench Tuesday against the Clippers, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reports.

Impact Rudy Gobert (illness) rejoins the starting lineup after one game on the sidelines. Reid is coming off one of the best performances of his career Sunday, so it's going to be interesting to see if he's earned more run from the coaching staff.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Career-best night Sunday Reid recorded 30 points (12-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, two blocks and five steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 109-104 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Reid replaced Rudy Gobert (illness) in the starting lineup Sunday and certainly made the most of his opportunity. Although he has had some nice moments this season, anyone who streamed him in could not have expected a performance like this. He led the team in points, rebounds, steals, blocks and three-pointers, delivering arguably the best overall line of the night. Unfortunately, Gobert is unlikely to miss significant time, meaning Reid will likely shift back to his usual bench role in the very near future.

Starting Sunday Reid is starting Sunday against the Warriors.

Impact Reid came off the bench in his last four appearances but will rejoin the starting lineup since Rudy Gobert (illness) is unavailable. Over 10 starts this year, Reid has averaged 15.1 points and 6.8 rebounds in 25.1 minutes per game.

Moves back to bench Reid isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Reid will be replaced by Rudy Gobert in the starting lineup Friday. The 23-year-old big man is averaging 16.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks in his eight games as a starter this season, but his numbers are significantly less impressive as a reserve.

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.

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.

Pops for 14 points Saturday Reid notched 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds in 13 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 win over the Kings.

Impact Reid scored 14 points in 13 minutes, though he offered little else outside of the points column. With Rudy Gobert back in the fold, Reid has shifted back to the bench, rendering him a non-factor in fantasy. He is always a player to monitor given what he can do when handed a sizeable role. Unfortunately, that is only going to come if and when Gobert is out.
