Anthony Edwards (foot) is available to play against the Raptors on Thursday.

Edwards was added to the injury report Thursday afternoon, but he will be good to go. He’s coming off a 41-point performance in a win over the Grizzlies on Tuesday and will look to stay hot in this one.

Darius Garland (toe) is out for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Friday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Clippers, who visit the Grizzlies on Saturday. Garland won’t be available for the matchup with the Spurs, which will likely result in more on-ball responsibility for Kris Dunn, who’s already in the starting lineup.

Jaylen Clark (illness) is available to play against the Raptors on Thursday.

Clark was initially listed as questionable for this game, but he will be good to go. He hasn’t seen the floor in each of the Timberwolves’ last four games, and even if that changes, he won’t play enough to impact fantasy basketball.

Anthony Edwards is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Raptors due to right foot injury maintenance.

Edwards has been battling some soreness and pain in his foot throughout the season, but he hasn’t missed a game since January 26th. With an off-day tomorrow, it would be a bit of a surprise for Edwards to miss this one. If he does, Ayo Dosunmu would likely move into a starting role.

Darius Garland finished Wednesday’s win over the Pacers with 12 points (5-of-10 FGs), four rebounds, eight assists and two three-pointers.

Garland’s playing time did not change much in his second appearance as a Clipper, with the 24 minutes being one more than his tally in Monday’s win over the Warriors. That said, he looked a bit more comfortable with his new teammates this time around, recording eight assists with two turnovers. Garland, who was responsible for five turnovers in his Clippers’ debut, also shot 50 percent from the field on Wednesday. While the Clippers play two more games in Week 19, the back-to-back likely means Garland will only be available for one.

Brook Lopez finished Wednesday’s win over the Pacers wiht 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer.

Limited to six points in Monday’s win over the Warriors, Lopez nearly tripled his output in Wednesday’s blowout of the Pacers. The veteran center played 21 minutes, with the playing time taking a slight hit with the game being a blowout. At a minimum, the Clippers won’t have backup center Yanic Konan-Niederhäuser (foot) for their next two games, so that may result in a slight increase in playing time for Lopez. However, given how his workload has been managed, that isn’t guaranteed.

Bennedict Mathuin accounted for 23 points (8-of-11 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Pacers.

Playing against the Pacers for the first time since being traded to the Clippers, Mathurin had an excellent night off the bench. The fourth-year guard shot the ball well from the field and the charity stripe while recording a complete stat line. Mathurin did his damage in 22 minutes, with his playing time being affected by the Clippers winning by a 130-107 final score. Since the trade, he’s averaged just over 29 minutes per game, so opportunities have not been hard to come by for Mathurin in his new home.

Yanic Konan-Niederhäuser (foot) will not travel with the Clippers for their two-game road trip to end the week.

Konan-Niederhäuser (foot) injured his right foot during the first half of Wednesday’s win over the Pacers. More will be learned about the severity of the injury on Thursday, and the rookie has already been ruled out for games in San Antonio (Friday) and Memphis (Saturday). If Konan-Niederhäuser has to miss time, Isaiah Jackson would slide into the backup center role. He played 18 minutes against the Pacers, finishing with 10 points, four rebounds, two assists and three blocked shots.

Kawhi Leonard tallied 29 points (10-of-18 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Pacers.

Leonard only played 30 minutes on Wednesday, with the blowout ending his night after just three quarters. His consistent excellence has made him one of the best players in fantasy basketball this season, with the Clippers’ star last failing to score at least 20 points in a game on November 20. The Clippers play two more games in Week 19, but it’s a back-to-back. With the Spurs being on the slate for Friday and the Grizzlies the following night, it would be unsurprising if Leonard sits out the latter for injury management reasons.

Yanic Konan-Niederhäuser (foot) will not return to Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

Konan-Niederhäuser injured his right foot when he landed awkwardly after attempting to block an Aaron Nesmith layup attempt during the first half of Wednesday’s game. While the rookie center required assistance getting back to the locker room, he was able to put some weight on his right foot. Isaiah Jackson has entered the rotation and will likely slide into the backup center role if Konan-Niederhäuser misses time.

John Collins (neck) will not travel with the Clippers for their upcoming road trip.

Collins, who was diagnosed with a strained neck following Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, was already ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers. He’ll also miss the team’s road back-to-back against the Spurs and Grizzlies on Friday and Saturday, meaning the soonest that he’ll play is on Monday. Kobe Sanders replaced Collins in the starting lineup the last time out and could hold onto that role for a few games.

Joe Ingles (personal) is out for Thursday’s game against the Raptors.

Ingles is away from the Timberwolves for personal reasons. Hopefully, his absence won’t be for too long.

Kyle Anderson finished Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies with two points (2-of-2 FTs) and one rebound.

Beginning his second stint with the Timberwolves, Anderson was thrust into the rotation immediately. While the playing time and production weren’t enough to make SloMo someone worth considering in fantasy leagues, his addition did extend Minnesota’s rotation to nine players. Mike Conley, who has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball, picked up another DNP-CD, while Bones Hyland (six points, two rebounds and two three-pointers) played just 12 minutes off the bench.

Julius Randle recorded 23 points (7-of-15 FGs, 9-of-12 FTs), 11 rebounds and four assists in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Randle entered Tuesday averaging 12.4 points per game on 35.7 shooting since the All-Star break. While he didn’t make any of his four three-point attempts, the Timberwolves forward shot 7-of-11 from two and scored nine points at the foul line. Tuesday’s performance was much-needed for Randle and those who roster him, even without any defensive stats on his line.

Anthony Edwards amassed 41 points (15-of-29 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, two assists, five steals, one block and seven three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Edwards put on a show against the Grizzlies, recording his second 40-point game since the All-Star break and making it nine this season with 40 or more. He shot 4-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter, with three of the makes coming from beyond the arc. Even better for fantasy managers was that Edwards did more than score, as he recorded a robust stat line with production across the board. The Timberwolves play twice more during Week 19, starting with the Raptors on Thursday.

John Collins (neck) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

Collins remains out with a strained neck and has now missed four of the Clippers’ last five games. Kobe Sanders was the replacement in the starting lineup the last time out, with Nicolas Batum being another possibility.

Anthony Edwards (foot) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Edwards was a late addition to the injury report, which is usually a bad sign for a player’s availability. However, he will be good to go against Memphis and will occupy his typical role as he looks to help Minnesota win a fourth straight game.

Anthony Edwards (foot) is now questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Edwards is a late addition to the Timberwolves’ injury report for right foot injury management. If he’s unable to play, the Timberwolves will have to rely more on Julius Randle, who has struggled in recent games. Bones Hyland will also take on a bigger role, possibly moving into the starting lineup.

Yanic Konan-Niederhäuser accumulated 11 points (3-of-6 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, two steals and four blocked shots in Monday’s win over the Clippers.

Brook Lopez (six points, four rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes) remains the Clippers’ starting center, but Konan-Niederhäuser has earned more playing time recently. On Monday, the rookie played 21 minutes and finished with an excellent stat line. Konan-Niederhäuser became the ninth Clippers rookie in franchise history to have multiple games of at least four blocked shots. Also, he became the second reserve in the last 30 years to record at least 11 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and two steals in a game, joining Montrezl Harrell. Rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, Konan-Niederhäuser has provided 11th-round value over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster.

Darius Garland (toe) accounted for 12 points (4-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Warriors.

Garland made his long-awaited Clippers debut on Monday, and he did so coming off the bench. That was done for injury management reasons, with the point guard playing 23 minutes. There’s some work to be done establishing on-court chemistry with his teammates, as evidenced by Garland committing five turnovers. However, the most important takeaway for Monday was that he looked comfortable playing on the right great toe that sidelined him for six weeks. The Clippers’ final three games of Week 19 include a back-to-back, so Garland may only be available for two.

Kris Dunn tallied 16 points (7-of-10 FGs), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Warriors.

Dunn isn’t required to be a prolific scorer for the Clippers, and he doesn’t need to be to make an impact. He had a good night shooting the ball against the Warriors, however, making 70 percent of his attempts. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was a good night for those with Dunn rostered. At some point, Dunn will be sharing the starting backcourt with Darius Garland, and his defensive ability will be of greater importance. He remains a player who should only be rostered in deep fantasy leagues.

Kawhi Leonard finished Monday’s win over the Warriors with 23 points (9-of-14 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and three three-pointers.

After starting slowly, the Clippers grabbed control of Monday’s game with a balanced offensive effort. Six players finished the game in double figures, with Leonard leading the way. Having entered the game averaging a career-best 27.9 points per game, he’s scored at least 20 in every game he’s played this season except for three. Leonard was highly efficient against the Warriors, and his final line only lacked a blocked shot. The Clippers play three more games in Week 19, starting with the Pacers on Wednesday.

Kris Dunn, Kobe Sanders, Derrick Jones Jr., Kawhi Leonard and Brook Lopez will start Monday’s game against the Warriors.

The Clippers won’t have John Collins (neck) for Monday’s game, so Sanders moves into the starting lineup. While this gives the rookie’s fantasy value a slight boost, he may not play starters’ minutes, as Darius Garland will make his Clippers debut in a reserve role.

Darius Garland (toe) is off the injury report for Monday’s game against the Warriors.

It was reported over the weekend that Garland planned to make his Clippers debut on Monday, and now it’s official. Given the amount of time he’s missed, fantasy managers should expect Garland’s playing time to be limited for his first few games. Kris Dunn has been running the point, but he’ll likely shift off the ball whenever Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue decides to start Garland.

John Collins (neck) is out for Monday’s game against the Warriors.

While Collins left Sunday’s win over the Pelicans holding his arm after a collision with Derik Queen, the reason for his absence is listed as a sore neck. Nicolas Batum replaced Collins in the lineup when he missed two games with head and neck injuries, and that will likely be the case on Monday. However, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Batum.

John Collins (arm) had 15 points (5-of-14 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), seven rebounds, one assist, two steals and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans.

Collins was having a good game with 15 points and seven rebounds before running into Pelicans big man Derik Queen in the second half. The 28-year-old power forward left the floor holding his arm and in immense pain. Clippers coach Ty Lue had no update on Collins’ health status after the game. If Collins is out, Nicolas Batum would likely start again, though he isn’t worth streaming.

Kawhi Leonard had 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the Clippers’ 137-117 victory over the Pelicans on Sunday.

Leonard returned after missing Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a sore left ankle. The 34-year-old small forward led the Clippers in scoring in the 20-point victory over the Pelicans on Sunday. Leonard has provided top-25 overall per game value over the last two weeks. The Clippers have four games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Warriors on Monday.

John Collins (head, neck) is available for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

Collins is back after a two-game absence, giving the Clippers needed depth and production in the frontcourt. His return means that Nicolas Batum will come off the bench. Batum was not worth streaming when inserted into the starting lineup, so nothing changes regarding his fantasy value.

Julius Randle had 14 points (5-of-12 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday’s win over the Nuggets.

Randle had just four points and was 1-of-10 from the field in Thursday’s win over the Clippers. The 31-year-old power forward bounced back Sunday, though he still struggled with his shot a bit. Randle was just one rebound and three assists shy of recording a triple-double.

Donte DiVincenzo had 17 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, two steals and five three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Nuggets.

DiVincenzo is heating up as the 29-year-old shooting guard posted at least 17 points and at least four three-pointers for the third consecutive game. The assists and steals have helped him forge an exemplary fantasy basketball season. DiVincenzo has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster.

Anthony Edwards had 21 points (9-of-19 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in the Timberwolves’ 117-108 victory over the Nuggets on Sunday.

21 points feels low for Edwards, but Minnesota had five other players in double digits. The 24-year-old shooting guard wasn’t particularly efficient. Edwards and the Timberwolves maintained their reputation for having the Nuggets’ number with yet another win over Denver. The Timberwolves have three games in the upcoming week, starting with a matchup against the Grizzlies on Tuesday.

Julius Randle (back) is available for Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game with back spasms, Randle will be available to play. He’ll look to bounce back from his worst performance of the season, a four-point showing against the Clippers on Thursday in which he shot 1-of-10 from the field.

NBA insider Chris Haynes reports that Darius Garland (toe) plans to make his Clippers debut on Monday against the Warriors.

It was reported last week that Garland, who injured his right great toe while with the Cavaliers, was targeting Monday for his Clippers’ debut. Haynes’ report is further confirmation of this, with Garland having already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans. Given the time that he’s missed, the point guard will likely be under a minutes restriction for his first few games back.

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is not on the injury report for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

Leonard, who missed Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves with a sore left ankle, did not participate in Saturday’s practice due to an illness. But he has been removed from the injury report for Sunday’s game, which means that the Clippers star will be available. Bennedict Mathurin is likely headed to the bench, but he should still be rostered in most leagues.

Julius Randle (back) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.

Randle is dealing with back spasms, which is why he appears on the Timberwolves’ injury report. He’s yet to miss a game this season, and his absence on Sunday would result in more scoring opportunities for Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid. As for who moves into the starting lineup, Reid is a potential replacement, as is Terrence Shannon Jr.

John Collins (head, neck) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

Collins, who has missed the Clippers’ last two games with head and neck injuries, fully participated in Saturday’s practice. If he’s able to return on Sunday, Collins will likely bump Nicolas Batum to the bench.

Kawhi Leonard (ankle, illness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

Leonard, who missed the Clippers’ loss to the Timberwolves on Thursday with a sore ankle, was not at practice on Sunday due to illness. The good news for fantasy managers is that the illness was the sole reason cited for his inability to practice. If Leonard returns on Sunday, Bennedict Mathurin will likely return to the bench.

Darius Garland (toe) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

Garland is still not ready to make his Clippers’ debut, as he will sit out Sunday’s game. However, it was reported recently that the point guard could be available for Monday’s game against the Warriors. Kris Dunn will continue to run the point as long as Garland is out.

Kris Dunn finished Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves with 11 points (4-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal.

Dunn has not offered much value as a scorer, and that is unsurprising. However, he was productive against the Timberwolves, scoring in double figures for the first time in four games while also recording seven assists. Since the trade deadline, Dunn has provided 10th-round per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. While that isn’t terrible value, it hasn’t been enough to move the needle among most fantasy managers.

Bennedict Mathurin accounted for 14 points (4-of-14 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

With no Kawhi Leonard or John Collins, Mathurin moved into the starting lineup for the first time since being traded to the Clippers. And given those absences, it appeared that he would be the offensive focal point. Unfortunately for Mathurin and those who were hoping he would have a big night, the Clippers wing ran into Jaden McDaniels. Mathurin struggled to get to his spots for most of the night, resulting in an inefficient night at the office.

Derrick Jones Jr. amassed 18 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), one rebound, one assist, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Timberwolves.

Since returning to the Clippers’ starting lineup, Jones has reached double figures in five of his last eight games. Thursday’s performance was among the best, with “Airplane Mode” leading the way on a night when the Clippers didn’t have Kawhi Leonard or John Collins. Jones offers limited fantasy value when the Clippers are whole, but he’s capable of providing greater offensive value, as he did on Thursday. LA plays its last game of Week 18 on Sunday against the Pelicans.

Julius Randle tallied four points (1-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds and six assists in Thursday’s win over the Clippers.

Randle had a rough night in Inglewood, producing his lowest scoring output of the season. Fantasy managers were able to salvage something due to the six assists, but this was a disappointing night for the Timberwolves’ forward. Naz Reid (11 points, seven rebounds, one steal and two blocks) and Jaden McDaniels (12/7/2/3) stepped up, supplementing Anthony Edwards’ 31-point night to help the Timberwolves escape with the 94-88 victory. Randle will look to bounce back when Minnesota visits Denver on Sunday.

Donte DiVincenzo accounted for 18 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and four three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Clippers.

DiVincenzo has made at least three three-pointers in four straight games, knocking down four against the Clippers. The assists and steals have been just as important over the past week for the Timberwolves’ guard, who has been a top-50 player. DiVincenzo and the Timberwolves have one more game in Week 18, on Sunday against the Nuggets in Denver.

Anthony Edwards finished Thursday’s win over the Clippers with 31 points (12-of-24 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers.

Edwards leads the NBA in points scored in road games, and he was at his best during the second half of Thursday’s victory. He scored 21 points after halftime, including a three-pointer over two defenders with 42.9 seconds remaining that gave the Timberwolves a four-point lead. While the shot selection can be an adventure at times, Edwards is one of the NBA’s most lethal scorers. And when he’s shooting as well as he did in the second half of Thursday’s game, Ant-Man is nearly impossible to stop.

Kris Dunn, Bennedict Mathurin, Derrick Jones Jr., Nicolas Batum and Brook Lopez will start Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

The Clippers won’t have Kawhi Leonard or John Collins for Thursday’s game. Mathurin and Batum move into the starting lineup, with the former’s addition being far more impactful. Already rostered in most fantasy leagues, Mathurin should be the Clippers’ first scoring option with Leonard sidelined. Batum can provide three-pointers and steals, but the production has been limited this season.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Grizzlies and Kyle Anderson have agreed to a contract buyout.

Anderson has missed Memphis’ last four games, the last two for personal reasons. He’s reportedly leaving Memphis, with Charania reporting that Anderson plans to sign with the Timberwolves once he clears waivers. To address the opening on their roster and lack of frontcourt depth, the Grizzlies are reportedly signing Taj Gibson.

John Collins (head, neck) has been ruled out against the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Collins will miss a second straight game with this head injury. Kobe Sanders started in his place in the Clippers’ last game, while Jordan Miller saw a bump in minutes off the bench. Both should play similar roles in this game.

Kawhi Leonard (ankle) is out for Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Initially questionable for Thursday’s game with a sore left ankle, Leonard will not be available. His absence leaves a massive hole in the Clippers’ starting lineup. While Nicolas Batum is a potential replacement in the starting lineup, his fantasy value is minimal at best. Bennedict Mathurin stands to be the primary scoring option, but he’s already rostered in most leagues.

Rudy Gobert recorded a double-double on Tuesday with 10 points (4-of-5 FGs), 19 rebounds, four assists, one steal and two blocks against the Trail Blazers.

Gobert was back after serving a one-game suspension on Sunday, and he picked up right where he left off. He had 22 points and 17 rebounds in his previous game, and while he didn’t do as much scoring, he was able to set a new season high for rebounds. Gobert isn’t the same player that he used to be, but he’s still capable of making a big impact for fantasy managers, just like he did in this game.

Jaden McDaniels lit up the Trail Blazers with 29 points (12-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, three steals, five blocks and five three-pointers on Tuesday.

McDaniels has been excellent all season, and this was another big-time performance for him. Not only did he have a strong night as a scorer, but he also contributed eight defensive stats in the win. This was only the second time in NBA history that a player finished with at least three steals, five blocks and five three-pointers, with Brook Lopez achieving those marks in a game in 2024. McDaniels has provided top-20 value in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks.

Anthony Edwards led the Timberwolves with 34 points (11-of-27 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, two steals, five three-pointers and five turnovers in a 124-121 win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Edwards got off to a scorching hot start to this game, entering the break with 25 points. However, he went ice-cold in the second half and wasn’t able to add to what could have been a monster night for him. It ended up being an inefficient shooting night, but he also has 12 turnovers over his last two games. He’ll look to clean that up against the Clippers on Thursday.

Naz Reid (shoulder) is available for Tuesday’s matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Reid will return following a one-game absence, which should cut significantly into Joan Beringer’s minutes. With Rudy Gobert back after serving a one-game suspension, Reid should handle his usual role as Minnesota’s Sixth Man.

Naz Reid (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.

Reid missed Sunday’s loss to the 76ers with a sore right shoulder and is questionable for Tuesday’s matchup with the Trail Blazers. Joan Beringer started and had seven points and three rebounds in 17 minutes with Reid out on Sunday.

Anthony Edwards had 28 points (11-of-19 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and three three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the 76ers.

Edwards was coming off a 40-point performance in the win over the Mavericks on Friday. The 24-year-old shooting guard still had a good game with 28 points on 19 field goal attempts, though it wasn’t enough to earn the victory against the 76ers on Sunday. Edwards has provided 12th-overall per game value this season, according to Basketball Monster. The Timberwolves have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Naz Reid (shoulder) is out for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Initially questionable, Reid will sit out Sunday’s game with a shoulder injury. With Rudy Gobert serving a one-game suspension for flagrant foul point accumulation, rookie Joan Beringer will receive the starting nod. Due to Minnesota’s lack of healthy post players, he is worth streaming in 12-team leagues. Anthony Edwards, Donte DiVincenzo, Jaden McDaniels and Julius Randle complete the starting five.

Naz Reid (shoulder) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Sunday.

Reid didn’t make the original injury report, but there is now a chance he misses Sunday’s game against Philadelphia. In that scenario, Joan Beringer would likely see a bump in minutes as the backup center, though that won’t be a large enough role for him to be worth streaming.

Rudy Gobert has been suspended one game for accruing his seventh flagrant foul.

Rudy Gobert has been suspended one game for accruing his seventh flagrant foul point.

Gobert was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an “unnecessary flail” during Friday’s win over the Mavericks. The NBA announced Saturday that the foul was upheld and thus Gobert has been suspended one game without pay for accruing his seventh flagrant foul point of the regular season. The 33-year-old center will serve his suspension Sunday against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer could move into the starting lineup in Gobert’s absence. While Reid has fantasy value either way, Beringer is only relevant if he’s starting.

Rudy Gobert recorded 22 points (9-of-11 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), 17 rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocks in Friday’s win over the Mavericks.

Gobert had one of his best games of the season on Friday, but he may not be available for Minnesota’s next game. The 7-foot-1 center was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an “unnecessary flail” during Friday’s victory. If the league office doesn’t rescind the call, Gobert will be suspended for Sunday’s game against the 76ers. Naz Reid or Joan Beringer, with the latter playing four minutes on Friday, would be the replacement in the starting lineup. While Reid offers solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, Beringer needs to start to be of value to fantasy managers.

Naz Reid finished Friday’s win over the Mavericks with 21 points (8-of-14 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and four three-pointers.

Reid had the kind of night that has made him a favorite of fantasy managers for quite some time, recording a complete stat line while shooting over 50 percent from the field. The only quibble for fantasy managers would be the foul shooting, but Reid only attempted two free throws on the night. With Rudy Gobert facing a one-game suspension for flagrant foul points, the Timberwolves will need another big night from Reid on Sunday against the 76ers, even if he doesn’t start.
