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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reid and Hawks forward Mouhamed Gueye got into an altercation early in the fourth quarter, as the latter pushed the former to set things off. Both players were ejected for their actions. Reid finished with seven points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one blocked shot in 21 minutes.

Reid, who’s reached double figures in four straight and six of his last seven games, had one of his best all-around games of the month on Saturday. The six three-pointers were a new season-high, and he was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Over the past month, Reid has been a top-40 player in fantasy basketball according to Basketball Monster. If he’s sitting on the waiver wire in a shallow league, don’t hesitate to pick him up.

With Rudy Gobert initially questionable for Thursday’s game with a sprained left ankle, it appeared that Reid would have a chance to start. Gobert (14 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal) played, but his presence in the lineup didn’t keep Reid from doing what he usually does as the highest-scoring reserve in the NBA. Over the past two weeks, he has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats.

Reid has scored 20 points or more in ten games this season, with five occurring since January 1. The Timberwolves’ forward/center once again offered excellent value off the bench, and he’s reached double figures in four of his last five games. Minnesota still has two more games on its Week 15 schedule, starting with the Thunder on Thursday.

It continues to come inconsistently, but Reid has been a fantasy beast at times this season. Usually, that’s because of an offensive explosion, which held true in this game. However, it was the defensive impact that made this so impressive. The blocks were a new season high for him, and for a player only averaging 0.9 blocks per game this year, that isn’t a category that managers have relied on from him. He’ll look to stay hot against the Warriors on Saturday.

Reid exited Saturday’s matchup with the Spurs early with the shoulder injury, but he’ll be back in action without missing a game. With Rudy Gobert (hip) also available, Reid should occupy his usual spot off the bench.

Reid, who started for Rudy Gobert, left Saturday’s loss to the Spurs during the first half with a sore left shoulder. Gobert’s off the injury report, so he’ll be back in the starting lineup. If Reid can’t play against the Jazz, rookie Joan Beringer may enter the rotation.

Reid, who was starting for the injured Rudy Gobert, left Saturday’s game during the first quarter with a sore left shoulder. He only played five minutes before being ruled out at the start of the third quarter. Rookie Joan Beringer started the third in Reid’s place, and he’s going to get valuable in-game experience facing Victor Wembanyama.

The Timberwolves won’t have Rudy Gobert for Saturday’s game, as he’s out with a hip injury. He’s replaced in the lineup by Reid. While this is a clear upgrade offensively, the Timberwolves’ defense takes a significant hit. Also, Edwards’ return means that Mike Conley will come off the bench.

Reid returned to the bench with Rudy Gobert back after serving a one-game suspension, but that didn’t slow down his scoring. This was his third 20-point double-double of the season, and over his last four games, Reid is averaging 21.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.0 steal, 1.0 block and 3.8 triples per game. This was one of his best performances of the season, and he’ll look to stay hot in San Antonio on Saturday.

Reid recorded his fifth double-double of the season and first since December 14 on Sunday. And his fantasy ceiling will be raised for the start of Week 13, as Rudy Gobert will be suspended for Tuesday’s game against the Bucks due to flagrant foul point accumulation. Reid has yet to start a game this season; that’s likely to change in Milwaukee.

It hasn’t come consistently, but when Reid is hot, he’s been able to pour in the points for Minnesota off the bench. Over his last seven games, he has scored at least 20 points three times, including a 29-point game and a 33-point game. He’s also scored less than 10 points three times during that stretch. The production has been hit-or-miss, so we’ll see which side the coin lands on against the Spurs on Sunday.

Reid played a central role helping Minnesota build up a 19-point lead by the late stages of the fourth quarter, supplying 20 second-half points. The 26-year-old big man has been hot-and-cold from a scoring standpoint but he’s registered at least 29 points in two of his last three games. He should be able to take advantage of an extremely favorable matchup against the Wizards on Sunday.

Reid was a force of nature in the second half, going off for 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 4-of-6 from three-point range. The 26-year-old big main drained a season-high six triples in this one while also chipping in seven boards and three assists in a stat sheet-stuffing effort. He’s capable of delivering outstanding fantasy value when he’s feeling it from downtown. He’s a must-start for the remainder of the week when the Timberwolves face the Hawks, Heat and Wizards.

Reid being part of the closing lineup has been a common occurrence this season, raising his fantasy ceiling in the process. All that was missing from his stat line on Friday was a three-pointer, but managers will undoubtedly take the rebounds and “stocks.” Over the last two weeks, Reid has been a top-75 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-50 in the latter.

While Reid didn’t have his best night shooting the basketball, he recorded another complete stat line in what has been an excellent run of production. Over the past two weeks, the Timberwolves’ forward/center has been a top-30 player in nine-cat formats. And with his role remaining consistent, Reid’s chances of sustaining this production level are good. With Anthony Edwards (foot) out, Naz is one of the players whose usage has increased slightly in recent games, much to the delight of fantasy managers.

Reid played an increased role for Minnesota in the second half, pouring in 13 points over 19 minutes off the bench, after Rudy Gobert left the contest for personal reasons. It’s unclear how much time Gobert is going to miss, if any, but Reid would be the most significant beneficiary from a minutes standpoint. The 26-year-old big man has contributed second-round fantasy value over the past two weeks, averaging a robust 16.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.5 blocks over his last six games.

Reid has scored at least 18 points in three consecutive games, the first time he’s done so since mid-November. His corner three-pointer with 13.5 seconds remaining broke a 104-all tie and gave the Timberwolves the lead for good. A top-75 player on the season, Reid has provided top-40 value over the past two weeks. The Timberwolves play three games during Week 8, starting with the Suns on Monday.

Seven Timberwolves scored in double figures on Thursday, with Reid’s total being surpassed only by Julius Randle, who scored 28. With head coach Chris Finch being willing to go small down the stretch, as he has on a few occasions this season, it was Reid who was on the floor while starting center Rudy Gobert was on the bench. Reid is already rostered in 74 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but, notably, he’s played at least 28 minutes in each of his last four appearances (33 on Thursday). Consistently hitting or exceeding that number would likely raise his fantasy ceiling.

Reid has once again been one of the best reserves in the NBA, but he was able to do more than just score in this one. He set new season highs for both assists and steals, which led to one of his more complete performances of the season. Reid has once again been a top-100 player in nine-category leagues this year despite a slight drop in production across the board.

On a night when the Timberwolves didn’t have Jaden McDaniels for the first time in 158 games, Reid stepped up with one of his best performances of the season. He finished with his third 20-point game of the season, and the 28 points were a season-high for the forward. If McDaniels misses more time, Reid’s fantasy value should increase, even though Mike Conley (10/1/6/1 with one three-pointer) will be the replacement in the starting lineup.

Reid came out of the gate on fire, knocking down 8-of-11 from the floor to finish the first half with a game-high 19 points off the bench and notch his third double-double of the season. He finished with a season-high 22 points, needing just 22 minutes to accomplish the feat. The Timberwolves are back in action when they face the rebuilding Wizards on Wednesday night.

Reid played a season-high 35 minutes, which led to him nearly matching his season-high of 21 points. If he didn’t foul out, he may have been able to. Reid has been one of the best sixth men in the NBA over the last few seasons and is more than capable of turning in big nights when his shot is falling. However, his minutes have been down this year, which has limited his impact.

Having started slowly to begin the season, Reid has shown signs of getting back on track. He’s scored 16 points or more in three of his last four outings, including a season-high 21 on Monday. There wasn’t much value to be had outside of the points, percentages and three-pointers, but every little bit helps for category league managers. Anthony Edwards’ absence means there are more touches to go around, and Reid has benefited despite coming off the bench. Given his current run, it may be too late to “buy low” on Reid.
