Availability
Naz Reid flirted with a double-double off of the bench for the Timberwolves Thursday night, grabbing six rebounds and chipping in 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-7 3PT, 1-1 FT) while also dishing out three assists in a 142-138 loss to the Nuggets.
Fantasy Impact
Reid continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with six or more rebounds and eight or more points in each of his last five games. The forward continues to offer head coach Chris Finch one of many options as part of a deep Minnesota rotation, averaging 13.7 points and 6.3 rebounds per game to go along with a 20.6% usage rate so far this season.
Naz Reid scored 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3PT, 2-2 FT) with 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in Sunday's 117-103 victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Fantasy Impact
With Rudy Gobert (personal) exiting Sunday’s game early, Reid logged a December-high 35 minutes and made the most of the opportunity, recording his first double-double of the month. If Gobert is unavailable for Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, Reid would see increased minutes, making him an intriguing daily fantasy option.
Naz Reid led the Timberwolves second unit Friday night, scoring 18 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3PT, 1-2 FT) while also dishing out seven assists, recording one steal, and grabbing four rebounds in a 127-120 win over the Warriors.
Fantasy Impact
Reid continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with four or more rebounds and six or more points in each of his last five games. The 26-year-old continues to make the most of his role mostly as part of the Minnesota second unit for head coach Chris Finch, averaging 13.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per game to go along with a 20.8% usage rate so far this season.
Naz Reid played a pivotal role in Thursday's victory over the Pelicans, tallying 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal, two blocks, and four three-pointers. He finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Julius Randle in a balanced attack that saw seven Timberwolves reach double figures.
Fantasy Impact
The big man logged 33 minutes, marking his fourth consecutive game with at least 28 minutes of action. Notably, he was on the floor to close the game as the coaching staff opted for a smaller lineup, leaving starter Rudy Gobert on the bench. This trend of heavy usage and crunch-time trust continues to elevate his fantasy ceiling.
Naz Reid delivered one of his most versatile performances of the season in Tuesday's victory over the Pelicans, establishing new season highs with six assists and three steals. Operating off the bench, he also provided 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting, five rebounds, and four three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
The big man continues to prove himself as one of the NBA's elite reserves. Although his production has dipped slightly across the board compared to last year, Reid remains a top-100 option in nine-category leagues due to his ability to fill up the box sheet.
