Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is set to play in Monday night's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Gobert has been managing a left ankle sprain but has not missed any games this season. He is currently averaging 10.8 points and 10.3 rebounds early in 2024. If Gobert's playing time is restricted, Naz Reid will take over. Reid has been performing well off the bench, averaging 13.7 points and 6.2 rebounds, making him a solid option in fantasy leagues.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Gobert is dealing with a left-ankle sprain. The 32-year-old has yet to miss any action this season, averaging 10.8 points and 10.3 rebounds to start 2024. With a matchup against the Hornets on deck, it wouldn't be surprising if the Timberwolves gave Gobert a little extra time to heal his ankle if it's serious. Otherwise, fantasy managers should expect Gobert to get the start on Monday. If he is ruled out, though, expect Naz Reid to get the start at center. Reid is averaging 13.7 points and 6.2 rebounds off the bench and should be targeted in all fantasy formats, regardless of whether he's coming off the bench or not.
New York Knicks forward Karl-Anthony Towns is available and starting for the Knicks on Friday in their matchup against the Detroit Pistons. Towns was originally listed as questionable with a wrist injury but will be able to play through the pain. The 28-year-old will have a tough matchup against the Pistons who have been strong defensively against forwards. Towns has been sporadic in his offensive production so far, posting up point totals of 12, 21, 13 and 44 on the season. He's providing much more consistency from a rebounding perspective, averaging 11.3 RPG. Fantasy managers will certainly still want him in their starting lineups no matter what. DFS managers may want to take caution with adding him in their lineups given the volatility of tonight's matchup.
