Minnesota Timberwolves DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) has been downgraded to out ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man was considered questionable coming into this game after exiting early during their last contest. Naz Reid figures to move into the starting five with Gobert unavailable. Reid has been a top-75 value fantasy player over the last two weeks. That being said, Reid appears to be a strong streaming option heading into Saturday's game.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man was forced to exit early on Tuesday after taking a hit during the fourth quarter. The Wolves would be thin with Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) already sidelined. Naz Reid would be asked to play big minutes if Gobert is unable to play on Saturday. Reid would be a strong streaming option if given an extended role in the rotation. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Saturday for another update.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (hamstring) will play on Tuesday against the Clippers. The multi-time MVP injured his hamstring on Friday night in Cleveland and wasn't available on Sunday against the Lakers. However, despite holding a questionable designation, he's good to go. Gobert has averaged 14.7 points, 15.0 rebounds, and 3.7 blocks in three meetings versus Los Angeles this season, meaning he has appeal across all fantasy platforms, including for those participating in DFS contests. But Gobert's availability could lower the ceiling of Naz Reid, who had 25 points and four blocks on Sunday.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) will play on Tuesday versus the Clippers. He tweaked his ankle a few games ago. However, despite holding a place on the injury report, Edwards hasn't missed any games because of it. The 22-year-old has played well in three meetings with Los Angeles this season, averaging 27.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.7 steals, meaning fantasy managers should feel more enthusiastic about having him in their lineups. Yet, Edwards' presence means less work for Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who would have seen streaming attention had he been a member of the starting lineup.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Clippers. The 22-year-old tweaked his ankle a few games ago and has been listed on the injury report since. However, it hasn't cost him any time. That said, barring a significant setback, Edwards will be out there on Tuesday. But if he's not, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 9.8 points, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in 18 starts during the 2023-24 campaign, would likely remain with the first five.
