Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (back) remains listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He has been out for eight games with a back issue. One man's misfortune is another man's opportunity, and Naz Reid has enjoyed the limelight during Gobert's absence. He has recently been a regular 20-point scorer while racking up double-doubles for fun. Reid's overall numbers as a starter this season stand at an impressive 18.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks.


Denver Nuggets center Zeke Nnaji (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 24-year-old is dealing with a minor ankle injury that shouldn't sideline him for this contest. His playing time has been inconsistent lately, but he could see a bigger role if Aaron Gordon (ankle) or Nikola Jokic (ankle) are unable to play on Friday. Nnaji is really only worth a look as a streaming option if Gordon or Jokic are unable to play.


Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (rest) has not been included on the injury report for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. The veteran seems ready to return to the lineup after missing the tail end of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. Conley has not been a good fantasy asset in 2024-25, and the return of Donte DiVincenzo has further diminished his value. The 37-year-old is averaging a career-low 24.9 minutes and 8.1 points.


Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Gordon has missed the last three games and is in danger of sitting out another contest. When healthy, Gordon has been playing better lately, but has been an inconsistent fantasy option this season. If he misses more time, Zeke Nnaji (ankle) and Peyton Watson figure to see bigger roles in the rotation. Between the two, Nnaji is the better streaming choice right now.


Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The superstar big man has been playing through an ankle issue lately. Despite that, Jokic has still registered a double-double in four straight games. It doesn't seem that the ankle issue is impacting Jokic on the court, but maybe the Nuggets will take the cautious approach on Friday. If they do, Zeke Nnaji (ankle) and DeAndre Jordan figure to see more run in the rotation.
