Naz Reid's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid will remain a bench piece in 2024-25. The 25-year-old was voted the NBA Sixth Man of the Year last season and will continue to roll with the second unit behind starting big men Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle (shoulder). Reid notched 13.5 points with 5.2 rebounds in 24.2 minutes last season, boosting his numbers to 17.6 points and 7.0 boards in 14 games as a starter. He will likely see him as a starter again at some point this season, considering Randle's injury history -- he has averaged 64 games per season during his 10-year NBA career.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid had a busy night off the bench in Wednesday's Game 1 against Dallas, recording 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in a 108-105 loss. Reid demonstrated perfectly why he was voted the Sixth Man of the Year, making an impact in all areas across 24 minutes of action. He finished with 5-for-9 shooting, going 3-for-6 with the three-ball. Reid's numbers have dropped in the playoffs, along with his playing time, but that's now three efforts in four games with 10-plus points from him. Minnesota will need more of the same in the battle against Dallas' well-equipped frontcourt.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid was named the Sixth Man of the Year for the 2023-24 season on Wednesday. Reid, who signed a three-year, $42 million extension with the club last offseason, averaged a career-high 13.5 points and 5.2 rebounds while shooting 41.4% from deep in 81 appearances. Without question, he will play a vital role in Minnesota's rotation for years to come, and his fantasy stock will be significantly higher heading into the 2024-25 campaign after capturing the award.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is available for Friday's contest with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Wolves center Rudy Gobert (rib) is also good to go. With the two big men available, Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels could see their minutes reduced in the rotation. Having Reid and Gobert suit up provides Minnesota with some balance up front with Karl Anthony Towns long-term absence (knee).

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man is in danger of missing another game after suffering a head injury during Monday's game. The Wolves could be thin at the center spot with Rudy Gobert (rib) also listed as questionable for Thursday. The good news is that both players were able to participate during Thursday's shootaround. If they sit, Kyle Anderson and Jaden McDaniels would be asked to play bigger minutes in the rotation. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Friday for another update.
