Naz Reid DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/centerNaz Reid(suspension) was suspended for one game on Tuesday. Reid will serve a one-game suspension for his involvement in an on-court altercation with the Pistons on Sunday. Donte DiVincenzo was also involved in the scuffle and won't be able to play Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets. With Reid sidelined, Minnesota's frontcourt will likely need Luka Garza to take on extra minutes for this evening's contest.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (finger) is good to go for Monday's action against the Sacramento Kings. The team has upgraded his status from questionable to available ahead of tip-off. Reid will make a second consecutive start, with Julius Randle (groin) remaining on the shelf. A finger sprain ruined Reid's first start of the campaign on Saturday against the Washington Wizards, limiting him to eight points and three rebounds in 20 minutes. However, his career numbers as a first-unit member are solid at 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (finger) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. A finger injury limited Reid to 20 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards, and he may have to sit out Monday's contest entirely. Reid took Julius Randle's (groin) starting spot on Saturday, and Luka Garza might now be the next man up. Garza has been dominant in the G League but has made a limited impact in the NBA, averaging 5.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (finger) exited Saturday's loss to the Washington Wizards. He did not return. The 25-year-old, who got the start in this one, logged 20 minutes before suffering a right finger injury in the third quarter. With Minnesota preparing for Julius Randle (groin) to miss extended time, being without Reid moving forward isn't a good situation for a club that has dealt with its share of injuries during the 2024-25 campaign. If Reid doesn't suit up for Monday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings, Luka Garza and Joe Ingles may take over things at the four spot. However, both players have a lot to prove before earning a consistent spot in fantasy lineups.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (illness) was not able to play on Wednesday after playing in each of the Wolves' first 46 games this season, but he is not on the injury report for Thursday when the Wolves will visit the Jazz to close out their back-to-back. In 25.3 minutes off the bench, he averaged 13.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 2.1 three-pointers per game. Reid's return should help take the load off Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert and could push Luke Garza back out of the rotation.
