The Minnesota Timberwolves have listed center Rudy Gobert (ankle) as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. Gobert fought through a sprained left ankle in Tuesday's victory over the San Antonio Spurs, but his status is uncertain for the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back. It's worth noting the 31-year-old interior presence logged 39 minutes Tuesday, so if the T-Wolves elect to give Gobert the night off, expect Naz Reid to start at power forward in the frontcourt alongside the returning Karl-Anthony Towns against a depleted Memphis squad that ranks 24th in fantasy points allowed to the position, per DraftKings scoring.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) has officially been listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Spurs. After missing Saturday's clash with the Nets due to an ankle sprain, Gobert practiced on Monday and "looked good," according to Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch. However, the team has refrained from declaring him available for Tuesday's game. Naz Reid had 27 minutes off the bench without Gobert on Saturday and would benefit from his absence again. It's a matchup against Victor Wembanyama, who has been terrific defensively during his rookie campaign, but all of the Timberwolves bigs have posted solid numbers in the previous head-to-head meetings this season.
Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch says center Rudy Gobert (ankle) went through practice Monday and expects the big man to participate in Tuesday's session. "[Gobert] looked good", Finch said. Gobert sprained his left ankle in Friday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks and sat out Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Minnesota will officially update the three-time Defensive Player of the Year's game status for Tuesday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs later on Monday.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) won't suit up on Saturday versus Brooklyn. He tweaked his ankle on Friday in the loss to Milwaukee. However, the injury must not be too serious, considering the multi-time MVP logged 38 minutes and ended the night with a double-double. Nevertheless, without Gobert in the lineup, Naz Reid will be a popular DFS value option. At the same time, Kyle Anderson, averaging 17 points and eight boards without Gobert on the floor this year, is someone to consider.
Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's matchup against the Nets. The multi-time Defensive Player of the Year reported after Friday's meeting with Milwaukee that he tweaked his ankle. However, he still logged 38 minutes and finished with a double-double with two blocks. That said, considering Brooklyn is one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association, fantasy managers may not see Gobert out there on Saturday. But even if he plays, he might be limited. As a result, Naz Reid could see a bump in fantasy production, even more so if Gobert is officially declared out.
