Naz Reid Fantasy Stats

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Naz Reid was benched at halftime and didn't play in the second half of a 97-89 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. "Unfortunately, he didn't meet our standards in the first half, and at halftime we made a decision that he wouldn't play in the second half. But I look forward to him meeting those standards come next game," Hornets coach Charles Lee said. Reid played 13 minutes in the Pistons game and scored seven points on 2-of-6 shooting from the field with six rebounds and one blocked shot. He was 1-of-1 from behind the 3-point line. Reid is averaging 17.0 points per game this season with 8.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Naz Reid recorded 13 points and four rebounds in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 124-90 preseason loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He shot 3-for-9 from the field, 1-for-5 from three, and 6-for-7 at the line. Head coach Charles Lee highlighted Reid's versatility and ability to create out of mismatches after the game. Reid averaged 13.6 points and 6.2 rebounds in 26.1 minutes with Minnesota last season, mostly in a reserve role. If he sticks in the starting lineup in Charlotte, the extra minutes should give him more chances to score and rebound.

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Naz Reid is in line to open the season as a full-time starter after arriving from Minnesota in the LaMelo Ball trade, ESPN's Andre Snellings writes. The 2023-24 Sixth Man of the Year has never held that kind of role, but he averaged 13.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks last season while shooting 36.2 percent from three in a crowded Timberwolves frontcourt. The fit in Charlotte gives him a cleaner fantasy runway. Coby White should take over as the primary initiator, while Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller will also command touches on the wing. Reid's per-minute production has always been useful, and a steady starting workload could push him toward career highs in points, rebounds, and threes.

The Charlotte Hornets acquired big man Naz Reid as part of the blockbuster trade sending LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 26-year-old averaged 13.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.2 assists while shooting 45.6 percent from the field and 36.2 percent from deep for Minnesota last season. Reid's fantasy outlook gets more interesting with the Hornets, especially if Charlotte gives him a bigger frontcourt role after years of sharing touches in Minnesota. Brandon Miller and Kon Knueppel should see more creation chances with Ball gone, but Reid gives the roster a proven floor-spacing big who can score without needing plays called for him.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics after missing two games with a right ankle sprain. Reid should resume his usual role as a key reserve behind Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert, providing scoring and defensive stats off the bench. Over his last five games, Reid has averaged 12.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 24.7 minutes while shooting 51.1 percent from the field and 90.0 percent from the line. His return likely pushes Joan Beringer out of the rotation.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, marking his second straight absence. Kyle Anderson could continue to see extra run after putting up eight points, three rebounds, six assists, and one steal in 22 minutes last game, giving him some deep-league appeal for assists from a forward spot. Rookie big Joan Beringer may also see a limited run after grabbing seven rebounds in nine minutes. Rudy Gobert should continue handling the bulk of the center workload. Reid remains roster-worthy if he can return soon.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers and could miss a second straight contest. If he sits, Kyle Anderson could see added playmaking opportunities after posting eight points, six assists, and one steal in 22 minutes last game. Terrence Shannon Jr. may also pick up extra wing minutes after an eight-point effort, while Joan Beringer could remain in the rotation following a seven-rebound showing in limited action. All three remain difficult to trust for fantasy lineups during the playoffs.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (ankle) won't play Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Reid rarely misses time, but a right ankle sprain will keep him sidelined for this contest. The 26-year-old has missed just one other game all season. Anthony Edwards (knee) will also be out, opening up additional minutes for Bones Hyland, Kyle Anderson, and Joan Beringer. Hyland profiles as a viable short-term streaming option after posting 22 points, five assists, two rebounds, and one steal in 29 minutes against Phoenix on Tuesday.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Phoenix Suns. Reid sustained a right shoulder contusion during Sunday's loss to Oklahoma City, leaving his status uncertain for Tuesday's game. It's the first game of a back-to-back for Minnesota, and the team will want to avoid risking a more serious injury to Reid. If he doesn't play Tuesday night, more minutes will likely go to Kyle Anderson and Joan Beringer, although neither player has much fantasy appeal.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (shoulder) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday night's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Reid missed Minnesota's last game with a sore right shoulder but will be able to return to the rotation along with Rudy Gobert, who will be back in the lineup after sitting out one game due to a suspension for accumulated technical fouls. Joan Beringer started at center on Sunday, but with both Reid and Gobert back, the 19-year-old will return to his more limited role.
