Naz Reid Fantasy Stats

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.

According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid (head) won't play on Tuesday versus Denver. Reid was initially listed as questionable for the game after he injured his head in Monday's matchup against Utah. He comes out of the lineup for the first time this season. Reid's absence is a fresh blow for Minnesota's injury-hit frontcourt, although Rudy Gobert (ribs) could still be available on Tuesday.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (head) is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. After leaving Monday's victory over the Utah Jazz with a head injury, Reid's status remains unclear on the second night of Minnesota's back-to-back. Since Rudy Gobert (ribs) is also uncertain to play, the T-Wolves may have no choice but to use forwards Jaden McDaniels and Kyle Anderson as their primary centers in a daunting task against superstar Nikola Jokic and company. Former Iowa standout Luka Garza could be the last traditional big man standing, but he hasn't started a game since the 2021-22 campaign with the Detroit Pistons. It's still worth mentioning that in five career games as a starter, Garza is generating 11.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.0 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per contest.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Naz Reid exited Monday's contest against Utah with a head injury, leaving his status for Tuesday's matchup versus Denver up in the air. Reid was hurt near the end of the first half when he took a hit to the back of the head from John Collins. It was a big first half for Reid, as he collected 17 points, four rebounds, and one block in 17 minutes. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Rudy Gobert (ribs) already on the shelf, the Timberwolves went small in the second half and started Nickeil Alexander-Walker in Reid's place. Alexander-Walker produced a nice all-around line in the game and could have a significant part to play again on Tuesday. Luka Garza was limited to 11 minutes on Monday but could have a much bigger role to play on Tuesday, with Minnesota needing to slow down Nikola Jokic.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid made easy work of the Memphis Grizzlies defense during Thursday's game. The big man looked consistent all night long as he shot 8-of-13 from the floor for 20 points. Reid also added three rebounds, one assist, and two steals in the win over Memphis. This 20-point outing was his highest scoring outing since December 30 against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite coming off the bench, Reid has done enough to warrant being rostered in most fantasy formats right now.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (neck) was originally listed as questionable for the team's matchup against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday but he was officially upgraded to available and he will play. The 24-year-old has been a big part of the team's success as the primary backup big man. He's seeing the most minutes per contest of his career so far this season and has turned that into a career-high mark in points, but outside of that he's only contributed a bit on the boards. He's more fantasy-relevant in deeper leagues, but he'll serve as a great streaming option whenever Karl-Anthony Towns or Rudy Gobert miss any time.
