What It Means:

The Timberwolves are considering giving Gobert the night off for the second leg of their back-to-back for a lingering ankle issue. He played 33 minutes on Friday versus the Chicago Bulls and scored 21 points with 19 boards and 5 blocks. Naz Reid (calf) is also questionable, so the Timberwolves could be real thin down low on Saturday. Nathan Knight, Kyle Anderson, and Taurean Prince would all be in line for more run if Gobert is out.

Gobert has a $7,700 salary on Saturday’s eight-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 37.8 FanDuel points over 30.8 minutes. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Timberwolves' implied total (107.75) and the game total (224.5) are both the second-lowest on Saturday's eight-game slate. The Raptors are allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to opposing centers this season.
