Timberwolves' Naz Reid (calf) status in air Saturday
Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid (left calf soreness) is questionable for Saturday versus the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Rudy Gobert (ankle) is also questionable for the second leg of the Timberwolves' back-to-back, so Reid could start if Gobert is ruled out. If Reid and Gobert are both ruled out, there will be more minutes in the frontcourt for Nathan Knight, Kyle Anderson, and Taurean Prince.
Reid has a $5,900 salary on Saturday’s eight-game slate and numberFire's models project him for 22.7 FanDuel points over 19.3 minutes if Gobert is active. 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.
