Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) was forced to exit early during Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He only played five minutes before apparently aggravating his groin injury. The Wolves are going to take the cautious approach and hold Gobert out for the rest of this game. Naz Reid would be worth using as a streaming option, assuming Gobert misses more time than just this game. Luka Garza and Nathan Knight would likely see increased minutes as well, but Reid is the much ...

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (hip) and center Rudy Gobert (groin) are available for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players have been dealing with lingering injuries, but they appear to be healthy enough to suit up for this game. Edwards continues to play through a hip issue, so he could be limited if it bothers him during this game. Otherwise, both players should see their normal workloads on Monday. Naz Reid won't have as much streaming appeal with Gobert healthy ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (groin) didn't return to Saturday's win over Cleveland because of right groin soreness. He finished the game with only six points, four rebounds, and one steal in 13 minutes of action. It's possible Gobert could miss time, beginning with Monday's matchup against his former team, the Utah Jazz. Karl-Anthony Towns (calf) remains out, so Naz Reid, who had 17 points and seven boards in this one, is the favorite to enter the starting lineup if Gobert can't...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert feasted against the Clippers on Friday, recording 25 points and 21 rebounds in a 128-115 win. The Clippers have been a great matchup for centers all year and Gobert took full advantage of it to log his second 20-20 game of the season. He missed only four of 15 shots and also produced two blocks in the contest. Gobert entered 2023 on a quiet stretch, but he has started to pick up steam again and will look to boost his numbers further Sunday versus ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (illness) will be available for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The big man sat out on Friday due to a non-COVID related illness. Luckily, Gobert is feeling good enough to play on Saturday. His return will shift Naz Reid back to the bench where his value will likely take a hit. It's worth noting that Karl-Anthony Towns is still sidelined, so Reid should still have a decent role off the bench. Fantasy managers who are rostering Reid should...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Milwaukee due to an illness. Naz Reid stands to draw significant DFS appeal without Gobert in the mix, as the fourth-year big man has averaged 21.7 points and 8.3 rebounds across three starts this season. The absence of Gobert on the interior will be a major step back for Minnesota, as the three-time Defensive Player of the Year ranks third in the league with 12 rebounds per contest. His next ...

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (illness) is suffering from a non-COVID illness and the team has listed him as questionable for their contest against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The French big man was a late addition to the injury report which doesn't bode well for his chances to play. If he is sidelined, Naz Reid would become a great streaming option as the main frontcourt player.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Dallas after missing his previous three games. With the defensive specialist back on the floor, Naz Reid will head back to the bench, so he'll lose some fantasy appeal. Although Gobert could see fewer minutes in his first game back from the layoff, he should be included in every fantasy lineup.
